From Cypherpunk Dream to Wall Street Darling: Bitcoin’s Identity Crisis? 🚀🔗
Since its 2009 debut, #Bitcoin has transformed from a decentralized rebel to a mainstream financial asset—thanks to Wall Street’s growing embrace. But at what cost? 🤔
Many OG crypto enthusiasts fear this shift undermines Bitcoin’s core values: censorship resistance, privacy, and decentralization. As Jameson Lopp (@lopp) of Casa puts it, "Suitcoiners" are reshaping Bitcoin’s ethos, leaving early adopters questioning its future.
Is Wall Street’s involvement a Trojan horse 🏛️🐴—bringing legitimacy but risking compromise? Or is it simply the next phase of adoption? The debate rages on, especially around Bitcoin’s sacred 21M cap and its original vision.
Where do you stand? Bullish on institutional adoption or holding the line for decentralization? 💬👇
