Wall Street is not trying to kill Bitcoin now. It is trying to wrap it, custody it, fee it, and keep it inside products people never truly control.
Morgan Stanley launched MSBT this month, and the bigger question is not price. It is power. When more BTC sits inside institutional products, more of the network's economic weight moves further away from self custody and closer to gatekeepers.
Bitcoin was built for peer to peer ownership, not permanent dependence on advisers, custodians, and closed platforms.
Are we watching adoption, or a slow capture of Bitcoin’s original purpose?
