The Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF seeks to purchase enough Bitcoin futures contracts that the notional value of the Bitcoin within the contracts held by the fund are as close to 100% of the fund’s net assets as possible. This distinguishes Valkyrie from the other proposed funds, all of which plan on investing in other investment vehicles and products that provide exposure to Bitcoin, such as private trusts.

citing “a significantly more challenging operating environment and greater compliance requirements.”

I wonder if people outside of El Salvador in Mexico or Nicaragua would also benefit from downloading and using the Chivo wallet? Congrats to the Salvadorans... they deserve a break

Vladimir Putin Says Bitcoin Can Be Used As A "Currency" today in a news conference. Obviously he sees this as an opportunity to evade the useless sanctions and EU banks etc... And in the even bigger picture.... he sees this as a replacement of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. He would like to see his oil one day sold for a currency other than the US dollar. Meanwhile the USA is now the number 1 miner of Bitcoin with industries being formed in many states. The US is using the ace card up its sleeve that it can use once... which is to print endless amounts of $ to "keep things going".... Never before has there been an alternative…

Google negative yielding sovereign debts market cap. USD 18 TRILLION https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-11/world-s-negative-yield-debt-pile-at-18-trillion-for-first-time I don't think anyone has ever said "only". But can you give even a single good reason to purchase a negative-yield sovereign bond? The only reason I can think of is a bad reason -- that your banking license will be yanked if your bank doesn't act like a good little chartered institution and enable the government's debt auctions.

Scripture does not discuss his stature; just that he was a ‘mighty hunter before the Lord’. (Some speculate that he was hunting people, not animals.) Genesis 10 .......8 Cush was the father c of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in d Shinar. e 11 From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, f Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.

Today, snakes still have ‘vestigial legs’…. more evidence it really happened.

I've been thinking of the red light, green light game that the central banks play with us regarding $ and investments. Have you noticed any others? Or maybe a moral of the story?

This is good for the environment AND will save a few lives in the process. This might not be good news for gold mines somewhere in Nicaragua however. I don't expect this to happen overnight though.

Tsunami waves crushed and buried everything. The minerals in the mud seeped into the tissues of the plants and animals and fossilized them. The Great Flood is the only reason why fossils exist. You don’t think this tree grew through ‘billions of years of rock’ do you? The sediment compressed under billions of tons of water, solidified and became stone.

This is the ancient Chinese word for 'boat’. The number 8 is for the 8 people that were on the ark. Stories about the flood have been found in every every ancient culture around the world Anyone have any other examples?

According to the Bible there were no carnivores before the flood and animals did not fear us.

What do you think of this statement? "Hyper-oxygenated air; the world was like a hyperbaric chamber, everything lived longer because of the air quality. We know this because we have air samples from before the flood; extracted from bubbles trapped in fossilized sap (amber). Adam lived until he was 930. Noah was 600 when he built the Ark" She is suggesting that we lived so much longer due to the heightened levels of oxygen available during the Pre-flood era. Later it was said that this oxygen bound to hydrogen to create the oceans of water around us.

Eve was not astounded that a serpent was talking to her, and she talked back to it.
