It's not related to this at all. Bitcoin is a store of value like gold and silver. Smart money knows the bull run is over and the depression of all depressions is about to begin. Literally, no-one is betting on the ETF working out. They have stated clearly 25% or 35% chance of success. Markets don't do mass moves on bets like that, especially crypto, which has a huge hate on for the banking system, as should everyone.

Well, it seems like you're quite wrong there, as the ETF is very related to the bitcoin price right now. Incase you didn't know, Bitcoin actually broke its previous record the other night for example. It dipped a bit afterwards ofcourse and now it's going back up. The point is not to know whether the ETF will be approved - it's the fact that people are throwing money in NOW because they know the speculation over the ETF will cause BTC to rise. 'They' haven't stated 25 to 35 percent at all, that's what a news article on bitcoin said. The securities & exchanges commission doesn't bust out with numbers like that to the open public before the meeting actually takes place. It's just simple speculation based on reports seen through the eyes of one or two people.

That is being used as a cover. The main reason for bitcoin's rise is speculative risk of the dollar, and yaun. You are simply parroting the mainstream media's cover story, so people don't start getting any smart ideas like protecting their wealth.

It's called 'riding the waves' and the media is simply a good signalling tool & creator of those waves. It hypes people up. I'm a grounded person, so I can see through the hype but still realize it exists and can be ridden like a horse into riches, which is just simple investing strategy. People who protected their wealth in bitcoin are now selling parts and making good profits for it. It's obvious that bitcoin is quite useful, especially in this unstable day & age.
