The average marriage lasts 8 years with estimated 22% ending due to finances. Diamonds lose value the moment you drive them off the lot. On the other hand, Bitcoin is up 40,000% in the last 8 yrs. So, do you cherish your relationship or do you want to die alone? #putabitcoinonit

I said the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at a price to ever get 40,000% return. 40,000% return on $40K means Bitcoin would be worth $16 million each. That’s not even remotely possible.

Anything is possible.

No, $16 million per Bitcoin is literally not possible. It’s simple economics, not a dig on Bitcoin. Zimbabwean money is basically worthless, so that’s a bad analogy for you. That barely bought a loaf of bread when issued, and now sells for ~$300 online as a novelty collectible.

What happened in Zimbabwe can happen in the US. When #Bitcoin is $16 million, you might also be buying a cup of coffee for $2000. You can't only depend on #BTC's rising value relative to other hard assets. You also observe USD's purchasing power decline.

This is the dumbest convo I’ve ever entertained. I am dumbfounded this is an actual convo I’m having to have, let alone with someone “in” crypto. Bitcoin will never be $16 million. A coffee will never be $2,000. Ridiculous, implausible scenarios aren’t the way to promote crypto.

Who should I believe the CEO of Kraken or Sara Lauren? though call this one..
