No.

Imo you are correct.

I tend to agree with you

Maybe no, everyone should know about bitcoin.

Fuck institutions there’s not enough Bitcoin for friends and strangers. Fuck institutions. Good night.

Completely agree. Id rather have it grow slowly with plebs than quickly with fidelity or some shit.

First of all, everything is good for Bitcoin. But to answer your question, imo any kind of inaccessibility to Bitcoin is a problem for everyone. Price discovery will continue to take place over decades with peaks and valleys. I don’t think it’s important what causes that. The most important thing is that anyone who wants Bitcoin can easily get it without being gate kept by other institutions.

Perpetuate paper IOUs and play games with bid/sell walls, spoofing and every other trick out there that retail can’t. At worst it would be more stable.

What do you mean when you say lack of institutional access?

Like, institutional infrastructure specifically dedicated to them?

Shortcuts lead to shattered dreams and broken hearts

I see exchanges/easy access to BTC at this early of a stage as a bad thing

It's a short cut, and leads to the little people who believe in the dream holding the bag

Slow and steady progress vs rapid unsustainable growth

Institutions do have access to bitcoin. Am I missing something?

The Blocksize War is such a good book and touches on this topic. We lost a lot of merchants during the fighting, but I wouldn’t change anything. As said in the book, we’re not just building a better payment protocol, we’re building a better money.
