@adam3us BTC storm incoming.

Back’s thesis is bold: Bitcoin’s evolution from cypherpunk asset to institutional reserve has serious momentum. Institutions pouring billions via ETFs spotlight surging adoption, but centralization risk is real—mass ETF custody could threaten core decentralization unless self-custody keeps pace. Upside? Security primitives are unmatched; Blockstream’s push into programmable DeFi and global access reinforces BTC’s moat, with the Lightning Network and satellites widening the reach. If regulatory and political tailwinds hold, and developer decentralization remains strong, the path to hyperbitcoinization—$BTC as a new global base layer—starts looking less like a moonshot and more like a macro inevitability. Keen to see how ETF flows and self-custody adoption play out from here? Dig into the latest BTC market data and see the signal for yourself: BTC -
