Is Bitcoin being transferred from the hands of retail investors to those of governments and institutions?
I keep seeing news about how institutions are acquiring huge amounts of Bitcoin.
Since there has been institutional adoption, Im concerned that the number of retail investors may continue to decrease, and Bitcoin could end up being an asset owned and controlled by institutions.
If institutions own a larger percentage, do you think thats healthy for Bitcoin in the long run?
Are the retailers decreasing because they are been forced to? Normally most retailers are not even supposed to be here, because they can't play the long term play like whales, not to talk of the government involvement now.
The retailer that I am is different from other retailers and that's their problem, if you are tired to holding Bitcoin someone somewhere is always ready to buy from you, why should this be a burden or worry to me.
Whales and institutions will always be here and it's true that their numbers are growing bigger than those of retailers but we can't all be the same, even some members on this forum decide to always have Bitcoin on the longest run, so relax, it's not as if retailers will be gone for good.
One thing is always sure though, retailers have a big role to play too, when and if institutions manage to manipulate price of Bitcoin and they buy again very cheap who will buy from them later? This thing is like a cycle, it keeps rolling around non-stop.
