Bitcoin Will Recover. But Not For You. The Mechanism Nobody Is Discussing | Dana Love, PhD

Bitcoin’s recovery is coming, but not for the reason you think. Wall Street needs Bitcoin to become digital gold. Here’s who gets paid when it does, and why it won’t be retail investors.

Dana Love, PhD breaks down why the recovery is coming, who is building it, and why retail investors are not the intended beneficiary. The people you assume are bleeding in this crash are not the ones losing money. The recovery everyone is waiting for is being built by the same institutions that turned Bitcoin into a Wall Street product, for those same institutions, because their growth depends on it. This exact machine ran once before, in crypto’s first cycle, and it cost ordinary people tens of billions of dollars. Now it is being written into law.
