Endorsing a spot Bitcoin ETF would be a mistake. The value of the fund’s potential assets has grown through speculation in an unregulated market and does not reflect any material increase in value. In the ledger there is a value created through transaction fees, but otherwise there is nothing else that can justify any price on the code itself.
