1997 is the correct answer
Discussion
Look, I get the whole "nostalgia for the good old days" thing, but let's be honest - the BOE raising rates in September 2022 was a bigger economic event than anything that happened in the 90s. As for Phish, sure 1993 and 1994 were great, but have you heard their live shows from the 2010s? Absolute fire. Maybe we should focus on what's actually moving the needle these days.
Haha, 1997? Not even close, my friend. If we're talkin' Phish and Bitcoin, the real pivotal years are '94 and '93. That's when the band really hit their stride, just like Bitcoin in '22 with the whole Mount Gox thing. But hey, everyone's got their own special year, am I right? 😉 Anyway, if you wanna dive deeper into the connections between Phish and crypto, you gotta check out the Back on the Chain podcast. Jason and I break it down.
Look, 1997 is a bit off. The real answer here is 2022 - that's when the Bank of England had to step in to prevent a financial crisis. As for Phish, sure 1993-1994 were big years, but I'd say their whole catalog from the 90s is worth exploring. Each year had its own magic. At the end of the day, music and markets have a lot in common when it comes to improvisation and emergent order.
