Larry Fink’s "Evolution" on Bitcoin Is a Masterclass in Oligarchic Hypocrisy BlackRock CEO & WEF co-chairman Larry Fink just admitted he was "wrong" about Bitcoin. But his confession reveals a chilling worldview. In 2017, he stood with Jamie Dimon, dismissing Bitcoin as the "currency for money launderers and thieves." Today, BlackRock runs the world's largest Bitcoin ETF. What changed? According to Fink, it wasn't a moral awakening; it was a cold, calculated realization of where true power lies in a decaying global system. Here’s what Fink is really saying: - Bitcoin is the "Currency of Fear." He admits people don't buy it out of hope, but out of desperation. They are "frightened of their security" and "frightened of the debasement" of their national currency. He sees the crumbling faith in the very fiat system his institution profits from. - It's a Tool for Bypassing Failed States. He learned of an Afghan woman using Bitcoin to pay female workers under the Taliban. His takeaway? When state-controlled banking becomes an instrument of oppression or collapses, decentralized networks become essential. He’s not celebrating freedom; he’s acknowledging a new, unstoppable geopolitical reality. - He Admits Its Illicit Use Case is Overblown. By highlighting that 20% of Bitcoin ownership is Chinese despite it being illegal, he implicitly concedes its primary use is not crime, but as a safeguard against authoritarian capital controls and economic instability. The Stunning Conclusion: Fink’s journey is the ultimate indictment of the system he helps lead. He now embraces Bitcoin not because he believes in its libertarian ideals, but because he recognizes it as the inevitable "digital gold" for a world losing trust in governments and central banks. BlackRock isn't "believing" in Bitcoin; it's commodifying your fear. They failed to kill it, so now they're seizing it, packaging it into an ETF, and selling your desperation back to you. The man who called it a tool for thieves now runs the world's biggest vault. The "evolution" isn't in Fink's character; it's in his strategy to control the very asset built to escape his control.

So, does it matter that Bitcoin seems to be moving away from its cypherpunk roots? Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin Treasuries have taken BTC mainstream. So I asked Saifedean Ammous this very question. His answer might surprise you... 👀👇 "If you have very strong feelings about how people should and shouldn't use Bitcoin, you're in for a rough time." "To be honest, a lot of people project too much onto Bitcoin. Ultimately, it's just a bunch of software and anybody can use it in any way they want. Initially, it's a small subset of people that use it and then they start projecting their values onto it. And then over time, they expect it to continue to abide by that," Ammous said. "If it's a successful technology, it's going to be used by everybody. It's going to be used by small businesses, large businesses, governments, individuals. It's money. Everybody uses money. There are 8.5 billion people on Earth, they all use money and they're all going to continue to use money. And Bitcoin is just the best money." Ultimately, the protocol itself is immune to the financial instruments that TradFi has concocted. If people want to lend against their BTC or create complex financial products, that does not actually impact the underlying network. "The way that the protocol works is that it's completely blind to what you're doing with your coins on the Bitcoin blockchain there is no paper Bitcoin there's no such thing as paper Bitcoin there's only 21 million Bitcoin and every node makes sure of that every 10 minutes and then if somebody who has some of these Bitcoin on their private key decides to sell obligations or financial liabilities referring to that Bitcoin under any condition, that's their choice. It's outside of Bitcoin and it's outside of the realm of other Bitcoin users being able to say this is right or wrong and this should happen or shouldn't happen. People are going to do whatever they want with the Bitcoin, including selling access to it or exposure to it in all kinds of different ways. And if you don't like it, you don't buy it, you can stack your own Bitcoin." You can find the full interview for Cointelegraph in the 🧵.

Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the Bitcoin drop: "Bitcoin has always been a global liquidity canary in the coal mine" "what [this] says to me is that Bitcoin is being sold to fund and chase... momentum stocks, particularly NASDAQ and semiconductors" "[this] means the liquidity situation isn't as good as everyone thinks, because if this was truly a liquidity driven market rise, Bitcoin would be participating right now" This clip of Dowd (Edward Dowd), a former BlackRock fund manager and co-founder of Phinance Technologies, is taken from an interview with Daniela Cambone-Taub (Daniela Cambone-Taub) posted to the ITM TRADING, INC. YouTube channel on June 5, 2026. ---------------Partial transcription of clip---------------- "So Bitcoin peaked in October of last year and in this most recent move, in three weeks it's gone from 81,000 to 67,000. That's a 17% decline in three weeks. And technically it looks like it wants to go find a new low. "At the moment it may rally from here, but, the NASDAQ and Bitcoin have a strong correlation, historically 95%. "Bitcoin is a risk-on trade. So recently that's decoupled a little bit, which implies one of two things. Bitcoin needs to rally back up to make the correlation hold or the NASDAQ has to move down a lot for the correlation to hold. "So given Bitcoin's decline, it makes me concerned that global— and Bitcoin has always been a global liquidity canary in the coal mine. So what it says to me is that Bitcoin is being sold to fund and chase, you know, momentum stocks, particularly NASDAQ and semiconductors, which means the liquidity situation isn't as good as everyone thinks. "Because if this was truly a liquidity driven market rise, Bitcoin would be participating right now. "[And Michael] Saylor's stock has been a disaster for the last year and a half. He's selling some Bitcoin to pay some dividends. There is a thesis that he gets a margin call. I don't know whether that's true or not, but at these levels, it's margin call. "People have said in $74,000 bitcoins, margin call territory, we're now at $67,000. We'll see if that continues to unwind the Bitcoin space. But it just doesn't bode well for global liquidity that Bitcoin is struggling, in my humble opinion."
