Bitcoin is backed by a large financial institution

[HavisAlex]

In August of this year, Fidelity Investments, a $ 2.13 trillion asset manager, now a shareholder in WeWork, Snap, Uber, and SpaceX, has begun accepting Bitcoin and other currencies. This is a rare case among large financial institutions.

Accordingly, Fidelity allows customers to use the company's website to track their Bitcoin assets through a Coinbase e-wallet.

LOL. This the very reason why merit system was implemented. To remove shitposting, but they are evolving elongating their posts, copy-pasting without acknowledging the source to make it appealing.

PS. I just got to comment, because I have been seeing this kind of posts where there's no argument just a bunch of wiki-facts that had been copypasted.

just because some "institute" or whatever is accepting bitcoin it doesn't mean bitcoin is "backed" by them.
Microsoft is one of the biggest and oldest companies that has been accepting bitcoin payment and you never said "bitcoin is backed by Microsoft"!!!

Implenting bitcoin into their payment systems doesn’t mean much unfortunately unless people start paying for said products with bitcoin.

Large number of Financial Institutions are supporting Bitcoin is good move we need to appreciate this and good for market as well

No that does not mean it is backed by large financial institutions but it is very good for bitcoin because serious people can invest in bitcoin through such financial institutions.

After a little research, I found the below article from Fidelity website itself. Please see below,



It says, currently you can't invest in crypto currency in Fidelity. I am wondering how you got this news that this company is accepting bitcoin or other cryptos as a method for investment? It clearly says, they don't accept cryptos for investment.

Also if a company accepts cryptos, that certainly doesn't mean that crypto is backed up by that company. Just an FYI.
