Which is bad news for me, because I nearly pissed myself laughing.

I am sort of a true believer, I try to play the market but really I should just leave my fucking money in Bitcoin and never look at it for 10 years

Bitcoin floats on FOMO now. Value goes up because people are buying into it afraid of missing out the rise in its value. So it’s very volatile and prone to crashes based on emotions.

All the earlier promises and allusions of Bitcoin replacing paper money and changing the world are gone, now it’s supposed to replace gold.

Cryptocurrencies have increased our collective greenhouse gas emissions and enercy consumption by an unreasonably large amount. There is no way cryptocurrencies as they stand to survive a change into a sustainable/disastrous future. Their adoption would accelerate their demise from lack of resources and severe climate change, via societal collapse.

There's an Eric Andre style self-effacing that makes it all work
