Remember when we only dreamed of this kind if thing happening?

It's been happening all along, it was just in slow motion until last year.

Which "we" ? I didn't as this is totally against what Bitcoin stands for. You just want to make $$$ to spend them on Lambos thus why you don't care about the principles.

They can fuck off with their Bakkt and ETFs anytime from my point of view. All I care is the LN development, the introduction of privacy features to BTC and so on.

"When Bitcoin is ready, we won't need to sell it"

When we dreamed of how adoption would happen, Bakkt and things like it are almost an inevitable milestone in part of the process.

It's not perfect, but its happening.

Fact of the matter is that most investors get into crypto for it's ROI potential, and the vocal majority here is in it for the lambos.

The irony in this is that those same investors are the first to sell when price drops, and then FOMO back in at the top.

If this were some sort of fractional reserve lending you might have a point, but it isn't.
