The Bitcoin Community Is Divided Over Institutional Interest


Preston Payash, co-founder of Bitcoin Venture Fund Ego Death Capital, says, early bitcoin adopters are never likely to be doubtful about institutional adoption.

“A part of the culture that brought it where it is, where it is going and saying whether it is not, no, no, no, it is all moving in a bad direction,” Pysh told Natalie Brunelle at the Coin Stories Podcast on Friday.

Pysh said that institutions engaged in “institutional things like institutional” such as bitcoin (BTC) derivatives are concerned about long-term effects and whether bitcoin can still act as a safe-heaven property that was once.

Institutes will use “very different” bitcoins compared to individuals: Pysh

Pysh explained that bitcoin ethos is being challenged, and he hopes that this will continue to investigate as an expansion of institutional interest.

“I think it’s going to go in a direction where a lot of people use bitcoin in the way they want to use bitcoin, especially institutions, which are going to use it very differently how individuals use it,” Pysh said.
