Government Manipulation of Bitcoin
- Governments may manipulate Bitcoin markets if they control a significant supply.
- This could involve influencing supply and demand against holders' interests due to lobbying or crises.
Risks of Bitcoin ETFs
- Be wary of Bitcoin ETFs due to the risk of nationalization and loss of your Bitcoin.
- Self-custody is crucial for true Bitcoin ownership; not your keys, not your coins.
DTCC Ownership
