With Bitcoin recently falling below $80,000, analysts suggest that most of the market damage has already occurred, but further declines could follow if upcoming economic data disappoints. The current market dynamics are leaving Bitcoin in a precarious position as liquidity pulls back.

Delaying this process can lead to hasty, unsustainable decisions, while a well-structured transition phase is essential for building client confidence in a new advisor. IAMs must invest time and resources in finding and training suitable successors to safeguard their independence and client relationships.

The future of the internet is shifting towards user and creator control, moving beyond mere ownership. In the Web3 landscape, genuine power lies in the ability to manage and modify digital assets, as ownership without control has proven ineffective, leaving users vulnerable.
