This is really good and well-written and hits on the right points. Seems like a big deal that this is a major financial institution giving a credible rendition of the saner maxi talking points. Like if Saifedean got injected with horse tranquilizer, he might have written this.
Also makes me reflect on the power of stories -- clearly these Fidelity peeps have been absorbing the narratives of the community. What started as a handful of weirdos howling into the wind has been adopted by a group with a large megaphone.
Gradually then suddenly, indeed.
Fidelity has been super bitcoin forward for awhile. They had some kind of bitcoin mining bootcamp back in 2015-17. Nic Carter is an alum and several bitcoin founders I know were in it.
I can't find a link to the program. It must've been dissolved or diluted by other blockchain interests.
