This is a part of bitcoin I'm fascinated by. There are alot of meetups, venues that are all signal right now - developing and building things that may change the world.
I do think it is much more mainstream now than ever before, but only from the ETF angle.
All those buying real bitcoin seem to be building subcultures around the world - and I think this is positively propelling things forward. Exciting to see certain layer 2s and above take off by solving real world problems.
