I ask this question because I wonder what Bitcoin will become now that the financial institutions and meme coin advocates have taken over.
What have they taken over? ETFs own a tiny percentage of Bitcoin supply, other institutions like banks or hedge funds barely own any coins at all. Memecoins are completely irrelevant to Bitcoin, they are just high risk gambling devices for those who think that Bitcoin is not volatile enough and moves too slowly.
Bitcoin is in good position right now, it's not really threatened by anything right now, it's just hitting its own technical limitations, and there's no tragedy here, because everything has its limits.
