After the run up in 2013 the result was a lot of new people that are used to the old way of doing things and so they started trying to make Bitcoin fit in with the old systems "let's regulate it!" "why not use the underlying technology in banks?!?"
It reminds me of people leaving shitty Massachussets and moving to New Hampshire, then voting for taxes and big government programs that they had in Taxachussets. The reason it is a better place to live is because it doesn't have the shitty policies of your old state Massholes.
Same with Bitcoin. The reason it works is because it isn't the shitty old system. Don't try to force it into the old shitty ways of finance. If you want to help make the price rise, come up with new ideas and new technology to make use of this new system. Don't look to the government or banks for the answer.
I agree with this 100%, there hasn't been any need to dramatically change (or even slightly change Bitcoin) and the old stuff that we have is fine for what it was supposed to be.
The thing is people always leave something and try to find a better one and bring their same old shit along with them. Californians moving to Texas, Middle Eastern Migrants to European countries, same old stuff. Bitcoin is probably being spared to worst of it right now.
