> hyperbitcoinized world,

sorry to say it, but that will happen only when people will understand Darth's memes :)

If we are talking about Bitcoin Core developers, its hard for me to imagine the idea of Quaker Oats having a Bitcoin Core developer as realistic.

If we are talking about someone on staff having general Bitcoin technical knowledge in a hyperbitcoinized world, sure.

In fact, if and when Bitcoin gets big, having a dedicated dev deeply involved in Bitcoin will probably become pretty normal for large companies rather than not.

After all, we'd generally find it more acceptable for big companies to direct resources toward common goods — Bitcoin being one — than not to. It's like how we expect them to contribute to the Linux kernel.
