It is dangerous to assume the institutional capital will come into bitcoin without expecting anything.
We are yet to see institutional investment in the bitcoin market and once there is a clarity regarding the market from the regulators we might see huge investment from these institution and they will invest to reap the profits and they will have the power to manipulate the market because of their huge investment and it will be a boon for early investors as the price of bitcoin will go through the roof and the volatility will be high.

It is dangerous to assume the institutional capital will come into bitcoin without expecting anything.
I mean we do expect a return and profits as well but we have no power over the politics and basically the world of law whereas the whales of the world do have that and if corporations come into bitcoin then they will bring all their power with them which is a great thing for all of us but if something bad happens and bitcoin hurts them then they will try to use all of their power to make that money back from the crypto world by any means necessary so it would hurt us as well.
Institutional money is not something we can afford to go against and fight right now, we are already volatile and fragile as it is and if we do that then we would be always in danger at any moment.

Till a value it is okay , but you should remember that these institutions generally are more towards gaining their own profits therefore at the end you can never trust them to think good for the community as a whole.
If they hold a huge sum then price may sure sky rocket but they will use it for their own profits which might be a little bad for the market , I think till an extent it is for sure okay , but when it comes to long term investments we cannot trust them for sure.

The debate is still on-going if large investments from institutional firms, would be good or bad for Bitcoin in the long run. Some are saying it will bring more volatility and others are just happy that the price will probably go to the Moon.
There are also conspiracy theories doing the rounds that these institutions will use their financial powers to destroy Bitcoin.
Some are even saying that the small fish will be eaten by the big sharks. Let's consider the impact of this and how this will change the Bitcoin scene.
Will Bitcoin go 100% commodity & store of value or will it still be used as a currency?
I don’t really know this for sure, but there are lots of people that keeps saying they wish for institutions to start investing their money in Bitcoin because they believe that institution money is going to help the price of Bitcoin to go higher. But one thing you should also know is that all these people that are saying all these are just saying for their personal purpose. They all just want institutions to invest their money in cryptocurrency because they believe that it is going to make the price of cryptocurrency to increase and they will use that opportunity to make lots of money. There are also conspiracy theories doing the rounds that these institutions will use their financial powers to destroy Bitcoin.

Institutional investors will be the BIG losers. They are only making early bitcoin investors rich.
If you are running those corporate institutions then the statement would be true 
, financial institutions deal with multi millions of dollars worth of investment and they have a dedicated team to monitor the market and take good decisions according to the market situation and these investments will aide the price of bitcoin as it will reach new levels but the issue is that they could manipulate the market as they are dealing in huge amounts, it is possible for them to determine when to sell off and crash the market and when to purchase and that is the biggest worry. 
I think that at this moment the institutional money, its inclusion will be totally good for the market, because it is most likely that they enter in favor of the price so that it rises, that is, the big investors will raise the bitcoin price accordingly so that the majority of people enter LONG and so they can start taking profits as they are selling bitcoins, is a very good tactic, especially because what is generated is a total bullish trend, which is what is in the current phase .
As far as making early investors rich, it's their advantage, they see Bitcoin's potential and it was realized in 2017, but we don't have to blame them though.
People thinking like that guy are dumb and short sighted. You have to follow what smart money is doing, and they are accumulating even at current levels preparing for the next leg up. If you worry about making early investors rich then you can't invest in anything, because by that logic you're always too late, whether it's a stock, property, bar of gold, an artwork, a watch, and so forth.
And then we should ask that guy what his definition of rich is. The amount he thinks you need to be rich might be pocket change for others. People here never fail to surprise me with their stupidity.

This is not new, they have been practicing this already, and the market is still doing fine.
Financial institution with large capitalization which we usually refer to as bulls has been the ones balancing the equation and has given chance to so many people to understand how to play along with whales that their sole purpose is to pump the market and dump it.

Here you go again with you big theory here. As far as I know when CBoE and CME enters the markets, the price suddenly spike resulting to a all-time-high. But it wasn't that sustainable though, that's why they losses a big chunk of their investment specially coming 2018 with a long bear market. As far as making early investors rich, it's their advantage, they see Bitcoin's potential and it was realized in 2017, but we don't have to blame them though.
I mean it is the corporations so it is always a bit of a risk for sure but at this stage of bitcoin how can you stop them.
Sometimes arguing about something you can't do anything about is both fun but also very useless, lets say institutional capital is very very bad for bitcoin, can you stop it? Can you slow it down? What can you do about it? Nothing. So why would we care about if it is good or bad if we can't do anything about it.
Maybe instead of focusing on the discussion of good or bad, we should instead shift our focus on how can we make it good. I have always liked the idea of acquisitions for example, if big corporations buy the smaller crypto ones and make it bigger and put more funding into it to get it to higher stage that would be good, maybe instead of buying bitcoin, we should help them buy the crypto companies instead.

Institutional capital is good but for them to have more control on the market is not good IMO.
I still believe that massive adoption is necessary so the price could not easily be manipulated, with institutional capital they have the power just like the whales and I'm afraid from time to time they can shake the market so it will dump and they'll buy.
Thus far, the market is pretty moving based on hype and FUD, but as it gets stronger, trends will certainly change and we need massive adoption for that.
Bitcoin will be not best suit as a good payment system since it's not fast and cheap, but it can be a good store of value.

Institutional capital is necessary for a more stable and liquid market of cryptocurrency. More so better laws will be make that will make investing very friendly. I hope all hurdles are overcome and the big banks finally bow out.
I don't think that's possible. You indirectly want crypto to replace fiat, even now the bank still opposes crypto. And I myself do not agree that later Crypto will be like that, surely it will have a lot of regulations and restrictions so there is no decentralization in crypto because everything is regulated.
I hope fiat and crypto can work together, and balance the world economy. Because both types of currencies have an important role in the world economy.
All needed is for many merchants to strictly go online and stop collecting fiat with the use of crypto atm, and I guess this is why developed countries are more threatened, but for the under developed countries, it will be impossible for them to accept crypto over fiat.

The second sentence is true but not the first one. Big institutional investors have the power to MOVE the market at their will, and they are instantly drooling at markets with low cap where they can easily step in and step out at their convenience.
At the time Bitcoin has limited supply, Bitcoin will be more useful for payment and also as store of value, but pending that time, I think they are still very useful and needed for us to always see the increase we need to make profit from our investment.

Uuhm I think there is going to be both the advantages and the disadvantages. Institutions will help to increase the volume of trade for crypto, cause they will be investing and trading huge amounts of money and that means that the cryptocurrency market will be growing really fast in price. But my question is whether they are going to hold their capital in Bitcoin forever? Maybe one day there will be a better option for them and that means that they are going to leave Bitcoin for sure and go for something else, which will cause the market to fall and when it starts falling, smaller investors will start running from it as well, unless they are ready to bear the losses.

I am not sure what you are implying here, institutional investors will not invest unless they are certain that they can earn bigger profits than the rest of the markets and even if the initial investors become rich who cares if they are getting their profit 
. If you look at any financial market early investors have undue advantage and they will be the biggest earners than the rest of the investors who came in late and there is nothing wrong in that and that is how the world revolves and if you miss the train there is nothing there to be done .
