Increasing questions from clients and business interviews about spot #BitcoinETFs are forcing tradfi money managers and analysts to come out of the woodwork from whence they were previously hidden.

It’s amazing to watch and read the horribly uneducated and genuinely arrogant takes about #Bitcoin from those who were hoping to avoid the topic indefinitely.

Popular talking points:

“Tulips!”

“Rat poison!”

“Used by criminals!”

“Boils the ocean!”

“Wastes energy!”

“Tax evasion!”

“Not real money!”

“Anarchy!”

“Blockchain, not Bitcoin!”

“Sooo volatile!”

Every year the % of people on the planet who think those things goes down.

“Blockchain, not Bitcoin” is my favourite “I have no idea what I’m saying, but this makes me sound smart” remark.

The arrogance is what gets me.

Here you have financial "experts" who never even so much looked at #Bitcoin... and they speak horribly of it. Without a decent substantiated argument.

It's infuriating. It's an outrage.

The cognitive dissonance as they learn about Bitcoin's performance relative to their portfolio must make them very uncomfortable.

It is a strange feeling to know something at a deep level that 99% of humanity doesn't know. I like it, but it is something I am not used to.
