I can't tell if you're having a psychotic break, endirsing a specific conspiracy theory, making fun of people doing either of those, or obtusely referring to a particular stock.


I think the reaction to BitCoin in 2011 had a mix of those four, in addition to “why?”. Back then, the why brought in some libertarian utopian theory on the heels of the 2008 collapse. So, what I’m saying is that conversations on the next explosive opportunity won’t start with “why?” but instead will look like a psychotic break, conspiracy theory, parody like FartCoin, or be obtusely cloaked in jargon.


Ah, that makes sense. Still not sure I could have gotten there from just your first comment, but it coheres now that I know.
