As an investment I'm not really caring about whether or not BTC is allowed to become currency... I'm more interested in what people believe in that respect. Once the ETF's came out BTC has begun to correlate with the markets as a whole. Investor psychology is key to investing.

Right now the inflows into the largest of the ETF's (IBIT) have been steady with some profit taking after the run ups.

The new administration is talking about making it part of our reserve system. That's going to be a big lift as it takes away the power the Federal Reserve was established to gather. Politics and power structures aside, as an investment that will cause more buying IMHO.

I bought the ETF on it's first day (first 15 minutes in fact) and haven't sold a share of it yet. I also have some direct crypto but that's held for a different reason.

One of my mining rigs just keeps growing, in the process of upgrading my home network as its bottlenecking my 3Gb fibre internet connection. So making the switch to 10Gb network at home this month, most of my network is 1Gb with a few 2.5Gb PC's an validator nodes.

I was under the impression the mining bitcoin didn't require fast internet, just reliable?

BTC isn't the only thing you can mine... plus If you have 70 devices doing stuff online, family streaming in 4k and playing games then you want all of that going through a larger pipe!
