Part 10/15:
Wall Street’s traditional powers desperately try to repackage Bitcoin into synthetic instruments—ETFs, structured notes, shadow claims—to preserve leverage and control. However, these are ultimately hollow, disconnected from the real asset, and easily suppressed or circumvented.
Stretch threatens to undo this entire façade by enabling genuine collateralization of Bitcoin that is verifiable in real time and immune to printer-driven inflation or opaque rehypothecation. The self-reinforcing scarcity cycle built into Stretch and similar protocols could accelerate the de-coupling of Bitcoin from the old financial rails.
