Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block and former Twitter chief, warned that Bitcoin's increasing popularity among major financial institutions could threaten its open ethos.
Dorsey acknowledged the inevitability of more institutional involvement but hoped that people would continue to embrace the principles that made Bitcoin successful.
He emphasized the permissionless nature of Bitcoin, suggesting it provides a unique opportunity for developers to build without seeking permission from major institutions.
Dorsey expressed concern that if Bitcoin solely focuses on being a store of value and neglects its use for payments, it risks losing relevance and slipping into obscurity.
