"It is like the greatest performing financial asset during that time, and regulators - particularly the SEC in the US - prevented normal retail individuals from buying it with their equity portfolios,"

"I can understand the SEC not approving something a year into it being new, but we're into year 15 and millions percent of appreciation happened and that was all precluded from anyone other than the radicals who went out past the normal equity systems and did the work themselves."

Bars.

Sigh. If you guys think the US / SEC is bad with this sort of thing, the UK's regulation will make you want to blow your brains out.

Voorhees is a really strange one - really gets Bitcoin and when he discussed it there's usually deep knowledge backing his comments. Yet completely unable to avoid the incentives of shitcoining.

Calm down Erik. People got a chance to front run the institutions. While the SEC circle jerked I hodled. No 401k plan is going to add a Bitcoin ETF anyway because it’s considered high risk and would fail most governance boards’ fiduciary responsibilities. 401ks are where the majority of average people invest.

Go outside and scream at the sun because it’s hot.
