In the world where organization like BlackRock forced SEC to approve Bitcoin Spot ETFs and invests billions of dollars into it, I'd say that Bitcoin is a tool for saving. In the past, I was always encouraging people to actively spend their Bitcoin to keep the network active, popular and to increase the Bitcoin adoption because active Bitcoin network means that it will inspire lots of stores to accept Bitcoin payments. Since people prefer to hold and organizations like BlackRock wants to hold too, along with governments, today I think that we, people should hold Bitcoin as much as possible to sell to them expensively and to keep the power in our hands and not in hands of big corporations.
BlackRock is part of participants in Bitcoin Spot ETF application wave in 2023 but they are not a main factor for their first time ever approval for Bitcoin Spot ETFs from SEC. The main contributor is Grayscale with their lawsuit against SEC and they won it. This success of Grayscale signaled that SEC can not refuse Bitcoin Spot ETFs and they only tried to delay it but time was counting down especially after that lawsuit with Grayscale.
BlackRock would have not joined Bitcoin Spot ETF if there has not had such a won lawsuit from Grayscale. BlackRock deserved to be appreciated with with their participation and contribution for the approvals but Grayscale certainly are deserved to be recognized too.
