lol i was going to say same thing, but seriously if this relaxes the prop trading at larger firms, and they decide to invest in bitcoin, bitcoin will go up. now, whether of not this portion does that, i don't know.

People really need to stop predicting market prices on internet forums. You have no hope of being right better than chance. Bitcoin is liquid enough that any news about law changes will have been incorporated into the price before you hear about it on Hacker News. If you actually believed yourself, you'd be betting money on it, not telling everyone. That shows that you don't believe what you're saying, so it's wrong to try to persuade other people. Wait till you got rich being right more than you were wrong, then tell people about it.
