Franklin Templeton just found a way to get bitcoin to people who'd never in their wildest dream would buy it.
Two ETFs registered on Nasdaq this week offering 95% big US stonks + 5% bitcoin.
Every dividend the stocks pay buys more BTC.
Boomers were always going to own bitcoin through an ETF without touching it. Now they don't even have to actively press buy because reinvesting dividends is a habit they've trusted their whole lives.
That's how you sell anything new:
Offer it with something people already like and let it ride.
Honestly genius.

Marc Andreessen's 2014 NYT oped, Why Bitcoin Matters.
If you haven't read it, suggest reading it.
It's still important to this day.
The Fed didn't announce its rate decisions until 1994.
Before that you had to work it out from what they did in the markets.
In 2011 they started doing press conferences, streamed live.
Bitcoin was two years old.
Now they get clipped and debated over on X before they're even announcing anything.
I think this type of authority only works best at a distance.
The minute people start arguing with it, ending up in replies, the authoritative position starts wearing down.
One thing I'm trying to improve every day is my ability to make sense of my changing reality.
When everything changes it's hard to shift PoV because it is in our nature to try to see the world as we feel it _should_ be.
