The article mentions that an estimated 50-90% of bitcoin's current market cap is held by near-institutional money. That is indeed significant. If more institutional money flows in, the market cap would dramatically improve.


Sure, but it works both ways, if 'institutional investors' lose interest in Bitcoin, market cap would dramatically fall.

Yes and it would be better to see less 'institutional investors' and more individuals and have the same price as today. I feel that individual investors is what will propel this coin.

Yes and no. I d like to see lots of instis coming in AND running miners as well, they really can afford this and will ensure better mining decentralization what is crucial i.o. to ensure proper trust.
