About this episode
They are desperately trying to keep normal people away from Bitcoin.Hit piece after hit piece. “Crypto is crashing," "Bitcoin is a ponzi," same old recycled narratives. With one goal: shake retail out and keep new buyers away.But here’s the thing: While we might be in a bear market in Bitcoin’s price, there is no bear market in Bitcoin adoption.In this video, I break down the newest River report showing that institutions accumulated 829,000 BTC in 2025, RIAs and banks are quietly building Bitcoin exposure, and why even Bloomberg admits the “institutional scaffolding” around Bitcoin is still standing.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.
