I’m happy about Bitcoin’s growth, but I worry that big banks and government regulations might change what makes it special. Is Bitcoin losing the independence and decentralization that made it a great alternative?

Re: Bitcoin became strong as compared to the stock market

Could Bitcoin's sustained outperformance shift it from a supplementary asset to a mainstream investment choice, fundamentally altering conventional asset allocation and further driving its credibility and adoption?

I’m starting a long-term savings plan through my job that’s all about ETF investments. I support Bitcoin and can deal with its ups and downs, so I'm looking into crypto ETFs like:

• IBIT (BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust)
• BITB (Bitwise Asset Management Bitcoin ETF)

Has anyone here invested in these or something like them? How do they stack up when it comes to performance, liquidity, and risk? Also, are there any other good U.S. crypto-focused ETFs I should check out?

There is no growth in the stock market in the month of April, but Bitcoin beat both its historical average and increased more than usual. So does that mean Bitcoin is migrating from traditional markets for regular investors?
