Bitcoin OG Adam Back: Does state endorsement go against Bitcoin's original intent? On April 30, 2026, Bitcoin OG Adam Back (@adam3us) shared his thoughts in an interview with Cointelegraph regarding the question of whether sovereign nations rapidly accumulating Bitcoin and endorsing it contradicts its original purpose. He stated that this is actually an inevitable sign of Bitcoin's success. According to him, much like the internet and cryptographic technologies, innovations designed to shift the balance of power are initially driven by early adopters, but over time, they are inevitably embraced by higher-level entities like governments.
