Blockstream CEO Adam Back says institutional adoption of Bitcoin is moving much slower than many expect.


Key takeaways:
•Position building could take 12–18 months
•Even with Bitcoin ETFs, fund managers have not yet started allocating the recommended 2–4% of equity portfolios to $BTC
•“They will do it, but slower than people expect”
Back also emphasized that the four-year halving cycle remains relevant and that institutions are taking a cautious, risk-managed approach.
Patience still required for the big money wave.

The four-year cycle still holds, and the old seasoned investors' faith remains.

The 12-18 month build-up period is longer than I expected.

2-4% configuration recommendation? They haven't even reached 0.5% yet, right?

Even though ETFs are already available, people are still hesitant; this level of caution is impressive.
