I couldn't have been more interested in BTC than now even with its current price nearing the $40k mark. It's still expected to rise with certain new policies being enforced as regards the ban on using mixrs.

I don't see if it is a downward spiral for those who only just got interested because of the anonymity tools it combines to enable swift payment that isn't trackable or if it would be an upward spiral and have something to do with influencing the prices of crypto mostly BTC and the purchase of BTC by giants or whales or it would create a demand for other less known coins that strictly encourage anonymity.

Still, the price is climbing and those with a plan that overlooks the halving in the first quarter are buying despite the dip or fomo or fud inherently speculated.
