We don't have direct access to the US stock market here in South Africa, you have to do it through shitty local ETFs and we also have capital controls, which is why a lot of South Africans hold shit local stocks that underperform like crazy in USD terms, but in local terms people think they're getting shit rich on paper

Some people still have hope in these assets because they can't see the difference between real returns and nominal returns and Bitcoin just looks like a volatility circus
