Part 21/26:
Regulatory Landscape and Bitcoin’s Resilience
Addressing fears of regulatory threats, they note that Bitcoin currently enjoys more clarity and acceptance among regulated institutions globally than many other cryptocurrencies. Major firms like Fidelity incorporate Bitcoin into retirement plans, and US banks are exploring its use. Despite political resistance, especially in certain countries, Bitcoin’s open and permissionless network provides resilience against censorship.
They argue that Bitcoin has evolved beyond being a “threat” to its own existence; instead, it’s becoming an essential infrastructure—serving as a fixture in the global economy, especially as traditional payment systems struggle under legacy constraints.
