Also one of the major ASS propositions of bitcoin remains on the individual level to empower individuals in the retention and the movement of their value, and perhaps only a few BIGGER type institutions are recognizing some kind of concrete value in that kind of power and monetary sovereignty.. which is a BIGASS use case that is already here.. and not speculation

Individuals are not the same as big institutions

The latter have to play by the rules set of their respective governments lest they should suffer unfavorable consequences. So it is not so much about institutions, big or otherwise, as about acceptance of crypto by governments. But if there is such acceptance and embrace, will we ever want these big fish sticking around? In fact, I don't think they actually need crypto as they are cool with fiat being backed up by the government. This is not the case with simple people, though, as they are to pay the price for the government shenanigans with fiat money

I am not sure if we are talking over each other or not.

I was attempting to make a description of the status quo in terms of the reasons why bitcoin advantages regular people rather than institutions, and then you seem to have been making a prescriptive statement out of the subject.

Bitcoin doesn't give any shits about who you are, and you can enter into bitcoin. Similarly, "we" have no choice about who enters into bitcoin, so if BIG institutions want to come into bitcoin, then they can come into bitcoin.

I was just attempting to assert that many of them neither perceive a benefit to enter into bitcoin at this time, but with the passage of time, they are likely going to perceive various benefits to entering bitcoin and they will enter, whether "we" like, want, appreciate or disapprove their entrance into bitcoin or not.
