So if ETFs are raking in huge volumes, why isn't the price higher? My take...
1. BlackRock buys spot bitcoin with new customer dollars. Customers receive ETF shitcoin in return (never redeemable for bitcoin, only government money). This has upward pressure on price.
2. At the same time, BlackRock could (and probably is) opening a short position, using customer bitcoin as collateral. This has equal and opposite price pressure to #1
3. A combination of #1 and #2 causes a soaking up of dollar demand via the ETF, while increasing open interest, and increasing the risk to BlackRock - because BlackRock is massive, and may have some secret access to printed $, the risk is manageable, while attacking Bitcoin, making NGU fail, and making bitcoin adoption seemingly boring. That could be their strategy.
Solution - accept that ETF demand does not contribute to bitcoin price or adoption, and expect some of that interest will be converted to genuine bitcoin buying. When we have nearly all the bitcoin in self custody, the ongoing spot demand will cause the spot price to decouple from ETF price. This will destroy them, but it means we have to be patient. Instead of expecting to see the price track up as we collect all the bitcoin, expect nothing to happen, then one day, expect everything to happen all at once.
Like a sponge that you add drops of water to, one at a time, the sponge collects all the drops, but then at some point, it begins to leak.
During this time when the sponge is collecting all the drops (ienwr buy all the bitcoin without seing price appreciate), the attackers are hoping our interest dwindles, we develop high time preference and sell/enjoy life, instead of fight in the revolution.
Stay strong…

What about photoshop etc? Any open source alternative?
What BusinessInsider has done is online rape.
They used the excuse of "fascism" to write a doxxing article, exploiting individual's private information for their profit.
I feel for my fellow developer nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6. It's absolutely unfair that you have to endure this.
The biggest accusations they could come up with is that fiatjaf "built at least two webpages devoted to disseminating the work of the far-right conspiracy theorist Olavo de Carvalho" and "said some things about Nazis".
90% of the article is just doxxing fiatjaf.
I encourage everyone to fight back on the "fascism" of Business Insider and report what they did as a completely unjustified violation of privacy.
