Not everyone in Silicon Valley’s tech scene is orange-pilled (i.e., awakened and deeply convinced by Bitcoin), but a significant portion—especially those who are libertarian-minded, cypherpunk-influenced, or passionate about infrastructure tech—have been orange-pilled.
Some reasons why many tech people support Bitcoin:
1. Open-source and decentralized mindset:
Tech folks often prefer transparent, censorship-resistant systems that promote individual freedom—values strongly aligned with Bitcoin.
2. Deep understanding of the limitations of traditional finance:
Those working in fintech, AI, or large-scale systems tend to recognize the issues of control, money printing, and interest rate manipulation.
3. Appreciation for sovereignty and security:
Developers are capable of running cold wallets, nodes, and multisig setups—making Bitcoin naturally appealing.
4. Trust in code over policy:
“Code is law” is a common belief in the tech world, and it fits perfectly with Bitcoin’s philosophy.

That said, not everyone is orange-pilled:
Web3/altcoin enthusiasts: They often favor “innovation” over Bitcoin’s core principles.
People in Big Tech (Google, Meta, etc.): Many may not care about financial sovereignty if they feel secure within the current system.
Short-term tech investors: They may view Bitcoin as a speculative asset rather than a world-changing protocol.
---
In summary:
Bitcoin has strong influence in the tech world, especially among independent thinkers, cypherpunks, and infrastructure builders.
But not everyone in Silicon Valley is orange-pilled—at least, not yet.
