Thanks for sharing your thoughts Hive account@crypto.inferno. While I agree that 2019 will be the year of institutional investors, the means by which they will invest in this market is also a critical factor.

The SEC decision of denying Bitcoin ETFs might be beneficial for the crypto market as it will ultimately motivate banks to offer custodian services for Bitcoin to allow those eager institutional investors to securely purchase cryptocurrencies directly rather than via an index that merely tracks their price, as is the case with ETFs.

This way, the money will actually flow into the real crypto market and push prices up organically. My 2 cents.
