Seeing into the future, something like...

Elon visits Bukele

Elon finally accepts Bitcoin's proposition

Elon advises Trump government

Bukele advises Elon

Elon brings Bukelism to USA

Bitcoin is adopted as Legal Tender in America

In all seriousness though, this is potentially highly significant. Elon will have seen in his travels in San Salvador, that even McDonald's accepts Bitcoin as payment, including the hotel he was staying at.

Seeing Bitcoin everywhere as a method of payment will not have gone unnoticed (surely) by Elon. He will have been induced to install Wallet of Satoshi, and then paid for a Coca-Cola with Bitcoin with Wallet of Satoshi, instantly.

And no one will have batted an eyelid.

Once you experience this yourself, Bitcoin being used as money for everyday spending and treated as totally normal, you can never un-see it.

Elon's mind would have been reeling at the potential to integrate Bitcoin into any economy, and the tools that will need to be built to make it happen. Tools built by his private army of mad software scientists.

Finally he must, surely, be disabused of his completely wrong ideas about Bitcoin.

If this is the case, the post Bukele Elon will be a much better Elon.

He will stop joking about Bitcoin, and start acting like an adult about the most fundamental problem faced by man today: THE MONEY PROBLEM.

Before man can get to mars

He must fix the money

Before man can solve poverty

He must fix the money

Before man can eliminate inflation

He must fix the money

Before man can prevent war

He must fix the money

Bitcoiners understand all of this, but Elon has not grasped it yet. Other global level execs have.

Michael Saylor, Sundar Pichai, Jack Dorsey, Cathie Wood, Larry Fink, Marc Benioff, Tim Cook, Dan Schulman and Satya Nadella have all accept the truth.

Now, finally, it is Elon's turn.

And he will be ahead of some of these because he has been to El Salvador, and has met with President Nayib Bukele.

We can only hope, amirite?

They also use USD in El Salvador. Maybe he just continues to use that.

We'll see. He'll get it sooner or later just like everyone else.

This is not an argument. It is “Whataboutism” and I suggest you do not do this, because you don’t look smart.

As for the second part, this is not about the WAIT AND SEE HODL mentality. This is about pushing Bitcoin aggressively, and not be a passive monkey sitting in the pouring rain instead of running to take shelter. It’s about actively attacking the problem, not retreating into the Bitcoin Cult, or the stomach churning, “If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.”

FASCINATING BEHAVIOUR!

Your "whataboutism" is just a difference in opinion. Your writing might get more traction if you didn't insult as much.

You seem to be imaginining a particular stereotype of bitcoiner and basically lumping anyone that disagrees with you into that pile. Good luck with that.

Correction is not insulting

Go read Mircea Popescu at Trilemma http://trilema.com/

“Not all bass players”

I don’t write for “traction”

“You seem” === you can’t read.

Amateur psychoanalysis is DERP

Go and be happy with what you believe and live by it. Don’t bother trying to school anons; write your own pieces and, “speak your last piece”.

You don’t need me; block me and…uh oh, oh no, no blocking on Nostr!

POOR LITTLE GUY, POOR LITTLE GUY.
