What we’ve witnessed during the last few months is just how amenable high-profile investors appear to be to the bitcoin pitch. An analogy I keep coming back to is that of a focus group—you take a small sample and expose them to a certain idea or concept, and you study their reactions. If the focus group members are representative of a larger demographic, the group’s reactions can be expected to reflect the views of that larger demographic.
The results are now in; the pitch is working.
