Crypto exchanges not helping Bitcoin!

[emma.lee1890]

With all of these new exchanges popping up here there and everywhere, i am seeing a very common theme and it's one i don't like AT ALL and i feel it gives bitcoin/crypto a bad reputation in general. What am i talking about? Trading competitions! Where you can win XXX amount of whatever crypto for being the most active or hitting a certain limit. Don't get me wrong, i'm sure there are a few people out there who will do alright from these deals, but i imagine the vast majority end up losing in the short term or the long run.

For me, its targeting the wrong audience. It does absolutely nothing toward our hallowed "mass adoption" hopes, and its encouraging gambling all so that the said exchange can make a profit in fees! Yet we wonder why the SEC are so reluctant to give crypto its blessing! Roll Eyes



Whats your thoughts?

Basically, the decision goes down to the risk of market manipulation & fraud. The SEC can only approve ETFs designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative actions and practices.
