🔥 Vanguard Exec Calls Bitcoin a "Plush Toy" — But Opens Door to Crypto ETFs! 😏  

Crypto squad, the TradFi shade is real! 😂 Senior Vanguard analyst John Ameriks just dropped a bombshell: Bitcoin is "no better than a digital Labubu" — those cute collectible plush toys. Speculative only, he says...  

🚨 Quick Facts  

— Spoken at Bloomberg's ETFs conference in NYC  

— BTC = purely speculative asset, like toys  

— Potential future value? Yes — in hyperinflation or unstable regimes as alternative money  

— Timing: Right after Vanguard (last major holdout) allows 50M+ clients to trade crypto ETFs  

— No advice from Vanguard though — buy at your own risk!  

💡 Why It Matters  

This perfectly captures the love-hate relationship between traditional giants and crypto. Vanguard manages trillions but stayed anti-crypto forever... until now. Opening ETF access means fresh capital pouring into Bitcoin via products tracking $BTC. More inflows = potential price boosts! 📈  

ETFs have been a game-changer all year, bridging Wall Street and blockchain. Critics like Ameriks highlight doubts, but actions show reality: Institutions are coming in, slowly but surely. Bitcoin's 16-year track record, network security, and growing adoption speak louder than words. From "rat poison" to plush toy — the insults evolve, but BTC keeps winning. 🚀  

The future? As real-world utility grows (payments, store of value), even skeptics might warm up.
