Title: Bitcoin Without ETF
Post by: Ains_sama on August 11, 2018, 12:31:38 AM
NOTE : Questions from LAYMEN.

bitcoin is made without regulations, is decentralized, and controls everyone who has bitcoin. and in my opinion ETF is a rule that must be passed by Bitcoin. so will Bitcoin fail or die if the ETF disapproves of the bitcoin proposal? while Bitcoin has grown longer before going to ETF.

Tried, tested, blamed, still for a decade Bitcoin is going good (antifragile). Like the futures, ETF would be a much better opportunity for the rich bags with fiat to get into bitcoin. It would further establish Bitcoin as a mainstream financial asset when it's a peer-to-peer censorship resistant currency.

You did saw the hype futures brought in December. Something like that would happen have if SEC approves Bitcoin ETF, but temporary/artificial, maybe again some FOMOs would get burned.

Bottom line, why a decentralized network worry about its survival if a centralized proposal is approved or not.

I feel like all the ETF talk is very recent.  It feels like a rouse to me.  Bitcoin was just fine and now without the ETF were done for?  Makes no sense.  Makes get the sneaking suspicion I should be investing heavily because this feels bunk.

yes Sir, I'm a beginner in the world of bitcoin. and was very surprised to see from last December to the present. because most of the Bitcoin prices are like the SEC's control in the past few months. and I understand a little, why Bitcoin is so unstable at this time. and why BITCOIN is very worried about the SEC.

The ETF will certainly endorse the Bitcoin proposal, which is the development trend of the encryption industry, and we need not worry too much about ETF.

I think differently. I see the ETF as a shark's way to dive and gather lots of Bitcoins. Nothing can stop Bitcoin prices in the future and this is just a small step backwards

The money now is different than the money a year ago. People care about mainstream adoption and whether or not the ETF will pass or not. I think the market is very speculative right now, so the news of an ETF just feeds into that. Will it pass or not? I have no idea.

I think 2 years from now no one will care one way or another about the ETF decision and all the drama it has caused.  People are fearful right now and the ETF decision seems to have put them over the edge.

ETFs have only a few supplements that will increase the price of BTC
actually, the price of BTC will explode in 2021, where everyone will not be able to mining BTC again, and the total supply for BTC will be truly limited
the only way to get BTC is by buying it

ETF is not as good as people think it is simply because it centralizes things for investors. when someone invests in ETF they are not buying bitcoin really. what they are buying is a promise because they are not holding real bitcoins in their own wallets with them holding the private keys.

in the end ETF will only be a hype and even if it is approved it will only be used by certain people who may eventually end up buying bitcoin itself and dumping ETF.


Title: Re: Bitcoin Without ETF

Bitcoin does not need an ETF. It won't affect Bitcoin's utility to any extent whatsoever, in fact. The reason people are clamoring for it is because it represents money going into the market, which in turn may lead to better adoption. Bitcoin's been stuck in a bear market for a while now so people are looking for something to jump start another bull run. Considering its recent surge to 8k amidst ETF speculation, it certainly looks like an approval could strongly contribute towards that end.

Not having an ETF wouldn't mean the end of the world though. I see it more as a way to accelerate growth more than anything else. We'll have to rely on organic growth instead, which may be much better for the community in the long run.

bitcoin without ETF would have been worth about $9000 now since that was the trend before the ETF news started coming out and based on previous recoveries that we had we could have been testing the $10k resistance as we speak. but the ETF news disturbed all that and created a temporary state in the market where the uncertainty is dominant among investors which is why the current drop is happening and why everyone has been waiting around for it to conclude before jumping back in and start buying back again.

yes, I'm thinking of that position. when the bitcoin proposal is approved by the ETF. everything will be very good and prices bounce back. but I'm thinking in another direction. what if the ETF rejects the bitcoin proposal. whether it is the end of bitcoin or bitcoin is still fine. even being very good?

so actually ETF is not a barrier for Bitcoin as the best digital asset. although several times the ETF and SEC scenarios disrupt bitcoin and make prices very unstable. so some bitcoin holders are very afraid that it isn't approved. even I myself have that fear.

part of that fear is rational if you are a trader because ETF is a news that traders are watching and then acting based on which way it goes. so if it goes in the way they want they would speculate a rise and start buying so price can go up and if it doesn't they  would speculate a drop and start selling. so as a trader you want to keep your eyes on the news and the price to make the most profit in this short term swing.

but if you are an investors or ... then you should not even care about this because it is a short term drama with a short term and small effects, specially the negative effects will be short and small and will go away soon enough after the date.

Yet for bitcoin's long run, it has had no impact. :P

Ditto.

In 10 years from now, probably bitcoin would still stand. If there is cash, there is business, and these attract new fintech implementations in various industries.
Literally if bitcoin was the lider between currencies, because of the technology, nothing would stop new frontiers to be reached, as ETF and so.

Bitcoin ETF does not appeal to me.

Bitcoin ETF  (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/etf.asp) is currently in news as SEC recently rejected Winklevoss twin Bitcoin ETF  (https://www.coindesk.com/winklevoss-brothers-bitcoin-etf-rejected-by-sec-for-second-time/) and   fate of 9 others ETF will be decided in next 2 month  (https://www.coindesk.com/the-sec-will-decide-on-9-bitcoin-etfs-in-the-next-2-months/).

Whatever the SEC decide on it in future will be interesting to follow.  It will be worth nothing that Bitcoin ETF will be treating Bitcoin as an asset not as a currency. As per fundamental of ETF , Bitcoin ETF will simply means that Bitcoin will be locked as an asset and ETF will be traded in exchange.
 
Why Bitcoin ETF should not make appeal to the Bitcoin community.

1. Treating currency as an asset to trade in exchange.
2. For ETF, Bitcoin need to kept  secured, means ETF will remove that amount of Bitcoin to be available for active transaction.
3. Bitcoin can be easily purchased and sold so it is not that Bitcoin ETF is making bitcoin more available to masses.
4. ETF do not gurantee that it will solve the Bitcoin price volatility problem.
5. ETF might give rise to "HODL" mentality that is not good for Bitcoin. (I will explain it sometime later.)

ETF will help Institutional Investors or other organization to invest in Bitcoin but Bitcoin is meant for P2P transaction and Satoshi did not created it to be used as Investment product.

I think bitcoin will still survive and rise again even if without the ETF as bitcoin already exist and got the attention of the people without ETF. For me, this will just create hype on the bitcoin which is not necessary. Is it coincidence that the price of bitcoin fall down the bottom while waiting for the approval of ETF? or maybe this is just a manipulation.

The answer is no, Bitcoin won't face any such consequences due to the approval of ETF. It is true that Bitcoin ETF will be more centralized than what we have experienced from BTC so far. But, that would be only beneficial for BTC in the long run since ETF will be backed up by BTC and it due to its centralized nature, big investors will be interest in BTC because there will be no chance of facing scams our unfair activities.

Bitcoins having the dominance more than 50% without the ETF approval proves that BTC stands whether its ETF gets approval or not. But that is true, if ETF gets approval, BTC will get a positive hype causing 70% of dominance over the market. That will make BTC higher in price than the present it has.

ETF cannot cause any harm to Bitcoin rather it will be backed by Bitcoin. Though it is not related with the growth of Bitcoin in any possible way but the hype circulating around the approval of Bitcoin ETF might cause another synthetic rise to the price which would later face consolidation again.

Without the ETF, the price of BTC would have been a lot, $10,000 at least. But the recent news about the ETF has done a lot of damage to BTC sadly. Let's see what lies ahead now.

*Source needed*. You can't blame everything on the ETF. The ETF isn't the be all and end all of bitcoin and bitcoin is bigger than that, but maybe people shouldn't get excited about something that may never come. Besides, even if it does ever get the go ahead I don't think it will be that huge. Sure, people will get excited about it and the price will rally but it'll probably come crashing back down again once the excitement is over.

I believe you're right here. The decision to postpone ETF approval came right when BTC was at the turning point, close to the 200 day EMA. THat decision basically discouraged people from buying. As a result BTC got rejected from the bearish resistance and started falling what panic sellers used to dump everything and take us back to where we are. Without the news about ETFs we wouldn't have the recent rally, but we wouldn't have the crash either. It's better not to have a rally at all than a failed one.

ETF is just a surplus. Bitcoin doesn't need ETF approvation, but surely if it happens, we could see something never happened before in terms of price, speculations and gains.
last year's gains would be nothing compared to next years if btc etf will be approved.
Said that, we will see gains also without etf.

In my opinion Bitcoin ETFs will just increase volatility. Now, you have hedge fund managers dumping large amounts of fiat or even coins onto the Bitcoin market and this will cause bigger spikes and dips. Many people and merchants wants lower volatility, without having to use payment processors to use bitcoins for payment and higher volatility will destroy the use case for a payment network.

You cannot buy something directly with Bitcoin and wait 10 minutes for a confirmation and then have a drop in price of 10% in that 10 minute confirmation period.  ::)

Bitcoin will probably never be stable so forget about that. Something tells me it's only one type of volatility you don't like and probably don't mind when the value rises? This is how bitcoin was designed to be and your money should gain value over time, but due to the nature of supply and demand this means bitcoin is currently going to go up and down with the markets. I'd look at bitcoin more like having stocks in a company or as a digital version of gold and as such your investment will rise and fall with the performance of the company or 'digital gold' markets..

Let's all go back when the ETF proposals were not presented yet. Bitcoin was doing great as is. Bitcoin has stood many critics for many years already and is still being hone  to overcome new obstacles. Bitcoin doesn't really need the ETF. The ETF proposals ignited a commotion in the cryptocurrency community as if it is badly needed. Yes, ETF will do Bitcoin better and will produce new speculations and increase in price. Though this has caused the community to depend on ETF for Bitcoin to actually go on, which is really bad.

It's only a matter of time.

ETF would have been a boost, but if you look at emerging countries facing inflation (and sometimes hyperinflation), people are turning to cryptocurrencies to protect their savings.

This will be beneficial to bitcoin price on the middle and long term.

If it's speculation then people shouldn't speak so matter of factly. There's no way anyone can say it will have been x amount by a mere decision. And the market always acts irrationally.

Bitcoin was grown by the community. It will continue to be grown and developed by the community.

ETF and Bitcoin not compatible at all. It was a bit strange trying to convince government and corporations to adopt Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is meant to be Peer to Peer. We could encourage p2p businesses if the large businesses and government deny us access to their Markets

And this is probably what will happen as I can't see them accepting it. Hopefully bitcoin will have climbed back up a bit naturally since then so it has a bit of a buffer as a bit of a safety net for whenever it does fall.

Nobody is saying bitcoin will cease to exist without the ETF, but without good news or things to get excited about bitcoin will stagnate or fall in value like it did on the mere decision to postpone the announcement. What do you think will happen to bitcoin if they come out and flat out deny it? It isn't going to be good.

Do you suppose that the price of Bitcoin will fall if the ETF will be rejected by the SEC this September? It seems that almost all the altcoins has been already exchanged to Bitcoin, but BTC is still on the levels of $6200. I guess that the investors will try to keep the capitalization of Bitcoin above 100 billion US dollars in order to BTC looks respectable for ETF approving.

Bitcoin is not gonna fail or die no matter ETF is approved or not. ETF has come to the crypto world recently and has created a buzz but even when ETF was not around BTC was successfully gaining new peaks. So do not worry about the ETF and wait for the bottoms and peaks to make your trades and get profits in the long term and if you are a short term trader then look for crypto news and plan your trades accordingly as market behaves on news around the world.

The proposed Bitcoin ETF fund will result in the actual purchase and sale of Bitcoin. This means that anyone with a brokerage account will be able to buy and sell Bitcoin indirectly through the ETF. It will have a big impact on supply and demand, and then on price.

bitcoin is made without regulations, is decentralized, and controls everyone who has bitcoin. and in my opinion ETF is a rule that must be passed by Bitcoin. so will Bitcoin fail or die if the ETF disapproves of the bitcoin proposal? while Bitcoin has grown longer before going to ETF.
bitcoin will still live without etf, it will not be easy to kill bitcoin in any case. so I think etf will approve bitcoin or not it doesn't have a big effect on bitcoin because bitcoin will continue to run.

I thought that ETF would increase bitcoin's rate by 1.5-2 times, as it will open the way for big money. last year, the growth was provided by housewives (I exaggerate, ordinary people).

I’m about to say this, we survive the past trials without this thing so called ETF. I think bitcoin can still survive because we already made a good run without this.

Tried, tested, blamed, still for a decade Bitcoin is going good (antifragile). Like the futures, ETF would be a much better opportunity for the rich bags with fiat to get into bitcoin. It would further establish Bitcoin as a mainstream financial asset when it's a peer-to-peer censorship resistant currency.

You did saw the hype futures brought in December. Something like that would happen have if SEC approves Bitcoin ETF, but temporary/artificial, maybe again some FOMOs would get burned.

Bottom line, why a decentralized network worry about its survival if a centralized proposal is approved or not.

Exactly, it makes no bloody difference whether there is an ETF, EFT, or FTE. The only thing that matters is that bitcoin has shown that it is robust against all of these difficulties and has a valid concept that holds up. There doesn't need to be institutional investment, although it can help for a short term boost. It would be nice to have a little pump up again, but it will still continue to gain in value regardless.

There's too much obsession with these investing tools. It's better just to observe bitcoin for what it is and use it to the best of its ability without interference from centralized investment schemes.

Right now if you want to buy Bitcoins, you mostly have to buy Bitcoins. Presumably a lot of people who want to buy Bitcoins want to buy Bitcoins, but a lot of people don’t. If the ETF is big and popular, then market makers will arbitrage it, and it will drive demand, and Bitcoin will be harder to manipulate just because there will be more volume coming from real economic demand.

I believe that bitcoin can exist without ETFs, for example, if they make a system of vouchers or prepaid cards. For example, you buy a card in the store with a face value of $ 100 go to your wallet and at the exchange rate at the moment you converted the amount into a cryptomonet at the rate of $ 100 / for example Ethereum costs $ 300 , and you have replenished by 100, then you will have 0.33 coins ETH/

I`m from Serbia, South Europe, so what SEC and their approval have with me? It can affect the price of bitcoin, they can boost usage in US, that will affect the demand. US bitcoin companies will be able to operate legally, they will spread bitcoin businesses, that`s all good, but for US citizens mostly, for all others raised demand is good because that can push price up. As one of the advanced countries with huge economy, adopting bitcoin can be great for all bitcoin owners, and I`m sure they will adopt it sooner or later, if not this year next one for sure.

That's got to be from the futures contracts. As soon as they introduced those, half the investing world took short positions on the coin. And then it started to falter...

I think that all of these investment tools are just going to cause more headaches for bitcoin users. Especially if they want to start using a fractional reserve system and start borrowing against the coin for commerce. Bitcoin needs to have a decentralized system of exchange, and all of these other things are not going to help to keep that decentralization.

Before the whole ETF and SEC situation, hasn't Bitcoin survived and done well in the Cryproworld? So I see nothing really special about the ETF and SEC regulations of a thing.

I think ETF debate has been one of the things that has prevented price from rallying this year, wants to drag us back into the "Trust Government" mess.

I think that if bitcoin without ETF might be a bad impact on bitcoin itself because ETFs are the most important part that has been integrated into bitcoin and hope that bitcoin will be even more popular if there is an ETF

In my opinion. bitcoin will remain and continue to grow even without ETFs. ETF is the latest innovation with the aim of giving options to investors so that more variety of assets can be traded. so, ETF will not affect bitcoin because bitcoin has existed for a long time in the stock market and has been able to survive until now.

bitcoin will still be bitcoin with or without etf . if you are worrying about the price , then worry no more .the price isnt only dependent on the etf or any other organizations because the price of bitcoin and any other cryptos are only based on the people , most especially from the whales because whales are more powerful than any other average joe .

speaking of etf , why this issue hasnt been resovled yet ? if im not mistaken its been already a year ever since i first see an etf disccusion but until now , people are still debating about it. hmmm ???

in a state of bitcoin market that is down, without the bitcoin ETF it will be difficult to reach the highest price. Because of what? the price of bitcoin which is now included in the expensive category, and added to the market down, and there is no guarantee that it will rise in the near or long time, so that people will hesitate. with the existence of ETFs, people can invest in bitcoin with these facilities that allow them to get loans on the bitcoin exchange.

i can only say that a disapproval from ETF will only shake bitcoin and cryptocurrency generally because its going to create a very strong FUD which will make people to panic sell. but after a while, it will pick up gradually as this might take a while.

I agree. Without anything bitcoin survive for existence and developing well. Also not only ETF is the competitor of bitcoin now but many more in the market. Many things to compare but still bitcoin will remain on its place where it be. ETF could not affect bitcoin because it stand without ETF for a long time in the market. You should not be affect for not having ETF, mind the most potential coin.

bitcoin will not die with received ETFs or not, which causes Bitcoin to fall now due to massive sales, because investors panic and sell their assets for fear of rejection of ETF will make bitcoin increasingly fall and die, so investors panic and large-scale sales making bitcoin now fall is not due to rejection of ETF.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) will open a wide range of investment opportunities directly into Bitcoin without the need to actually hold it, just like in futures. So, SEC's decision is obviously going to affect rich guys' hopes about an ETF being approved or not, but we, the small investors must not worry or even think about it. And FYI, always remember this - Buy the tumors, sell the facts. Even if ETF gets approved, mark it that BTC will fall before rising to a new ATH just to wipe out paper hands.
