In this special edition of The Whitepaper, Nicolin Decker takes you on a deep dive proving how institutional adoption has distorted Nakamoto's original vision of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was created as a decentralized financial revolution, free from the grip of banks, governments, and financial institutions. But today, Wall Street, ETFs, nation-states, and hedge funds have positioned themselves as the new gatekeepers—controlling Bitcoin’s supply and dictating its price action.

Has Bitcoin been absorbed into the very system it set out to disrupt? Are ETFs a pathway to mainstream adoption, or are they simply a Trojan horse for institutional control? Can individuals still maintain financial sovereignty, or is Bitcoin following the same trajectory as gold—highly regulated, institutionally controlled, and far from decentralized?

From the 2008 financial crisis to Cyprus bail-ins, Venezuela’s hyperinflation, and engineered flash crashes, this episode uncovers how the very forces Bitcoin sought to bypass are now manipulating its purpose.

Want to go even deeper? The Whitepaper—the latest release by Nicolin Decker—dives deep into the institutional takeover of Bitcoin, financial manipulation, and the future of decentralized finance.
