To the decision making representatives of the SEC,
In regards to the consideration for an approved Bitcoin/Digital Asset ETF. I have always felt extremely fortunate to live in the USA. I am a father of 2 wonderful daughters and would love to say that I feel our country’s future will be secure for my childrens children, however, in light of the current instability the world seems to be in I am not certain this will be the case. In the past couple of years I have been fascinated by the potential that lies within the underlying technologies that have stemmed from Bitcoin and similar digital assets. I have spent hundreds of hours learning about the potential use cases in addition to the vast array of teams that are working around the globe to advance and embrace these technologies for the betterment of societies, governments, industries, etc.. This fascination has led me to the writing of this email in hopes that you, as the decision makers of this great county will allow the promise of this great technology to be further embraced by a more widespread demographic. I ask that you will approve the legitimate and regulatorily compliant ETF proposals. In so doing I have no doubts that the benefits will (1. be widespread (2. will foster and encourage the continuation of innovation from some of the brightest minds this world has to offer, and (3. Will usher in the building and implementation of a new era of prosperity and security for current and future generations of this great country.
Thank you for your time,
Beau Roode
