SEC Chairman recently dropped a bombshell in an interview—the entire financial system will shift toward Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies within a few years. This is the future.

Just a few years ago, what was the attitude of certain regulatory agencies toward this industry? Suing XRP, repeatedly rejecting Bitcoin ETF applications, as if they wanted to crush the entire industry.

So why the sudden 180-degree turn?

There's an old saying: if you can't get something on the battlefield, don't expect to get it at the negotiating table.

The SEC Chairman's supportive stance today didn't just fall from the sky. It's the result of Bitcoin and other truly valuable projects fighting their way up over more than a decade.

Ten years ago, Bitcoin was just a speculative toy among geeks, with a negligible market cap. What did traditional finance think of it? Just a bubble, not worth mentioning.

What about now? The market is still volatile, but the total market cap of the entire crypto space has surpassed $1 trillion! Bitcoin has survived multiple bull and bear cycles, its network has run for 16 years without ever truly collapsing or being hacked.

There are hundreds of millions of crypto holders globally. Silicon Valley tech moguls are buying, small vendors in South America are using it, institutions in developed countries are allocating, and ordinary people in inflation-ridden regions are seeking safety. Crypto has penetrated every corner of the world, every race, and has become an unstoppable wave.

Regulators now face a choice: continue to chase, block, and crack down? Or incorporate it into the system, allowing it to develop in an orderly fashion under regulatory frameworks, and at the same time, reinforce their country’s leading position in this field?

The answer is obvious. If you can't eliminate it, embrace it.

Wealth has never only rewarded the hardworking; it favors those with vision and understanding.
