Government capturing #bitcoin through #ETF is a legitimate fear.

My response: we forget that we don’t know what the world will look like in 5, 10, 20+ years. We tend to project the current state of the world as we know it in to the future.

Bitcoin changes you, you don’t change bitcoin.

As more voters and politicians become bitcoiners this will lead to obvious changes; the biggest being the slow dissolution and defunding of government and its stranglehold over the individual.

Or it could be very fast. Gradually and then suddenly like an iceberg flipping as older leaders in every sector go off in to the sunset and younger generations take the wheel. (I believe it happens this way).

Keep moving forward and speaking up and taking self custody of your bitcoin. That is the real discovery. Make sure those around you are doing the same.

Traditionally we could really only vote with the ballot box (republic) or ammo box (civil war/revolution.)

Now we can vote with our voice (social media,) feet (moving jurisdictions,) and our wallet (#btc.)

Don’t let this opportunity go to waste through fear of the unknown. Chart the course yourself, the canvas in front of if is empty and waiting to be filled by those who are willing to stand.

The future is waiting for the 3%.

I appreciate the feedback a lot, thank you!

This looks comprehensive to me; but then again there's more here about bitcoin than I'll ever know. I don't see anything you've missed. I do have one question - that may or may not fit into your course - Do you see the major investment banks turning bitcoin into an ETF defiling Satoshi's original intent for bitcoin?

In my view it has, and it will soon turn bitcoin into another for-the-rich-only investment; and the ETF keeps it from ever becoming a replacement currency but rather an investment only.
