Wall St will eventually create investment vehicles that'll allow regular folks to stick some money in without any sketchiness. That is where upswing territory may lie.
This.
Most regular investors aren't as impatient as the people on this forum who are ridiculously hype-driven & overly impulsive. I'm hoping there's a good amount of regular investors looking at Bitcoin, but with the ETF around the corner (relatively, most investors are investing for long-term compared to Bitcoin's lifespan), they're waiting for a "legit" investment vehicle that lets them expose their portfolio to Bitcoin.
