That’s what it sounds like. Like they are openly saying it’s just some paper that trades along with price action. It sounds like a totally losing product if other ETFs get approved where they actually hold Bitcoin. I’m starting to see visions of a 10x FTX forming.

Are they actually going to have Bitcoin, even at Coinbase, for the paper issuance after cash is received? Nothing like 3 layers of counterparty risk for an asset you could hold yourself.

So is BlackRock going to hold any #Bitcoin? I’m very confused about this arrangement.

#Bitcoin EOY price prediction?

Some people want the existing system to adapt to #Bitcoin. That in my opinion is completely infeasible and thus any attempt to lobby or persuade the existing parasite class is wasted effort (again imo).

Some disagree with me so I’m not going to actively shit on them or antagonise them for their efforts, afterall I’m on the same side as them opposed to the parasites who are the real enemy of both of us.

It’s ok to disagree on tactics, better to focus on where we do agree and can work together.

That’s why I’m supporting #DrainTheExchange - it wasn’t my idea but I think it’s overall positive and the right kind of action to take, others are free to disagree, but I’m not interested in asking for permission or appeasing tyrants so I’ll engage in my own things where I don’t need to do those things.

They don’t care in any sense of empathy, but the politicians are afraid of being seen as fools. If they are flooded with letters viciously against a bill or law, I guarantee you they think twice when they are casting their vote.

But no, in the grand scheme it does little to nothing. The only, tiny value is in slowing down the machine or sewing division into their power consensus.

If I am being honest, what bothers me most about the Nazi era of Germany is not the idea that a failed, homeless artist with a meth addiction would become a tyrannical, murderous dictator, but that the Nazis are represented as a fringe movement supported by fringe people.

This is an absolute lie.

And it is intentional.

Because the truth is even more disturbing. If we face the reality that the Nazi Party was main stream popular culture in Germany (and even in much of the west at the time), we have to face some very disturbing things about ourselves. If we cant blame it on a "fringe leader" with a "fringe group", then we have to ask ourselves, "could I become a Nazi if the conditions were right?"

So let me spoil it for you...

The answer is yes.

Statistically, chances are, you would have been one of the people out there waving a little Nazi flag yourself. And telling yourself, "just dont get involved, its none of your business" when you saw the injustice starting to manifest.

Have you ever noticed most of the photos of Nazis focus on Hitler, and NOT the massive adoring crowds? Have you ever wondered why? Its because we want to forget. It terrifies us. And it should.

So here are some photos of what things really looked like. Of how easy it is to get swept up in the movement. Think about it. Think how much easier your life would have been if you just went along with the crowd. And how much harder it would be to stand against it.

And if you think this post in unnecessary and melodramatic, perhaps you are unaware of where we are.
