If you want to know what bitcoin is, I learned about it. A bit.

You know bitcoin is gaining mainstream traction when little boys on the idiot box feign ignorance in order to btfd.
"Either you're going to be a millionaire or you're going to be totally broke."

Considering that most people on this planet are totally broke it should be obvious which course to take.

I'd starve myself just to make sure I could get some if I had to. Supposedly lower calorie intake is correlated with higher life expectancy anyways, so that would be a win/win.

What's really sad, is that the majority of sheeple living in first world countries and still carelessly spending their hard earned money, still don't even know why it's vital just to hedge against inflation. They believe that not building wealth is why they are broke, but never consider that not hedging against inflation after a decade or three is also why they are broke.

If people bought Bitcoin as merely an inflation hedge (i.e., only expecting an avg ~6% gain per year over 5-10 years) instead of trying to "become a millionaire" they'd be much better off than not buying any at all.
