don't see it as extreme either.
In fact, if and when Bitcoin gets big, having a dedicated dev deeply involved in Bitcoin will probably become pretty normal for large companies rather than not.
After all, we'd generally find it more acceptable for big companies to direct resources toward common goods — Bitcoin being one — than not to. It's like how we expect them to contribute to the Linux kernel.
If we are talking about Bitcoin Core developers, its hard for me to imagine the idea of Quaker Oats having a Bitcoin Core developer as realistic.
If we are talking about someone on staff having general Bitcoin technical knowledge in a hyperbitcoinized world, sure.
hyperbitcoinized world,
sorry to say it, but that will happen only when people will understand Darth's memes :)
IIRC it was literally every company in the world or some such thing.
I dont think it is realistic.
IMHO every company involved somehow (in this transition period) into Bitcoin should participate at least to a fund for Bitcoin development like OpenSats or whatever.
Is preferable to NOT pay taxes to criminals but paying a small % to open source devs.
I do not see that as so extreme. I think is reasonable. The only thing is who will decide what these developers will implement in the Bitcoin code.
