 MOST OF THESE SUITS HAVE NEVER WITNESSED TRUE SCARCITY IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL LIVES.

IT IS GOING TO HIT THEM LIKE A BAG OF BRICKS.

 I don't know... given the air they breathe, it might be really hard for them to truly grasp.

They understand some of the implications, for sure, or there would be no "anti-crypto army" and FinCen regulations, but I don't think they can conceive of true financial decentralization.
