Claims that ETFs, corporate treasuries, and sovereign reserves lock Bitcoin into being “digital gold” but actually catalyze its path to cash by increasing liquidity and lowering volatility. Cited specifics: MicroStrategy ~600k Bitcoins, institutional issuance of paper Bitcoin via BlackRock and others, market cap hitting $2 trillion, 30‑day volatility falling to 1.78%. Uses adoption tracking (adoption.atlas21.com/globe) and US debt math — projected debt-to-GDP 150% by 2055 — to argue store‑of‑value precedes medium‑of‑exchange and will create the economic incentive for broad spending.
