Antonopoulos observed that traditional financial institutions do not adopt Bitcoin directly because of regulatory constraints and the centralized power structures they operate within. Instead, they’re developing their own private, permissioned “blockchain” equivalents—inefficient but compliant.
He also reinforced that Bitcoin is not merely a “company”-like entity but a global, autonomous network that embodies a new paradigm of money—resilient, censorship-resistant, and open.
