There was a time when we all pray for Bitcoin to be accepted, to stop being attack by governments, and to reach new heights. Back then, we wanted:
1. Government to stop fighting Bitcoin: Today we have Bitcoin presidents (Bukele and Trump)
2. Bitcoin to be legalized: Today bitcoin is a legal tender in El Salvador.
3. Bitcoin to be recognize by institutions: Today, we have Bitcoin ETF and even USA is keeping Bitcoin reserve.
4. Bitcoin to reach new all time high → Now, Bitcoin have pass $100,000.
Everything we wished for is happening, yet many people still find reason to complain. Some say, “Bitcoin is too expensive now” or “Institutions are ruining it”. But was mass adoption not always the goal?
Are we just naturally never satisfied, or is there something else?
People always have different opinion, you're almost guaranteed to find someone who voiced different opinion and that's fine.
But I think what people mean by institutions ruining it or any other similar complain is that they want to preserve decentralization while also being legalized by the government.
as of now it may seems that large institutions are trying to manipulate bitcoin and people are concerned.
