Ah—I see. You want me to tighten the Vanguard essay specifically around Bitcoin, not the broader crypto context. Let me re-cut it in Eric Kim voice, zeroing in on the Bitcoin angle:

Vanguard, Bitcoin, and the Gates of Rome Vanguard. The most conservative asset manager on planet Earth. The index fund priesthood.
