People in the world of cryptocurrency are all hoping, expecting, praying and also wishing that come the end of this year -- December 2019 -- there can be a bull run for both Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency market. Sadly, things are not yet picking up and I am not seeing big signs that we can have it this year.
I am concerned that if there will be bull run (even a mild one will do) this year, we can be starting the year 2019 with a gloomy mood setting up for the rest of the year a bearish situation. Of course, not unless maybe there can be that ETF thing approval from SEC maybe that can be the big difference.
I think we do not need ETFs, but Bitcoin is now as stable as many investors are willing. The SEC did it in secret and did not let anyone know. This is a great thing and I think it will definitely grow and that will be its real value. It will be difficult for manipulators to manipulate the price of the BTC anymore.
