now that Bitcoin is "just another investment", it's going to be evaluated along side all of the others, and it's going to need a story about why it's uniquely positioned to outperform other investment instruments that do the same thing.
The fact that ETFs exist doesn't change anything. Outsiders choosing to make bets on Bitcoin doesn't suddenly change what it is. Markets don't need a "
story".
Yes, but what actual value does blockchain serve?
Somehow I find it hard to believe you don't already know the answer to that.
nobody I've ever known personally who has invested in Bitcoin or other cryptos actually physically hold their own private keys.
Meet smarter people, then. I would say maybe you'll learn something, but you seem to enjoy performing a routine where you pretend not to understand these things.
