As you read this, Bitcoin is just starting its gradual takeover of the S&P 500:

Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR), the largest publicly listed corporate holder of Bitcoin by reported BTC holdings, is expected to soon get a listing on the S&P 500. The company's reported 152,800 BTC is valued at approximately $16.69 billion at the current price.

Japan's Financial Services Agency has granted conditional approval for spot Bitcoin ETFs. While El Salvador continues active sovereign purchases, active discussions conducted throughout Latin America by governments of Paraguay, Panama, Nicaragua and Argentina. Brazil has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill under discussion to authorize more than $18 billion in sovereign purchases.

With so much happening, do you and all of your friends have some Bitcoin yet? What are you waiting for? It's a surprise that more individuals haven't gotten involved at this stage.
