Looking back, without those few major policy cleanups from back then, there would be no subsequent release of ETFs; if the U.S. had not regained the discourse power, there would be no trend of viewing crypto assets as 'national reserves'.
Bitcoin reaching $100,000, each round of regulation has instead been a key piece of the puzzle. 😂
Without any one piece, the outcome would not be the same.
To some extent, everything is the best arrangement.
