Is crypto age (generation) related? I don’t think so. I already . So, we have the best “old school” representative, Warren Buffett, who said that “if you ... owned all of the bitcoin in the world and you offered it to me for $25, I wouldn’t take it.” Nuff said. Then, we have the “icon” of the “younger generation” of entrepreneurs who has his fun with Dogecoin. Nuff done. Elon Musk : “don’t bet the farm on crypto!” wrote about it warned us all Talking about farms and farming, Bill Gates is convinced that the whole crypto-mania is “ .” Now, I know what is fool’s gold. My wife thinks that Matthew McConaughey is pure gold in . She isn’t referring to his acting, obviously. Honestly, I had to Google the theory Bill mentioned at his TechCrunch talk on climate change. 100% based on greater fool theory that movie In finance, suggests that one can sometimes make money through the purchase of overvalued assets — items with a purchase price drastically exceeding the intrinsic value — if those assets can later be resold at an even higher price. the greater fool theory So, in plain English, you’re a fool if you buy something “stupid,” but you are a “smart fool” if you can find even a “greater fool” to sell what you bought at a higher price, which will/would be worth nothing, eventually and inevitably. Bill doubled down by making a “joke” about NFTs. “Inside the Cult of Crypto” You know how it goes. One tweet leads to another. Was that “cult quote” pulled out from THE “Financial Times,” for real? I had to check. And, that speaks volumes, doesn’t it? illustration for the article Most groups identified as cults feature a single charismatic leader, something that the crypto world lacks. But many other classic hallmarks of culthood — apocalypticism, the promise of utopia for worthy believers, shunning of external critics and vitriolic denouncement of heretical insiders — are increasingly dominant. So, crypto is an “atypical cult,” but still a cult because “another major way in which crypto-cultism differs from traditional cults is the lack of physical gatherings. Beyond events such as Bitcoin Miami and “crypto cruises”, or scattered communities like El Salvador’s bitcoin beach, cryptocurrency advocates communicate online.” And, let’s keep in mind that “the biggest difference to traditional cults is the lack of a single leader figure.” So, it’s not all that bad.

Gates owns approximately 242,000 acres of farmland But hey, it’s all about the perspective. “To put that into perspective, that’s nearly the size of Hong Kong.” The old and wise have spoken, crypto as the future of finance is broken! “And isn't it ironic... don't you think?” Yes, it is, my dear Alanis Morissette. We still haven’t figured out how to decentralize the Internet, not to mention the finances, decentralization of the farmland has already become the (next) problem. So, investing in crypto is foolish and cultish, but buying land the size of Honk Kong is … the least you can do for the “global green revolution.” OK Bill, if you say so.
