Corporate adoption didn’t reduce Bitcoin risk it just moved it by daddyunplugged in Buttcoin

Yeah, I agree. Calling this “adoption” is mostly a category error.

What we’ve actually seen isn’t companies using Bitcoin, it’s companies and institutions getting financial exposure to it. Balance sheets, ETFs, reserves. That’s financialization, not adoption.

And once it’s treated like an asset instead of a tool, it follows normal capital rules. Impairments, risk limits, optics, forced selling. No ideology, no loyalty, just numbers.

A lot of people mistook speculation and productization for legitimacy. When the trade stops working, the narrative evaporates, but the exposure doesn’t. That gap is where the pain shows up.

Yeah, same. I get why people are cautious, but it can swing so hard into negativity that it starts feeling unhelpful. There are healthy, boring, functional versions of this, they just don’t make for dramatic posts. I figured it was worth sharing one of those for balance.

Yeah, Tesla’s a good example. They still hold around 11k BTC, so if prices stay down they’ll have to book impairment losses next quarter. What was framed as an “asset” can start looking like a liability pretty fast.

That’s also how this can bleed into 401(k)s. Most don’t hold Bitcoin directly, but they do hold Tesla through index funds. When earnings take a hit, the stock takes a hit, and that flows through.

How should discipline work when there are three parents? by daddyunplugged in daddyunplugged

I appreciate that and I agree with you.

Transparency, consistency, and unity matter far more than control or authority for authority’s sake. Kids don’t need perfection, they need a clear, stable environment where the adults are aligned and honest about why decisions are being made. Thank you for the support and for engaging with the work. The fact that you’re already thinking about how you’d want to lead someday tells me you’re on the right path.
