 Wrong. They already started printing paper BTC and shorting the underlying. You are underestimating these assholes 
 I am not underestimating at all! 
If something can be controlled, it will be. History and human greed ensure it bc of the power it brings. That is fight I’m expecting…and I’m prepared. 
Just letting others know so they don’t get spooked and sell theirs. 
 Wall Street don't need to or want to own bitcoin. They just need to convince the majority of people that they own bitcoin, which is what etf's represent and pretty soon they will control most of the flow, which is all they were ever interested in.

They have no interest in fighting, it's not how these people operate, nor in what self custody bitcoiners do on the sidelines. To see this as a fight, is to have already lost. 

This doesn't stop amazing things from being created in the sidelines, including the tools which will help you and other like minded people to live and survive in a less fiat money world.

Staying clear minded is the fight. 
 Where/how are you seeing that they are printing paper BTC and shorting BTC? 
 Conbase and every other exchange as well as futures ETF's are all responsible for taking peoples money in exchange for something that is not bitcoin but is priced 1:1 with bitcoin and is therefore paper bitcoin. 
 I'm not disagreeing but I am looking for anything as tangible as possible regarding these ETFs.  If we can find it then we can help save people with more effectiveness.
