Spot

Since their launch last month, spot Bitcoin ETFs have garnered significant attention, with substantial inflows being observed. Nevertheless, during a podcast with Natalie Brunell on Sunday, February 18, market expert Jim Bianco dubbed Bitcoin ETFs as a “<a href="https://coingape.com/spot-bitcoin-etf-is-a-giant-mistake-market-expert-jim-bianco-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">giant mistake</a>.”

Bianco on the podcast stated that the only thing that Bitcoin ETFs have done is sucking Bitcoin into the current financial system. He added that spot Bitcoin ETFs take away the “Decentralized” nature from the asset class. In his message on X, on Sunday, Bianco <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/biancoresearch/status/1759291227466317956" target="_blank">noted</a>: 
<blockquote>
 “I love the idea of an alternative financial system, a way to store value, and a medium of exchange. But this alternative system has to be DECENTRALIZED! So, what am I? I’m a decentralization Maxi. A spot ETF is NOT, repeat not, decentralized! I’m a huge fan of BTC, ETF, and other DECENTRALIZED alternatives”.
</blockquote> 
“I’ve been a BTC Hodler for over seven years. I even held up my ledger to show how I own it and noted I’m not interested in buying a BTC ETF. It will be on my ledger if I add it to my position,” he added. 
He also added that the BTC price won’t be going to $1 million, as popularly suggested by PlanB and other analysts in the past.

Max Keiser criticizes Jim’s narrow perspective on Bitcoin ETFs, suggesting they don’t alter BTC’s trajectory. He dismisses Jim’s views as reflective of a conventional financial mindset, adorned with superficial BTC references, emphasizing the deeper implications at play. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 Jim’s short-sighted with his BTC ETF views: 
 The ETF’s don’t change the course BTC is on. It’s all good, Jimbo. 
 He’s thinking and talking entirely in a financial-legacy-mindset, with a few Bitcoin buzzwords thrown in.

Keiser asserts that BTC fundamentally transforms individuals rather than being subject to external influence. He also contends that Jim overestimates the significance of his opinion, asserting that Bitcoin’s trajectory remains unstoppable, as it disrupts the traditional relationship between money and the state. In Keiser’s view, Bitcoin ETFs have zero impact over this transformative process. 
Last week, the Bitcoin price surged past $52,000 and has been flirting around those levels with some volatility over the past weekend. At press time, BTC is trading 1.01% up at a price of $52,122 with a market cap of $1.023 trillion.
