I don't like where the world is heading either, but let's get real:

JP Morgan is on board, now advising their investors to join in (and the bank behind Coinbase)

Fidelity is on board

Morgan Stanley is on board

Visa, MasterCard

AMEX has been using crypto to get best possible currency exchange rates for a couple years

Coinbase has a healthy relationship with the SEC and is about to get their banking charter approved for their own direct FDIC insurance, as well as IPO soon

Getting money out is NOT hard.

This is not a meme.

JP Morgan: has released a laughable whitepaper, and purchased zero bitcoin

Fidelity: Provides custody services for a fee, hasnt directly invested

Morgan Stanley: Provides custody services for a fee, hasnt directly invested

Visa, MasterCard: have made some press releases, but dont appear to actually do anything yet

AMEX has been using crypto to get best possible currency exchange rates for a couple years: source? couldnt find any evidence of this

Coinbase has a healthy relationship with the SEC: healthy enough to earn them a $6.5M fine for illegal wash trading yesterday
