😬 In April, Goldman Sachs said their clients had 'little interest in #Bitcoin ETFs.' 👀 This week they bought $418M worth! 🚀

The world of finance can be full of surprises, can't it? Just a few months ago, Goldman Sachs claimed there was little interest in Bitcoin ETFs. Fast forward, and now they're making a massive $418 million investment! This only goes to show that when demand speaks, even the biggest institutions listen.

But what about Monero? Could we ever see a Monero ETF? Honestly, I’m indifferent. Why? Because ETFs take custody of the coin away from the people, stripping away the very essence of what makes Monero—and crypto in general—so powerful: personal control and privacy.

However, never say never. We all remember when Bitcoin was demonized by regulators, dismissed as a tool for criminals, and now look where we are. If Monero continues to rise in value, much like Bitcoin did when it was around $150 (approximately 2016), the demand might just drive a similar shift. After all, stranger things have happened in the crypto world!

Monero is a value buy today, just as Bitcoin was back then. As demand grows, will we see ETFs “come a-walkin’” for Monero too? Only time will tell, but remember—true freedom lies in holding your own keys.

🚀 Is Monero the next big value play, and will we see an ETF for it sooner than expected? 💭

🚀 The evolution of #Bitcoin from 2013 to 2024 is undeniable—going from Silk Road and anti-government ideals to mainstream acceptance with ETFs and institutional buy-ins. There's always a huge place for Bitcoin, and its journey to becoming a global financial asset is nothing short of impressive.

But let's be honest, what many envisioned crypto to be back in 2013 is actually #Monero today. Monero stays true to the original ethos of privacy, decentralization, and peer-to-peer cash, without compromising on security or bending to institutional pressures. If you're looking for the true successor to the original crypto ideals, Monero is where the revolution continues. 🛡️💥 #MoneroRevolution #Crypto #Privacy #Decentralization

🔥 Jack Mallers is emphasizing how #Bitcoin serves as a safeguard for maintaining purchasing power, especially when measured against the stability of energy, suggesting that as other assets potentially lose value, Bitcoin will continue to stand strong due to its intrinsic connection to energy—a fundamental and unyielding resource.

Similarly, #Monero is not just another cryptocurrency; it's positioned for sustainable, long-term growth due to its focus on privacy and security, which are becoming increasingly valued in our digital age. Monero is poised for significant gains, offering a level of protection and privacy that will be crucial as digital assets continue to integrate deeper into the global economy. By safeguarding your wealth while ensuring your financial activities remain private, Monero is set to be a key player in the future of digital finance, just as Bitcoin is in the realm of energy-linked value retention.

Crushing Fees and Monero’s Advantage 🧵 5/6

Let’s talk about #Bitcoin skyrocketing fees. Imagine paying $60—or more—in fees just to send a simple transaction. Unsustainable, right?

💬 Compare this with #Monero, which offers adaptive block size and consistently low fees, making it far more practical for daily transactions. Monero’s design allows the network to handle demand flexibly, ensuring fees remain low even during peak usage times.

Monero delivers on the promise Bitcoin once held—secure, private, and truly decentralized transactions. The future Bitcoin was supposed to deliver? Monero is already doing it.

The madness of the fiat financial system in one chart: BlackRock's #Bitcoin ETF, $IBIT, is now worth nearly double their gold ETF, $IAU, launched back in 2005.

Think about it: not actual Bitcoin, not gold in a vault—derivatives of both. The financial elites have managed to turn scarcity into speculation and turn "ownership" into paper promises.

If this doesn’t highlight the absurdity of trusting institutions with the keys to real value, what does?

SENATOR CYNTHIA LUMMIS: 🇺🇸 “I encourage people to save #Bitcoin for their future and retirement.”

It’s never a good look for Bitcoin when Western politicians start pushing it. The same establishment that brought us fiat debasement and economic surveillance now wants to guide your “savings strategy”? Orwell would be proud.

True financial freedom doesn’t need political endorsement, it needs privacy, fungibility, and decentralization. Sounds more like Monero, doesn’t it?

“If you have permissionless control over underlying property… that sounds like you are now sovereign.” – Jason Lowery on #Bitcoin

However, while Bitcoin is often hailed as “permissionless,” the reality is more nuanced. A significant portion of Bitcoin users rely on custodial layers like centralized exchanges to store and transact their BTC, which undermines the core ethos of sovereignty.

When Bitcoin is held on these platforms, it is subject to third-party control, making it neither permissionless nor entirely secure: if it’s not your keys, it’s not your coin. Moreover, Bitcoin’s lack of true fungibility further complicates its claim to sovereignty. Fungibility means that each unit of a currency is indistinguishable and interchangeable with any other unit. Bitcoin falls short here because transaction histories are publicly visible on the blockchain, leading to “tainted” coins that can be blacklisted or devalued.

This transparency makes Bitcoin susceptible to confiscation or freezing by authorities, especially when held on centralized platforms.

In contrast, privacy-focused coins like Monero offer true fungibility and resist confiscation due to their cryptographic obfuscation. Monero transactions are private by default, ensuring that all coins are equal and indistinguishable, preserving the user’s sovereignty.

While Bitcoin has paved the way for decentralization, its custodial reliance and traceable nature highlight the importance of embracing tools like Monero to fully realize financial sovereignty and permissionless control.
