The ETFs were inevitable. Wall Street are the epitome of “in it for themselves” and it became too clear that there was huge money to be made here so they wanted in, and they always get what they want.

From Bitcoins perspective, think of the ETFs as a way to more efficiently dump fuel on the fire. A pipeline for capital which is going to send the price this cycle in an unprecedented way that can’t simply be switched off by Gov as they’re doing for retail on-ramps which are a garden hose in comparison.

My concern isn’t the ETFs centralising Bitcoin the network, or it’s consensus. My concern is this is the sovereign game theory starting in earnest and nobody is talking about that.

They’re on track to have 10%+ of coins by the end of the year - that’s a gigantic honeypot for the USGov to 6102 and possibly use to repeg the dollar to Bitcoin rather than gold. Luke Gromen is the only person who has articulated how/why, watch 5 minutes of this: nostr:note1ca3k9r6akrp847jmx9zxa8d3lcu4tv369qyjtw0r4evy5huaktrq44myvl

THAT would be a problem. That’s hyperbitcoinisation in a way that we DO NOT want. They would be using our sound money in the fiat system, no table overthrow or reset - just fiat games which Bitcoiners will have to deal with.

The upside here is that, Wall Street and the USGov have never played this game. They’re on our turf and it is completely alien to them. They’ve never had to deal with meatbags custodying Trillions in wealth behind a few keys, nor a whole bunch of now rich anarchist types who want to smash their system and have money to fund their schemes..

This is where Bitcoiners get to go on offence. If they hold 70% of the corn when it hits $1 Million+ then we have a well funded army to go out and recruit more people through that positive vision, to grow the network rapidly, to demonstrate a better way.

Don’t sell corn to Larry Fink - prepare for shit to get real.

Pegging the dollar to bitcoin? I could see this working in the short-term because we still use paper money else there is no real advantage I can see. Let me watch this vdo and see if it can open my mind.

No, there is a massive advantage - it stops BRICS and keeps USD on life support as a global reserve.

Every nation in the USD trading sphere will want the limited amount of corn because they can’t print USD and will need it for international trade and/or fiat sovereign bonds.

When you say the currency would be pegged to bitcoin, the currency would also be pegged to other assets and performance too? Then I could understand, else it would be a one-to-one relation with bitcoin like it once was like with gold. It worked with gold because fiat is easier to carry and divide.
