Bitcoin ETF Downsides
The discussion in the podcast revolves around the potential downsides of a Bitcoin ETF. One concern is that introducing an ETF would centralize ownership and give regulators more control over the Bitcoin community. This could lead to more centralization and regulation in a decentralized world. Another worry is that Bitcoin ETFs may primarily attract traders rather than long-term allocators. If most of the money flowing into these funds is from traders, it could result in more volatility and a closer-to-zero-sum game during market downturns.
