this is an interesting article from one of the biggest banks in the world.
Like it or loathe it, it looks like Bitcoin is going to be overrun with institutional investors
gobbling up big quantities of coins.


on a seperate note these stats are interesting

Is it worth the wait when banking institutions seriously and fairly consider bitcoin? I think there has never been a standardized statement for this.  They have always been unfairly cautious about bitcoin and crypto.  Bitcoin price has no limit. 
It is a falling point that anyone would try to suppress.  Anyway, Citibank has taken the right views, which will create new momentum in the market.  When the integration is back.  The market will improve and be urged very actively.

We can't be so sure about that because a lot of fuzz has been going on and companies can lobby each other and manipulate them into not investing because they are shorting bitcoin, we know that this can happen with stocks so why not with bitcoin right? I want to bet the same as you that financial institution support is going strong for bitcoin and the market as a whole but we should know that companies are not our friend.

lol, and sometimes that backfires in their faces just like Gamestop GME did.

This is the phase were retail investors and banks are vocal about their huge interest in Bitcoin, slowly they learn to believe in this asset that it has a great future for every small or big investors. Its still early to get involve in Bitcoin space, but lets set aside the risk involved. The more big investors participate in the space, the more that we should be watchful because once they move their assets it could really make significant moves in the market.

It is very clear to see that major corporations and other entities with heavy influence like the institutional investors, and giant companies like Microsoft or Tesla have had their eyes set on cryptocurrency for a while, they were just waiting for a good time to buy in.
  I think that the article is rather optimistic  and it shows that people saw it's potential even way back then. It can only grow from here, too many have a stake in now, I just hope it isn't another bubble like 2017, it was exciting and terrible all in one, lol

This is something that we have known for a very long time and during that time we were called crazy and all kind of names, it just took a global pandemic, an economic crash and governments printing money like they have never done for them to realize this, I suppose that it is better later than never right?


Things are changing, the rate at which things are moving is accelerating, even things that we could think do not deserve to be adopted quickly do so because of social media and our ability to get access to all kind of products and services from the comfort of their own home, I have seen estimates that put bitcoin way above 50 millions users which means it only took bitcoin 10 years to reach that number which means we are advancing at a good rate.

Yes. This is what the governments can do. If you're in a country that have ease to exchange bitcoin to cash, they can ask the exchange necessary details about their users such as data and other information that could lead to taxation or stronger regulation and the worse, are those what you've said.

About the decentralized exchanges, they're starting to gain momentum but they still lack of security because of the reports that some of them have been into hacking incidents.

That is only really true if they are not the kind of people that are too set on their ways to change, if they are then they are never going to adopt bitcoin no matter what happens, but if they are reasonable then bitcoin should be on their list of priorities to adopt as soon as possible.

And one of the best pieces of evidence of this are institutional investors, a great deal of those that have the most money in the world are older and yet they are coming to this market since they can see the fiat scam system is soon to be out of control and they want to have as little cash as possible when that happens.
