A tug of war over Bitcoin’s future is becoming more ferocious. This battle, pitting corporate interests seeking to profit from the Bitcoin system’s disruptive potential against an anti-corporatist dream for a human-first financial system that bypasses institutional middlemen, has been in play for some time. But with bitcoin’s latest price rally, the fight has intensified. Now, Wall Street’s heavyweights are moving in. And to many who hail from Bitcoin’s “cypherpunk” roots, those guys are the enemy. The engagement of Fidelity, Citibank, BlackRock and now MassMutual need not be the death…

The average mood toward Bitcoin has been declining consistently during the past two weeks,…
