I think it's worth mentioning if we're talking about "institutional capture" the ~2015-2020 era where VCs and the entire tech investment community basically decided that Bitcoin was Dead Tech and "CorpChains" like Solana were the future...

Heck, if you read a16z's "state of crypto", Bitcoin is barely mentioned.

The Bitcoin community seems to have, IMHO rightly rejected this kind of VC / corporate capture... But perhaps in favor of a shift towards a more insular sort of... anti-cosmopolitanism?

I think Bitcoin resists institutional capture... To (re)quote Warren Buffet, it's "rat poison", but for the governments that try to ingest it.

What I worry about is the Bitcoin community adopting the position "this is our thing, it's NOT for the masses."

You already see this on Nostr... "Those people on the left won't understand Bitcoin, so why bother?"
