Bitcoin is definitely getting hijacked to a degree. With what intention, I honestly don't know but it's more about keeping the power where it belongs (not in the hands of the people) rather than the economic incentive
We've seen blackrock and vanguard take massive PnL hits in the past in order to push agendas or keep people in line
Yep. Particularly if any progress is made in "bringing to life" the idea of a "Bitcoin Reserve," i.e. the digital / virtual version of Fort Knox.
BTC is, afterall, well known as being referred to as "digital gold."
Those incentived to pump include national government of US now.
Only a BTC pump can absorb the t-bills necessary.... (Via usdt etc)
