Solid post. I might add that the seats on the NY Fed are occupied by some of the banks that loaded up on BTC before the CME released their futures. Essentially giving the central bank [of the US at least] the power to crush BTC in favor of a US Digital Fiat when they're ready.
I think they'll let it run for a bit more first though. I'm saying 25k-30k for now but we'll see.
Upvoted, followed and resteemed. Cheers!
