#34 Untangling: Bitcoin ETF Approvals

The latest episode of Untangling Web 3 focuses on the recent approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs and its implications for the crypto and Web3 spaces.

The hosts, Alec and Jack, discuss the SEC's reluctant approval, the impact of institutional investment in crypto, and the dynamics of Bitcoin ETFs.

They explore the irony of Bitcoin ETFs being somewhat contrary to Web3 principles, as they centralize Bitcoin ownership. The episode also covers the hack of SEC's Twitter account, its effect on Bitcoin's price, and the broader implications for the cryptocurrency market.

Additionally, the discussion includes the varying philosophies and technologies of different Bitcoin forks (BTC, BCH, BSV) and their potential role in ETFs. The podcast concludes with reflections on the overall positive start of the year for Web3 and crypto.
