We all like to see a bull run for crypto market but neither I saw any thing being done to promote for it.
Look around more. There are more and more businesses accepting Bitcoin.
There are more and more nodes in the Lightning Network, although it's still experimental.
More and more names discuss about Bitcoin (yeah, some are against it too).
Even in the discussions with the replies im threads cryptocurrency is in bad image where many being victim of hack, scam and from.fraud users. But this type.of activity could not be stopped. Now, we are expecting ETF to be passed and regulate and stop this activity.
Regulation will not stop hacks.
Proper handling and (cold) storage of Bitcoin (and altcoins) will prevent hacks.
Regulation could, on the other hand, increase the integration of financial services (banks, stocks, whatever) with Bitcoin and could limit the scam ICOs (leaving room for the honest projects).
Ah, and ETF is not regulation. It's just allowing some more institutions speculate on Bitcoin price.
Also there are 2 types of ETFs and one type doesn't really help Bitcoin...
However, there is.no assurance that cryptocurrency will be regulated for we do not know the future.
Time will tell. I think that sooner or later, crypto
will get regulated.
Is there a future for cryptocurrency?
Yes, clearly. Just "a future" doesn't mean ATH every day.
