BTC ETF

  • After an embarrassing snafu with the SEC Twitter account, BTC ETF products go live
  • Institutional is well & truly here
  • Bullish for all of crypto, adds legitimacy in the eyes of the nocoiners
  • 11 funds are live, although there was drama about some funds refusing to serve clients
    • Blackrock 226 > 2620 BTC ($120 mil)
  • Now this is live, will talk return to spreading p2p adoption? Unlikely.
  • Wen BCH ETF?

CTV

  • BIP 119, Check Template Verify
  • Adds “Covenants” aka more sophisticated restrictions on how coins can be spent (beyond single sig, multisig, timelocks)
  • Proposed initially by Jeremy Rubin in Jan 2020, after significant pushback decided to withdraw from active Bitcoin dev (excommunicated?)
    • The idea continued to gain momentum though regardless, is this consensus forming?

CTV Soft Fork?

  • No client released yet?
  • Jeremy Rubin has explained CTV as separating “sending” from “receiving”. Sending is time-sensitive (need to get confs etc.) but receiving may not be (for cold storage, or between exchanges etc.). Isn’t this just can kicking which doesn’t solve the problem?
  • What if a soft-fork is unachievable & existing gatekeeper control is too strong? What’s next?
  • Eric Wall telling Ordisrespectors / Ocean

to fork off, is it tenable for BTC to

satisfy everyone?

Other Upgrade Proposals?

  • What about these other alternatives?
    • APO
    • OP_CAT
    • TX_HASH
    • CSFS
    • OP_VAULT
    • Drivechains
    • BitVM
  • Are any of them likely to make it?
  • Would you consider any instead of or after a future CTV upgrade?

That's called obsession

It's something that you live

The only single thing that matters

After your wife and your kids

​

Cos if you can't learn to float

Then you sink or you swim
