And you can largely thank the ETFs for that. At some point it’ll click that every wrapper pulling coins out of self-custody, no matter the marketing spin, drags down long-term price appreciation and kills volatility.
In 2022 they shook plebs out by nuking Bitcoin below the previous cycle’s ATH. This cycle they’ll shake even more by boring them to death with weak upside.
Only the stubborn will stick around, but if most of the supply ends up parked inside ETFs instead of in the hands of actual holders, the revolution is lost - like every revolution that gets financialized. I hope I’m wrong.

Sadly you are not wrong at all.
And that's exactly what's going to happen.
And alot of bitcoiners cheered for it over the last year...
If you can kill bitcoin simply by etfs buying it then there will never be sovereign money.
History so far is proof.
I don’t know the future, but the prospect of the ETFs never excited me for some reason, maybe because of the Abstract of the white paper. Satoshi left a warning right at the beginning.
How is Bitcoin dead? I still live on a Bitcoin standard. Still can pay anyone P2P without issues.
It’s not. And I don’t know the future.
