by Ram ben Ze'ev The Silent Seller: How Bitcoin ETFs Turn Fear into Forced Liquidation The greatest risk in Bitcoin today is not volatility. It is not regulation. It is not even leverage. The real danger sits quietly inside the structure of Bitcoin ETFs, largely unseen by retail investors and deliberately softened by institutional marketing. That danger is the absence of human judgment at the moment selling matters most. When Bitcoin is held directly, the decision to sell is
