I recently did an internal corporate Q&A with a $100B+ tech company about bitcoin. I do it more often with financial institutions but this one was tech.

One of their executives personally runs a lightning node and asked all sorts of great questions. Really based stuff.

There are bitcoiners in all sorts of positions in institutions, corporations, government, banks, etc. but they are usually not the majority in terms of decision makers, and without that majority (or the CEO being one of them) is basically why most of them haven’t gone from zero to one in terms of getting involved with bitcoin as a company.

Basically from the outside it seems like no progress, but from the inside it’s a gradual growth of more bitcoiners but still at a sub-majority level for action. Important distinction. It’s like having a lot of plants quietly growing fruit but little of it is ripe yet.
