Listening to the radio this am (yes, actual radio) a mock Q&A with a financial advisor comes on.

Host: So Trump recently announced a strategic #bitcoin stockpile. The US government has also had other stockpiles. They used to have a cheese stockpile and gave out cheese. And there's a helium stockpile too.

Advisor: On bitcoin, it can be used as a hedge on inflation when it goes up, but realize it can also go down.

Me: Get ready for the, "I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole..."

Advisor: Between cheese, helium, and bitcoin, I'll take bitcoin.

Me: Wait, what?

Advisor:

Me: Wow, this guy kinda gets it.

He didn't go all orange pilled, he was trying to drum up business, but that sounded like baby steps. When I asked my financial advisor his opinion on bitcoin somewhere around 2017, the response I got was, "...not backed by anything..." and "tulips". Slow progress y'all.
