I think that the real reason Bitcoin and blockchain were created was so that the people could have real financial freedom. Yes, the governments will do what they have always done. The people have always had the power however we all need to come together and say NO MORE CONTROL over our lives. As long as the people use cryptos p2p and not government cryptos and exchangers then we will be in control. Remember that's why Bitcoin was created after 2008 crises.
At least, for the fact that we are even beginning to see institution trying to make a move into the space is actually a very good start and I believe that as time goes on, we will get to start seeing mainstream adoption sufficing.
A lot of people may be concentrating on the fact that this year has been a year of bloodbath for them rather than seeing the opportunities that lay around them, but one thing I know is that in the crypto world in general, a lot of development has happened this year in terms of real adoption and only those who can see that will know this is actually the time to start taking advantage of the dips.
