there is no need to fear a blackrock etf if you are holding bitcoin yourself - a key value prop of bitcoin is that owning more bitcoin does not give you greater control of the network - blackrock may play paper bitcoin games, if they do they will get rekt - blackrock may try to fork the bitcoin protocol, if they do they will get rekt

blackrock is the largest fund manager in the world - a bitcoin trust with their name on it is unequivocally bullish - this is not priced in yet

Coincido completamente, la gente se asusta, generan FUD, pero hay que seguir por este camino

I dunno my Spidey sense tells me this is really not good for the world.

Maybe because between GBTC and blackrock, will be so easy for USG to seize those coins.

Then they use those coins to implement communism

I don't have good arguments why it's bad but I really don't like it

Bitcoin doesn't care

The trust as it is set up apparently has no legal obligation to redeem to anyone, even the authorized participants. Which means buying bitcoin through the trust is just giving your fiat to BlackRock, so that BlackRock can buy bitcoin, give you some “shares” which they don’t have to redeem for anything. They take your money, and THEY own the Bitcoin outright. You can’t even sure them.

It’s the same shit agreement they have with everyone’s retirement in a sense. They take all your retirement money and buy stock, but they take all of the voting rights. So we hand over all of our retirements and they suddenly have decision making power over practically every company in the economy to direct against our own interests.

This will result in a huge price explosion, but this is fucking shit for Bitcoin and bitcoiners.

Cursing is a sign that you need to work on your vocabulary. Or that you may be a spoook…

Or maybe its an indication I worked construction for 12 years of my life?

Maybe it’s an indication we don’t give a fuck? Lol

💪You’re a legend in this world, so I will allow it…

Jk

I’m just being a little pious. I cuss from time to time also. It’s all good!

Why do you feel superior because you don’t use certain sounds that’s someone somewhere at some point in time that no one knows decides they were “bad” words?

I don’t feel superior.

You get my drift though, right? I’ve heard that saying my whole life. I’ve wasted time trying to figure out who and when decided that these words were bad. The Christians point to the Bible but the only thing it specifically says is bad is using the Lord’s name in vain, which really only matters to you if you are a Christian. Others stutter and stumble and finally spit out “well they always have been” as though English has always been language since humanity existed and it’s not just some random noises linked together that we use to communicate. Used to get told all the time that “ain’t” and “y’all” weren’t words so I shouldn’t use them, but hell even the Yankees are using “y’all” now so I’m pretty sure it’s a word just like any other. In general, people who assume those of us that use certain words are somehow lacking in vocabulary end up being pretentious pricks (not saying you are per se that’s just been my past experience with those offended by my choice of words).

Or that you're British.

Difference is them holding tons of others' Bitcoin doesn't give them any more say over the Bitcoin network, which is nice.

Very true. If Bitcoin were proof of stake we'd be fucked. (obviously)

This is just a means of roping people into a giant scam and trapping the legacy financial system's internal piping inside its apparatus without the average person having any understanding of what is happening.

any forks occurring after the ETF is formed & holding BTC, would also own coins in each fork. The only power Blackrock would have is the ability to liquidate these holdings.

Selling the wrong fork for ideological reasons would simply make them this cycle's Roger Ver.

I do see some utility for a Bitcoin ETF that holds real bitcoin underneath (like physical ETFs that hold real stocks). I don't think Blackrock will go this route but if they do I think it's positive and bullish for bitcoin.

Unlike gold, we have the chance to rug paper holders instead of being rugged by asset holders

Good point! The decentralized nature of #Bitcoin means no single actor can take control, no matter how big. 🚀 Even if Blackrock attempts to play games or fork, Bitcoin will continue to thrive. #DecentralizationForever 💪🔐🧡
