It's been a few months since the Spot Bitcoin ETFs launched, and the numbers are staggering. These funds have absorbed hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin, directly from the available supply.

This isn't just speculation anymore; it's Wall Street allocating real capital to BTC as a legitimate asset class (a "store of value" in their terms). The ease of buying BTC through a traditional brokerage account cannot be overstated for new investors.

However, it also means more Bitcoin is being held in custodial wallets by large institutions rather than in personal wallets.

Discussion Starters:

• Do ETFs help or hurt Bitcoin's "be your own bank" ethos?

• Will the constant buy-pressure from ETFs create a permanent supply shock?

• Have you, or someone you know, invested in Bitcoin solely because of the ETFs?
