It looks like it's very much up in the air as to whether it will be approved or not. That is, the SEC doesn't know, let alone the rest of us. They are giving it a serious look, which I view as long term bullish either way. It means that Bitcoin is growing up, and an ETF in one form or another will likely come to fruition soon. At the very least, the SEC seems to be trying to make it work, while still remaining careful. In fact, if they reject this one, it will probably be for a valid reason within the ETF itself, rather than due to any flippant or hostile attitudes toward Bitcoin. I've heard the case that the Winkle ETF may not properly handle the hard fork, so if something like that causes the SEC to balk, that's actually good for us.

I understand and agree with you, but I've my bets on the following : 1. The COIN ETF will be approved. 2. There will be no HF, either Segwit then a 2MB HF as been "agreed upon" in the HK meeting or we will use another scaling solution like Lumino.

Over the years, I always thought that if the UAE and areas like Dubai ever catch on to the benefits of Bitcoin, it will literally go to the moon. Those wealthy oil sheikhs have so much money they could buy up the bitcoin market within nanoseconds.

Welcome back to your thread Dave ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Let Bitcoin take over the world, this is our final destination. Over the years, I always thought that if the UAE and areas like Dubai ever catch on to the benefits of Bitcoin, it will literally go to the moon. Those wealthy oil sheikhs have so much money they could buy up the bitcoin market within nanoseconds. I was just thinking the same thing. What are they waiting for? Nice to see back my dear Torque and welcome our new bullish friend, Jofus, so nice to see you here between your bullish family. And who told you they are not buying, maybe they are buying in OTC markets ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
