In the past, BlackRock was a big critic of Bitcoin.
Larry Fink said, "Bitcoin just shows you how much demand for money laundering there is in the world. That's all it is."
And then suddenly, they magically understood it was a revolutionary technology and released a spot ETF on it!
Donβt you find that strange?

ETFs turn Bitcoin into a speculative product or a store of value!
This deviates from Satoshi Nakamoto's original utility, which is peer-to-peer payment system.
For those who think this is not possible because transaction fees are high or validation times are too long, there are Layer 2 solutions on Bitcoin that can resolve this!
The Lightning Network is a perfect example.

ETFs make Bitcoin more manipulable.
Did you know there are clauses allowing the Bitcoin ETF to be liquidated at any time?
All ETFs have this same clause. For any constraint (such as regulatory), all Bitcoin can be liquidated and ETF holders reimbursed in dollars.
Imagine the massive liquidation this could cause.

Anti-Bitcoin but not anti-Blockchain, hahaaa.
Last October, they launched a PRIVATE Blockchain called the Tokenized Collateral Network (TCN) to allow the use of assets as collateral.
And guess who is involved in one of the largest transactions on this network?
BlackRock, of course!

These are 17 goals set by the UN, including:
β’ Digital development with integrated wallets
β’ Development of health cards
β’ Creation of digital currencies
β’ Design of smart cities (15-minute cities)
β’ Development of blockchain technologies
BlackRock shares this vision with the UN and seems to be moving in this direction.

The first question you should ask yourself is, what are my goals?
For me, it's freedom and independence in payment systems but also in technology. Blockchain, as introduced with Bitcoin, allows all that.
But BlackRock, the government, etc., have opposite goals.
Do they want your freedom? Your independence? Of course not!
In that case, donβt make things easy for them, keep your Bitcoins, and be more wary of the future products they announce.
