What do you think will happen if...

[STT]

Ultimately its the people not companies that matter most.  I think if large investors stay away we move slower but thats not a cap to progress ultimately only the pace will be slower, also consider that some operators can be a burden even obstructive and sometimes its better if we stick more organic growth then dollar rich investors.   
  People who want to invest, profit and sell all in a couple years aren't often half as productive as someone who is around for years to come in good and bad markets.  BTC always has its lull and sell off so thats the only person and operator who matters in the end, the long term involved and interested.

Yeah, I think Bitcoin can do well without institutional investors, but I doubt it is as expensive as it is right now without them. Without those companies buying Bitcoin in bulk, the price wouldn't have shot really high. Institutions can pour huge amounts as hundreds of millions or even a billion dollars into Bitcoin. Those amounts are hard to hit with retail buyers alone, especially considering how low Bitcoin adoption still is around the world. But it can very well thrive without them.

But what are the reasons institutional investors are going to get out of crypto? in fact they earn more profit in crypto and continue to maintain their holdings in crypto. If they leave, nothing will change. there are still many other investors who will enter. Bitcoin is a popular digital currency that has many investors, and of course there will be many who support bitcoin in the future. When full adoption takes place, bitcoin will become more popular and more new investors will come in. So no need to worry about it

What do you think will happen to crypto if institutional investors all decide to stay away from crypto investment this time around? Do you think crypto can surge of it's own especially Bitcoin without the help of institutional investors money, do not yab me for this question, I am not sure what will happen I only need people's different opinions.

Anyone who yab you for asking questions you know nothing about has a low IQ, nobody, I repeat, nobody is an island of knowledge and that's why we are all here, this is why the forum is here for everyone to learn and share knowledge.
Now back to your question, first you should know that institutional investors wouldn't live bitcoin, you know why? they don't take their eye from anywhere they can see profit, they all have a margin position open at lower prices of bitcoin and they are also holding some BTC as part of their risk management investments. However, if they choose to live, we may suffer some decline in price but it will be an advantage in the long run for people and more room for decentralization.

It's true Bitcoin is a promising coin and very worthy for long term investment,
so indeed we don't need to worry if investors leave us because there are still many investors who believe in Bitcoin,
we never know what the future will be like and it is not impossible that Bitcoin will be able to develop even further.

[xSkylarx]

I can't find the percentage of institutional investors in Bitcoin, but the result on Google is roughly 50%, so it is really huge, and if they sell off, then it would decrease the price. Though I am not sure of the data, I think it is impossible for them to sell off or stay away from bitcoin as it plays a big factor for them. Also, for sure, those institutional investors are not of the same mind, so mostly there are only a few of them if they want to do this.

Yes, bitcoin can remain ever valuable and cherished without any institution, this is one of the ways to proof to you that bitcoin is actually a decentralized network and currency, it does bot rely on anyone, be it person or place to create value, as long as it maintain it protocols that guide the network people will always key into it adoption and invest because what triggered them from the first instance is the financial freedom from this institutional bodies.

[ethereumhunter]

If many people are still using crypto, especially bitcoin, crypto will keep going and maybe even jump higher. But the thinking of institutional investors is how they can get a bigger profit from any source and I doubt they will leave crypto, especially for those who have felt the benefits of crypto so far. They will continue to invest in crypto and look for more opportunities to make even bigger profits.

[KiaKia]

Nothing will happen, because bitcoin never raised any funds in the beginning to promote the project, it was backed and supported by the community and institutional investors where never there from the beginning, they don't believe in what Bitcoin is all about, I think altcoins will be affected without the help of this so called institutional investors but not Bitcoin.

True, they need a good reason why they should leave bitcoin. And even if they leave bitcoin I think it will be temporary and eventually they will come back to invest in bitcoin. Now I even see the opposite, not that they are exiting bitcoin, but many are coming in to join and become bitcoin investors.
Those who already feel the advantages when they are in bitcoin, it will be difficult for them to leave bitcoin because they know what the advantages are.

[BenCodie]

That would ultimately be a good thing. Institutional investors do not seek to stay involved with bitcoin for a long time. They don't plan to use it as a day to day, peer to peer alternative currency as it is intended. They intend to profit. If they buy low, they will sell high. They will not buy and use it within the ecosystem. That's why so many bitcoin-on-paper options have been created away from spot markets. No institutions = good for bitcoin.

I don't think that will happen and all institutional investors will be willing not to touch bitcoin. They are all driven by greed and there will always be those who invest in btc among them. Why? Because bitcoin has shown insane returns that they won't turn down for anything.

That psychological barrier when institutional investors stayed away from btc has been overcome and having tried these opportunities, they will no longer be able to turn back.

Even if we simulate a situation where there are no institutional investors, bitcoin's price will still grow. Not as fast, but it will. Because there are a lot of people who are willing and able to buy btc in the world. Each purchase will push the price up little by little.

[Adbitco]

At first this might be very difficult to happen, and even if it happens then I will say those who have been wanting it at a platter of Gold will utilize the opportunities and bag it up, mainwhile bitcoin is too exposed to experience such a tremendous rejection. But one thing certain is that if everyone decides to pull out their investment from the crypto market then there will be no liquidity to keep it afloat and automatically it became worthless. However, this will never happen because bitcoin has grown over that stage of difficulties.

The institutional investors move the market, I'll not actually know what will be the fate of the market but I do think that the market price will be stabled and no much volatility which will of course be a disadvantage to the traders but may encourage adoption of bitcoin since the price will be somewhat stable.
I don't know if any other person is thinking my way.

You mean you can't find the exact data? Well, I think that's normal and all that we see in the web are only just an estimation but they are still close to the exact number so they can still be reliable. 50 percent is huge. I expect something lesser than this because I believe that institutional investors prefer a traditional investment instrument such as stocks and these kinds of assets are also more legal that in Bitcoin.

Many of them might sell off once the bull market returns but I think you are right that they won't sell all together as some has a higher standards the other. Even without their help, a normal individual can still invest continuously so BTC price can always rise.

It's true Bitcoin is a promising coin and very worthy for long term investment,
so indeed we don't need to worry if investors leave us because there are still many investors who believe in Bitcoin,
we never know what the future will be like and it is not impossible that Bitcoin will be able to develop even further.

Remember that bitcoin is still under development and it will continue. Bitcoin will be a promising Trillion Dollar digital money market in the future. Old investors leave and more new investors will enter. There is nothing to lose if you make a long term investment. who leaves bitcoin today then he will regret it later when Bitcoin reach new ATH.

If institutional investors decided to stay away from crypto then there will be a temporary negative impact on the cryptocurrency market.  The growth of crypto industry is not only driven by institutional investors.  There are still lots of factors that affect the growth of the crypto market.  To mention some, they are:

1.  Retail investors
2.  Technological innovation
3.  Government regulation
4.  Economic condition
5.  Media coverage
6.  Partnership and collaboration

There are lots more factors that can bring new people towards the Bitcoin industry so I believe institutional investors is just a small percentage of the pie if cryptocurrency had achieved a full-blown adoption.

Questions that are probable will of course produce answers with probabilities.
If all institutional investors leave crypto, it is likely that investors from certain parties, both governments and individuals, will invest. It's just that at this time many parties are still considering not investing because they are unable to control the crypto value played by certain investors.
I think one day everyone will come in to invest in crypto, not leave it.

I suppose the price will still go up but it will not be as dramatic as we are used to, the halving will keep happening and this will decrease the amount of bitcoin miners get, and regardless of how efficient they can get miners still incur high costs and they will not sell for a loss, if anything this slower growth will be more healthy for bitcoin because it would encourage regular people to invest in it now its movements are not as abrupt, compensating a little bit for the loss of institutional investors.

It relies on everyone, and that's a bit different than relying on someone. It is not relying on "no one", that would mean that we do not matter, but we do, but we matter in a much larger capacity, there is no single person that could make it work, it's basically everyone at the same time and that's an important thing, because it means that we all matter at the same time in the same way.

However, we need to also realize that we are herded a bit as well whenever big names do something. Like look at ethereum and proof of stake, everyone talked about how great it was, and we believed, but how many really knew how well it would work? It was just said to be good and that's it, nothing more.
