BTC is actually $5000 over and still the Koreans are buying. Reason for this is that in Korea it's harder to get money around, and therefor they're willing to pay a premium for it.

I do not believe this. Retail just has a hard time getting in. Supply is constrained and demand is high, because this channel allows easy purchase, but accesses limited liquidity. It is a picture of what will happen when a proper BTC ETF is listed in the U.S. - not some pink sheet closed-end fund which no one wants to touch except for arbitrage.

crypto hedge funds type folks start to pick up on your postings:

Yeah, that was pretty interesting.
I've been worried about the high fees putting a damper on btc. But this guy talking about options, family offices, pensions and the like puts a different perspective on things. The big boys might not be deterred by a twenty dollar fee or a hundred dollar fee. Also, it's going to take time for these big investors to get in. They're waiting for a viable custodial arrangement, which might take a year or two.
So in the short term, btc might take a hit because of the network congestion or simply because it's time for a pullback after extravagant gains. But long term looks bullish.
