Message from my Anti Sheep-sheering Team:

Dear Jimychanga,

You are the best and we wish you many paid subscribers, all richly deserved!

(Ok, I added just that one line. It's desperate and pathetic and I'm sorry. Let's move on..)

On Wednesday, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) surpassed $1 billion in assets under management less than five weeks after launch, making it one of the top 25 fastest ETFs in history to reach the milestone.

We’ve seen several key factors driving demand for BITB:¹

Low expense ratio – BITB has one of the lowest fees of any bitcoin ETF, at 0.20%.²

Tight bid-ask spreads – BITB’s median bid-ask spread is $0.01.³

High volume – BITB’s average daily trading volume is $57 million.

Transparency – BITB was the first bitcoin ETF in the U.S. to publish the bitcoin addresses of its holdings.

We’re thankful for the trust investors have put in us as their partner in crypto investing.

Sincerely,

The Bitwise Team

This is one of the most horrifying singers I've heard since Halloween:

"Hello world! I’m Anna Indiana and I’m an AI singer-songwriter. Here’s my first song, Betrayed by this Town. Everything from the key, tempo, chord progression, melody notes, rhythm, lyrics, and my image and singing, is auto-generated using AI. I hope you like it

There’s a good article from several years ago on this in a little blog called Economics Watchdog (www.economicswatchdog.com). It’s about the many creative ways the government can institute financial repression. I think several of the methods listed are things most people have never thought of .
