I know the odds are against it but I can't help thinking maybe it might just pass.  I mean, bitcoin is going to happen anyway and the SEC, the governments can't really control that and they must know it.  But an ETF would give them the ability to control the big money that goes in and out of bitcoin even if they can't control bitcoin itself.  An ETF would open up a huge regulatable gateway to bitcoin, of which the government can play gatekeepers to their heart's content!  If the SEC sees it that way, I think it's in  Tongue

Blockchain is the latest business buzzword, despite most business people not having a clue what it is. The ETF might get approved simply because someone important heard its got something to do with blockchain.

We need a Blockchain ETF!  And an HTTP ETF!!  And an IOT ETF!  ETF all the things!
