the phone call that changes everything

a year ago, every major bank in america refused to touch bitcoin.

last week, michael saylor stood on stage and listed who's called him in the past six months: jpmorgan. citi. wells fargo. bank of america. charles schwab. bny mellon.

they're not calling to debate. they're calling to build.

this is the pattern hiding in plain sight.

adoption doesn't happen gradually. it happens all at once, after years of nothing. the phone doesn't ring, doesn't ring, doesn't ring—then everyone calls on the same Tuesday.

the shift from "we don't do that" to "how do we do that" happens faster than anyone expects.

and it never feels like the moment you imagined.

no confetti. no vindication speech. just a calendar full of meetings with the people who used to say no.

the early believers always think mainstream adoption will feel like winning.

it doesn't feel like winning.

it feels like Tuesday.

the same Tuesday everyone else finally shows up.
