What's actually being debated, why she's wary when changes get pushed fast, and whether any of this is an existential threat to Bitcoin.

Luke Gromen on why Bitcoin might keep stalling around $58k-72K: big players can satisfy demand with paper bets instead of buying real #Bitcoin, which holds the price back. It's worked on #gold for years, but he doesn't think it lasts forever with Bitcoin…
