Its a sudden But regrettable News that the SEC has ones again rejected a Proposal Regarding BTC, this time by ETF. somehow i saw this comming especially after an earlier rejection of a Winklevloss ETF which proposed physical trading of BTC. The rejection reasons are the same old ones., Market Manipulation being one of the major. To me this is an expression of how badly the SEC wishes they could control BTC and as long as they dont have the control button, no proposal will ever go through. with the current red market situation, im certain that somehow, the decision is going to have negative effects on the BTC value. Which brings the concern of WHATS GONNA HAPPEN TO THE CRYPTO KING

You know, it's like telling "Omg, HBO will not show anymore Hollywood productions, what's going to happen with Hollywood?"
Bitcoin is fine. As you can see today's rejection didn't even affect the markets as much as the panicking ones expected.
You've got it right, market manipulation is big. But it's big with or without ETF. All in all life goes on, Bitcoin development and adoption goes on, LN testing goes on and we HODL and wait for better days on the market too.

I would lover to think in this manner only and should be positive about the market. Lets just forget about the SEC and all the ETF stuff because that is what that is in between them and their decisions. Neither ETF had any investment into the crypto currency no it is going to affect the prices of bitcoin or even other coins out there. I guess it is pretty simple that if there is just framework of something and no real thing then how can anyone even imagine that it will collapse the whole structure? Just chill, and lets focus on the crypto the way it was and it is.
