I’ve noticed the same.
The TAM for CT is larger with price, etf, saylor, macro talk because it can appeal to nocoiners. It also takes no little work to talk about price and regurgitate saylor talking points.
It’s quite sad that Bitcoin seems to be following that crowds lead and leaving the cypherpunks behind.
Even Adam Beck posts regularly about MSTR and does ETF spaces.
Excitement about MSTR is especially puzzling. I really don't get that.
If you have a self invested pension it's the best exposure to BTC but other than that it's for boomers.
I don't know what a self invested pension is. I hold Bitcoin because I want self custody of my money.
In the UK most workplaces are required to pay into a pension plan for employees so everyone has work place pensions that you cant touch until retirement. More savvy people transfer those funds into SIPPs so they can at least control what that money is invested in like MSTR etc.
It’s a UK pension pot that is self invested. MSTR is the only way you can use a tax efficient vehicle to invest in Bitcoin. ETF exposure is banned.
Direct exposure to Bitcoin is also made very difficult - it’s almost as if they don’t want you to own it - it’s for your own protection. 😉
