Hi, 



As a woman who has been in this space since the early days, I find it vital that we the public keep control of our cryptocurrencies and accept the risks that come with self-ownership. I have a tax advisor who is helping me work through this messy period in time for the rest of the stuff. 



To Bitwise: Your presentation is condescending and assumes that the public need protecting by an ETF. 



It is also laughable that your presentation is essentially claiming that 95% of the volume is manipulated and that liquidity is much lower than previously calculated. 



It is like asking permission from the fishing authorities by saying: 

"Gee whizz 95% of the world's oceans are polluted, but we assure you that 5% is not. And the actual volume of fish is much smaller than previously calculated. So we Bitwise argue that it is a very healthy and stable environment for fishing. Therefore grant us a fishing license immediately {by taking our word for it} as it is a brilliant idea for us to go out fishing now!" 



Come on SEC how can you grant and ETF after this fiasco? I am confident there are better workarounds than such products from the financial world. 



Thank you for listening 

Emma
