Guys, don't stop believing Cheesy
Now is the time to buy. It’s a chance to catch the dip. The industry will definitely grow and here are the reasons:

1. Bakkt launch (latest news: January 24th, 2019) - This is a project from the owners of NYSE that offers an open and regulated global ecosystem for digital assets (In simple words, it will become a US-based futures exchange and clearing house). Bakkt should provide a clear path for institutional investors to use when trading crypto. For all current investors, institutional capital is one of the expected raising points.
2. ETF approved by the SEC - This will boost more institutional investors to the market. The last comments from the SEC were that the ETF will be approved only after they make sure that the market is not being manipulated.
3. Lightning network adoption - 4,080 nodes this year and that number is rising fast. It will help to solve scaling problems and enable people to use Bitcoin for everyday purchases.
4. Regulated ICO or STO - This will create a real Investment space for projects that will make “tokens” safer for investors. A lot of infrastructure, such as Disclosures, Liquidity Protocols, P2P-Swap Trading Protocols, Debt Tokens, Decentralized Marketplaces, and Custody will serve to help protect investors.
5. Launch of TON (70% ready) - This will be the first real use of tokens in a project that adds value.
6. Real SWIFT replacement by Ripple (or any other) - One of the main uses of crypto is payments, so if we see a “production” solution then more and more people will start to use that.
7. Ethereum moving to POS - The main use of Ethereum is for ICOs, so will it be helpful to move to POS if ICOs are now finished?
8. Wait for 2020 - That is the year when the amount of newly mined BTC will decrease twofold. However, the use of this currency is expected to become more mainstream, thus increasing its demand and, of course, value.

That is all a load of rubbish and wishful thinking - it does not answer the question posed very well earlier in this thread - who the hell is going to come in with 600 Billion USD to match what has been lost?
