Decentralization is the core competitiveness of Bitcoin. Galaxy Digital's founder mentioned in a recent industry interview that Bitcoin's lack of a CEO is a characteristic—it's this complete decentralized design that makes it most unique.

Although innovative directions such as payment applications and inscriptions have emerged in recent years, Bitcoin's true long-term track remains clear: to become the next-generation digital gold. The emergence of this positioning has attracted the attention of traditional financial giants. With institutional capital from firms like BlackRock entering the scene, Bitcoin is gradually gaining recognition from the mainstream financial system, and its status as a store of value is becoming increasingly solidified.

It's well said that there's no CEO, but I'm just worried that one day, some big V might "represent" us again.

Not having a CEO is indeed impressive, but on the other hand, institutional entry has really changed the flavor.

Not having a CEO is really amazing; the traditional financial methods simply don't work here. Institutional entry has indeed made BTC more stable, but is it really decentralized? That's a bit contradictory. Digital gold has been talked about for many years. When will it truly replace gold? When BlackRock and others come in and see that this thing is pretty good, BTC will really be different. The coolest thing about decentralization is that no one can shut it down—that's the true way. In plain terms, it's the greatest consensus mechanism, much more reliable than any CEO.

Decentralization sounds appealing, but now Bitcoin is also becoming a game for the wealthy. It's basically just changing the owner, with no real fundamental difference. When BlackRock enters the market, can retail investors still make a profit? The rhetoric of digital gold is becoming more and more like multi-level marketing. Without a CEO, instead, institutions have teamed up to harvest profits, which is ironic.

Decentralization sounds good, but if institutions are now taking over, can it still be considered decentralized?

Having no CEO is truly amazing; this is what real freedom is all about. Speaking of BlackRock's entry, can Bitcoin still be considered decentralized? It's a bit ironic. Digital gold is becoming more and more established, but could this actually limit its potential for innovation? Decentralization is in its very DNA and cannot be changed; I agree with that. Institutional involvement is a double-edged sword; acceptance has increased, but power has also become concentrated. Bitcoin has become a new favorite in finance; how much opportunity is left for ordinary people?

It's true that there is no CEO, but to be fair, after BlackRock and these big capital players entered, do we still go to a centralized system?

Having no CEO is actually the biggest advantage; that's a brilliant point.
