 How and why does the Ethereum ETF hurt Bitcoin? 
 you can’t print more bitcoin to debase value, but you can print shitcoins and 99% of people do not know the difference.  
 How does that hurt Bitcoin? 
 it slows adoption. it syphons value. it prolongs affinity scams.  
 Bitcoin cannot handle adoption anyway. There is no way to pay for things with Bitcoin that doesn't suck. The lack of adoption is mostly cause by Bitcoin itself being so bad. In fact many ossification-enthusiast Bitcoin influencers are actively against adoption right now maybe because of that reason, or because they want to make a point about "time preference"; or perhaps because they would lose proeminence if more people started using Bitcoin. 
 Likely the latter.  
 Fix it. 
 bitcoin can and will scale in layers. investment and innovation will increase with demand. 

ossification is impossible in a software project, I don’t take this argument seriously. 
 Who said anything about ethereum ETF hurting Bitcoin? 
I was only saying maxis believed that SEC would deem all crypto as securities and Bitcoin would just Ngu to infinity and other tokens would just die.  
 Don't you consider yourself a maxi? 
 So many definitions of maxis lately.

 rambling on 
 Lol what maxis? I call myself a maxi and I don't care about eth ETF, I care the same way as eth itself, zero.  
 I don't care BTC ETF either. 
 Yeah me neither even though it's positive for more access to it with the price exposure.
