It’s allowed to look decentralized/secure so long as it functions primarily as a supervised store of value and speculative asset, not a mass medium of exchange outside compliance rails.&#xA;&#xA;Bitcoin’s design is decentralized in protocol, but the real-world control surface has shifted into layers above consensus: pools, clouds, app stores, and custody perimeters. These are the quiet levers that steer usage without changing the code.</html></oembed>
