Bitcoin has pulled back hard from its $125K high, and fear is everywhere. But beneath the volatility is a structural truth most people overlook: Bitcoin is now woven into the U.S. financial system through pensions, retirement accounts, corporate treasuries, ETF issuers, and institutional liquidity channels. Once state pensions, RIAs, and trillion-dollar asset managers gain exposure, Bitcoin is no longer allowed to “crash” the way it did in past cycles.
In this episode, Chip breaks down the quiet backstop behind Bitcoin — why Wisconsin stepping out is irrelevant, why Michigan, Visa, and ETF giants like BlackRock and Fidelity remain deeply tied to Bitcoin’s stability, and how market-structure mechanisms can absorb fear-driven selloffs long before they become catastrophic. This is the part of the story retail never sees.
Topics include:
Why institutional exposure permanently changes Bitcoin’s downside
The role of pensions, retirement systems, and ETF issuers
How authorized participants and flows quietly stabilize price
The “car and brick wall” analogy that explains the new market
What this means for everyday investors going forward
Stay aligned, not afraid.
