My Opinion...

If you don't understand, what is happening, let me give you some insight. Cryptocurrencies have been essentially the wild west gold rush for the last ten years. Big business has realised the potential of cryptocurrencies, however, they needed time to establish the strategies for an institutional takeover as the technology was not developed by them. This is history repeating itself. All the large and wealthy investors will try to own majority shares of cryptocurrency hence what it was initially designed to solve will become ineffective. So what do you want to do? Best to buy in now before the access and the profits are gone.
