The education as to what bitcoin is is the important thing.
If all people want is NGU speculative commodity without ‘doing anything’ (or learning anything) then the protocol will fail.
Bitcoin is like a city - people participating in the network, participating in consensus. That means paying fees, using the network, and trying to leave it ‘slightly better’ for the next generation if possible.
If it’s just ‘holding the etf because it goes up’ with zero education or network use, then the protocol will fail.

Everyone has had and will have varying reasons for acquiring Bitcoin.
Mine was because I objected (and still do) to the undue influence bankers have gained over our politics and lives.
Have also sold down my stack a little lately not to invest in other things so much as to just live and work on some projects that are important to me.
Still hoping Bitcoin will be more widely adopted for payments but that hope is fading as more and more of the narrative seems to be able NGU and speculative commodity ETF SoV style use.
Whatever will be will be- we the owners and users of Bitcoin do get to have our say in how we use the protocol.
