A lot of people go solo. They mine, they work in the markets, they work as couriers, they roam around the universe and kill other people's ships to sell for scraps. It's a sandbox mmo, you can do whatever you like.

It does hinder your ability to participate in big battles like this and money making will be slower. But some people don't mind since they just want to be independent.

yelnatz··on Winklevoss twins to offer Bitcoin ETF
An ETF is basically a bunch of money pooled in to invest in diverse stuff such as stocks, bonds, etc.

The thing is, they can be traded like stocks and their value depends on the total value of all the stuff they're holding.

If you invest in ETF it's generally safer since your investment doesn't depend on one stock (putting eggs in one basket) but you're still affected by the market.
