If you have bought a new iPhone every year since 2011, you have spent $8,337.

Now if you took the same amount of money you spent back then and bought #Bitcoin  instead, you would have stacked 33.9146 #Bitcoin , now worth $2,117,257.38

It's not about luck, it's about priorities and education. Stack #Bitcoin, not IPhones.

And by the way: IPhones got a lot cheaper on a #Bitcoin  Standard and increased tremendously for Fiat folks.

And yet I bet that same client will probably roll their eyes if you try to say anything about Nostr.

Predictions by economists that failed spectacularly:

Telephones:

In 1876 Western Union, the largest American telegraph company, refused to buy Graham Bell's patent for one hundred thousand dollars, arguing that people are not savy enough to handle a phone: "Bell expects that the public will use his instrument without the aid of trained operators. Any telegraph engineer will at once see the fallacy of this plan. The public simply cannot be trusted to handle technical communications equipment. A group of British experts thought somewhat differently: The telephone may be appropriate for our American cousins, but not here, because we have an adequate supply of messenger boys."

Lightbulbs:

A few years later, a committee of the British Parliament evaluated Thomas Edison's lightbulb and concluded that it would be "good enough for our trans-Atlantic friends … but unworthy of the attention of practical or scientific men."

Trains:

Rail travel at high speed is not possible because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia [suffocation]." Dr. Dionysius Lardner (1793-1859), professor at University College London, and author of a book on the steam engine, was one of several doctors who prophesized that the rapid movement of trains would cause death or brain trouble among travelers and vertigo among onlookers.

Cars:

Car pioneer Gottieb Daimler (1834-1900) believed that there would never be more than one million cars worldwide because of the lack of available drivers. Daimler based this prediction on the false assumption that cars would have to be operated by chauffeurs.

Computers:

Howard Aiken, who constructed the Mark I computer for IBM in 1943, reminisced: "Originally one thought that if there were a half dozen large computers in this country, hidden away in research laborato-ries, this would take care of all requirements we had throughout the country. This prediction was based on the false assumption that computers would solve scientific problems on.

How many ‘experts’ called #Bitcoin  a scam and called it dead?

It happened again, but doesn't matter:

No role but mocking the importance ascribed to him when the his performance on Twitter will bring in new signups handing over data without a second thought - transgression is absorbed and repackaged back as a consumer choice

Props to Elon - he's playing a different game. Rile up everyone into a chimp contest of r-tards claiming who is more based/racist etc all the while building the Everything App - monetizing the simulated conflict and keeping it within the logic of the new cybernetic system.

The Eye of Sauron is upon us but wait everyone is holding mock inquisitorial trials of who is more racist and charging peasants $5 a month via their Patreon for the viewing pleasure.

For every peasant the most important question on the Right or Left right now is who is more racist and they charge people and game the algorithm on this basis.

Alex Jones really matters when you'll happily transfer your biometrics, financial statements, bank account and passport ID to Twitter within the next five years.
