Understanding the financial reality of the average individual is critical in this context. In the United States, for instance, recent statistics show that a significant portion of the population cannot even afford a $500 emergency expense. This financial strain means that most retail investors cannot meaningfully participate in Bitcoin accumulation, making them reliant on institutional buying power.
As institutions continue to purchase Bitcoin at an accelerated rate—sometimes acquiring 300% to 500% more Bitcoin than is created daily—the window for average retail investors to enter the market is rapidly closing. This situation sets the stage for a significant imbalance where institutions may end up owning not only digital assets but potentially also critical resources in the real world.
