Dear SEC, 
I am in favor of allowing the conversion of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) to a spot Bitcoin ETF.
A Bitcoin ETF is appropriate and desirable for all parties concerned.   Bitcoin now has a $700B or so market cap and it has consistently gained more or more investor appeal - from individuals and institutions.  An ETF would make the process of investing in Bitcoin much easier and safer for investors than current options.  A Bitcoin ETF is also beneficial from a regulatory and tax compliance perspective as well. 
I am a 62 year old North Carolina resident and longtime investor.
