Today is likely the last day of the pre-ETF era. For 15 years, we've been studying Bitcoin, stacking sats, and orange pilling those around us. Some of us got here earlier than others, but we all have one thing in common: we found #Bitcoin before the suits. As the world shifts its focus to Bitcoin, remember why you're here. Remember the core values that brought you to Bitcoin. Remember why Bitcoin gives you hope for a better world. Many are worried that a Bitcoin ETF will be bad for Bitcoin, or worse: kill it. But if there's one thing I've learned since I started studying Bitcoin, it's that it can't be stopped. The beauty of Bitcoin is that it's permissionless. You don't have to ask for permission to access your money. You don't need a bank or a middleman to scam you with fees. But it works the other way too. Because Bitcoin is permissionless, Blackrock doesn't need permission to use it. Even if they're using it in a way that removes all the freedom benefits and tacks on an annual fee. In the post-ETF era, many more people will begin to use Bitcoin. Maybe they'll see a nostr:npub1kns8r25ppwc2vpsv5cvhlpk94nfad76k64pkdzfnn704th2hmcksgq3582 sign in public. Maybe they'll go to a meetup near you. But no matter how they find Bitcoin, they don't need permission to use it. It has been a pleasure frontrunning the suits with every single one of you. They may expect us to sell when they pump the price. But there's one thing they don't know that we do: Bitcoin is better money. We're not here to gain more fiat. We're here to build a better world. ONWARD!
What wild timing 😂 was not expecting this today

Me too! I think some will just to avoid the annual ETF fee.
lol how are transaction fees broken? Because you don't like the contents of valid transactions that others are sending? That is the definition of permissionless.

Nicely said 🧡
If something as simple as a government could "throw away" Bitcoin, they would have done it a long time ago. Buckle up my friend 😄
