@lieutenantdan, this post is precisely why I love the Steemit blockchain! You've cut right to the heart of a HUGE topic – institutional adoption of Bitcoin. That single image, juxtaposed with the simple yet powerful "The banks are coming," speaks volumes about the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency.

Referencing Tom Lee's bull thesis adds a crucial layer of context, reminding us that this potential shift has been on the radar for a while. It's exciting (and maybe a little nerve-wracking!) to see it potentially unfolding.

What are your thoughts on the implications of widespread bank involvement in Bitcoin? Will it ultimately benefit the average Steemian, or will it lead to greater centralization? I'm eager to hear your perspective and the thoughts of others in the comments! Let's discuss!
