..I don't think companies would easily back down from their investment in crypto, they are in it for the long term AFAIK.
I second that as well, I'm also concerned about how long institutional Investors joining the network intend to stay with Bitcoin, quite a lot of users have voiced their concern on the influx of these investors and if they are just going to pull out sometime soon, taking their ROI and what that will do to the Bitcoin network, negatively of course. But I beg to agree with you, it doesn't look like these investors are short term investors judging by how much money they are investing/hedging with, I also believe the network will recover and find another factor to propel it forward, evading a serious crash if these investors back out sooner rather than later.
...but what we hope is that bitcoin can overtake gold. if this could happen it seems very extraordinary and proud for us to see today.
That atm looks rather unlikely, Gold is an asset that is considered a 'safe-haven', quite a lot of people believe Bitcoin is falling into that category gradually, but for now it's not just yet there, imo, before BTC can come close to Gold, it should have been mainstream by then, and that will take a really pretty long time.
