A lot of people in tech are too close to it to really understand. As I mentioned salaries are already high and people are used to following the rules and playing the game, so for the most part they have never 'needed' something like bitcoin.

The danger of a technocracy (government by technicians who are guided solely by the imperatives of this tech) is that we build the wrong technology. Arguably the challenges of the last two years have highlighted the dangers of this.

Regardless, an entire application layer will be getting built out in the coming decade upon Lightning and Bitcoin and most tech people have not really woken up to that yet. There is some huge opportunity for startups and new ventures in this space and I am actively looking for opportunities myself to become involved!
