Optimism Stealing Arbitrum's Users

No one says NO to more customers, right?

Especially if they’re from your competitors 😈

But how do you convince them to leave your rivals and buy your product?

The simple answer is: Just STEAL THEM!!!

We see this every day in traditional marketing settings

…like that one when Semrush hijacks Ahrefs audience 💀

Can you do the same in Web3? 🤔

Let’s say we want to pick a side in the L2 Wars and “steal” some Arbitrum users for Optimism

…sorry, Steven, but OP needs more love; just look at the charts.

Our Approach:

🐴 The Trojan Horse: create a sweet offer, with a hugeeeee incentive

🔫The Secret Weapon: target EVERYONE who holds ARB in their wallet using Blockchain-Ads

🏆The Outcome: up to 6x growth and price increase 🤯

Don’t believe me? 😏

Why a Bitcoin ETF is a bad idea? 👎

There's a lot of excitement surrounding a potential spot Bitcoin ETF (aka a way to buy Bitcoin on the stock market)...

But what're the potential downside risks?

We found a few common talking points from dissenting voices, and collected them here for you, so you can form a balanced opinion (if the feeling takes you).

Here are three common arguments against a spot Bitcoin ETF:

1. It puts a whole bunch of Bitcoin in the care of a very small amount of people, which gives them control over it.
   ​
   Sure, a wide range of people will buy into these Bitcoin ETFs - but they'll own the Bitcoin by proxy, meaning it will be the fund that actually takes custody of the Bitcoin.
   ​
   Our two cents: safe third-party custody has to become an option if Bitcoin is going to proliferate. Not everyone is going to feel comfortable holding millions/billions of dollars on a hardware wallet.
   ​
2. Some Bitcoin maxis fear that the government will try and ban individual ownership of BTC, and force investors to buy it only via an ETF.
   ​
   Our two cents: Feels like a stretch, but crazier things have happened.
   ​
3. Some folks are pointing to the idea that an ETF approval has already been priced into Bitcoin.
   ​
   Meaning that if/when an ETF gets approved and goes live, it won't move the price all that much - meaning we're all getting excited over nothing.
   ​
   ​Our two cents: in the short term, this is probably true. In the long term (12 months +), not so much.

All things considered, we're still excited at the potential of a spot Bitcoin ETF.
