In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin changed BlackRock.

BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink used to spend his time attacking Bitcoin as being bad for the environment and enabling money laundering.

Now, whether through pure greed or some greater form of enlightenment, Fink has become a vocal advocate for Bitcoin, as BlackRock prepares to launch their proposed ETF.

BlackRock's move sends the signal to institutions that Bitcoin is now a safe and acceptable investment asset.

Even though the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF will be Bitcoin IOU garbage, it will still contribute to Bitcoin adoption.

The great thing about Bitcoin is that it channels human greed to spread itself and spread its benefits to humanity.

Greedy humans see "number go up." Meanwhile, humanity gets neutral, sound money.
