Gary Cohn, believed that the launch of bitcoin futures would have the impact of popping the bitcoin bubble. And it worked
Christopher Giancarlo, who left the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) at the end of his five-year term as chairman in April, told CoinDesk in an interview:
“One of the untold stories of the past few years is that the CFTC, the Treasury, the SEC and the [National Economic Council] director at the time, Gary Cohn, believed that the launch of bitcoin futures would have the impact of popping the bitcoin bubble. And it worked.”
I mentioned this for years now, the SEC and regulation story is setup to kill Bitcoin, nothing else.
Yes, it is sick
