Hello, 


I have been involved in crypto trading since 2011 and am a holder of several cryptocurrencies. I have found Bitcoin in particular to be a more trusted investment than other investment vehicles that I have participated in (stocks, bonds, 401k). This is because it's global, decentralized, borderless, deflationary and governed by no central authority among other intrinsic features.  
Because of these built in and unchangeable properties it is unable to be manipulated. This is especially true if traded on decentralized exchanges. I am nervous about the US Dollar inflation and uncertainty in the stock market and want a different way to store value for myself and my family. 
Allowing for an ETF will allow investors to safely diversify their portfolio and invest in the future of money and stored value stored in a safe way.  


Thank you for your time.
