Once, the clever moneymakers purchased the spot Bitcoin ETFs only to short the futures, playing a game of hide and seek with mispricing – a sort of financial Frodo risking the One Ring. But alas!

The arbitrage funds are slipping away like scandalous whispers at a dinner party.

The cypherpunk spirit is aflame in him, ostensibly attempting to champion the noble intentions of our beloved technology.” What a delicate dance of words it is!
