The ETF submitted by Winklevoss was denied, on many reasons related to low trading volumes compared to those required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It is interesting the negative comments by the Securities and Exchange Commission on Bitcoin because what it can improve to become a viable product for investments in the regulated markets.

Don’t really know what to think about this…
We could have middle-class-state-blocked money being liberated to kind of migrate to bitcoin. That’s the good part. Outsiders could have a chance to use their bloked savings in this.
In the other hand, bitcoins could be much more centralized than today, and supply would be increasily limited (reminds me Dash). Price would rise, but also, fragility of the whole system. One Nakamoto with 1MM is enough, in my opinion.
This ETF thing is not over. In the future there will be new attempts to dominate this. Let’s hope the size of bitcoin will be huge (like 10x of now) to absorve all of this.

The Commission basically described bitcoins “dwarf-size” and just expressed distaste generally.
It would have been neat to see the ETF approved because that means more kinds of funds will have the ability to trade in Bitcoin related instruments.
The commission declining does indeed protect against the centralization of Bitcoin. Imagine all the state actors now really have a vested interest in Bitcoin. At this time Bitcoin is the size of more than 80 countries, that’s a sign of its existence IMO.
ETF disapproval also could be a hamper on future altcoins demanding an ETF. It’s no big deal decentralizing away from these authorities of the old systems. Additionally, many comments were about the exchanges of Bitcoin with most liquidity being outside of the US indicates the difficulty to do business with Bitcoin in the US.

Is this going to affect us (the SEC owners with Omni wallets) in some way?

@dvnp check these posts
So USDT is about 45 million $$ running on Omni, not just marketcap… actual DOllars in a bank represented with the Omni coins. And the leader of that is nearby and ready to address any issues related to any hard fork situation. So we will be OK.

Price on Bitcoin has collapsed, I think that most of this situation is FUD with what is going on in Bitcoin.

The congestion on the Bitcoin network has subsided!! that’s such good news. Now transactions fees can normalize. Let’s hope that this lasts longer. It was a recent phenomenon and I believe that it could have been a manipulated event. Bitcoin has recovered from lows rather quickly.

Bitcoin continues its rally up. Prices at all time highs, and imo could reach $3,000 at some point in this year.

Do you think this could be the knee to the supposed bitcoin’s S-curve (Price/adoption x time)?
Interestingly the scalability discussion was forgotten… Yet no big buy volume or FOMO can be detected.

No doubt Bitcoin will continue to rise, we predicted exponential growth last summer, here it is, same as 4 years ago.
Next time, will we go to 10,000? 40,000?$
Doesn’t need FOMO for price to rise steadily at all.
