Being the contrarian that I am I believe that the meetings will end up being very positive for crypto. The G20 does not want to lose control over money so they will try to implement controls. We knew this was coming so I am surprised that everyone is freaking out.
I agree. The regulations and the aggressive actions of agencies like the SEC are part of the mainstreaming process. The upset it's causing has made for a bear market inside a long-term bull market whose driver is mainstreamization.
I'm on record as saying that 2018 will be the new 2014. If so, we'll be laughing about how panicky and pessimistic we were. :)
To misquote Nietzsche:
He who fights with banksters should look to it that he himself does not become a bankster. And if you gaze long into the mainstream, the mainstream also gazes into you.
The drive for regulation is the mainstream gazing into us.
