Bitcoin is properly bubble territory imo. Mental that a puzzle can have a mrket cap of trillions
Want to know about Bitcoins ?
A load of monkeys lived near a village.
One day a merchant came to the village to buy these monkeys.
He announced that he will buy the monkeys for $100 each.
The villagers thought that this man was mad.
They thought how can somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each?
Still, some people caught some monkeys and gave them to this merchant and he gave them $100 for each monkey.
This news spread like wildfire and people caught more monkeys and sold them to the merchant.
After a few days, the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys for $200 each.
The lazy villagers who had not bothered before now ran around to catch the remaining monkeys!
They sold the remaining monkeys for $200 each.
Then the merchant announced that he will buy the monkeys for $500 each!
The villagers started to lose sleep! … They caught six or seven monkeys, which was all that was left and got $500 each.
The villagers were waiting anxiously for the next announcement.
Then the merchant announced that he is going home for a week. And when he returns, he will buy the monkeys for $1000 each
He asked his employee to take care of the monkeys he bought.
The employee was alone taking care of all the monkeys in a cage and the merchant went home.
The villagers were very sad as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell at $1000 each.
Then the employee told them that he will sell some monkeys back to them at $700 each secretly.
This news spread like wild fire. Since the merchant will now buys monkey for $1000 each, there is a $300 profit for each monkey.
The next day, villagers made a queue near the monkey cage.
The employee sold all the monkeys at $700 each.
The rich villagers bought monkeys in big lots and the poor ones borrowed money from money lenders and also bought monkeys!
The villagers took care of their monkeys & waited for the merchant to return.
But nobody came so they ran to the employee.
But he has already left too !
The villagers then realised that they have bought the useless stray monkeys at $700 each and were unable to sell them!
The Bitcoin will be the next monkey business. It will make a lot of people bankrupt and a few people filthy rich in this monkey business.
So there you are.
Boeing shares are going for a steal. Fill your boots
The press don’t know what to do with him, he doesn’t quite fit any of their boxes. They can’t neatly sum up ‘already rich guy is smarter than most and makes more money, and shows possible signs of genuine altruism, whilst also being a floored human being and calling someone Pedo Guy’

Amps already rich guy is smarter than most and makes more money,
The fact that his father was slightly wealthy is such a dumb stick to beat him with - people who attempt to use it to try and claim that it significantly undermines or discredits what he’s done are just advertising their own stupidity and lack of imagination.
It’s been speculated that his dad was maybe worth in the region of about $5-10million, though of course Elon would not have been able to receive all of that. His dad supposedly invested $28k as part of him starting his first business.
So what? Ultimately, how many people out there have managed to generate a net wealth that is around 30,000x the wealth of their parents?!
For some equivalence for the average nobody who likes to complain about such things out of envy and to try and make them feel better about their own inadequacies, the average net wealth of a US household is about $100k. For someone from such a background to match Elon’s achievement in growth terms, they’d still have needed to have built a net worth of about $2billion. Oh, and maybe their dad might have invested $280. The vast majority of people are unlikely to even achieve 2x the net wealth of their parents, let alone 30,000x.

zackster it seems to have been entitled ‘A Soundtrack for Space Travel’.
