The correct action then, is not to short BTC (which continues its inexorable exponential rise) but to short mankind, which apparently peaked around 1969.

LOL on shorting mankind. What happened in 1969?

I think '71 was the year Nixon severed the dollar from silver once and for all.

From gold. Silver certificates could no longer be redeemed for metal after 24 June 1968.

IIRC we made it to the moon in July of '69. Also, I think the U.S. median standard of living peaked about that time.

MLK Jr. was assassinated in 1968, Nixon elected, Timothy Leary arrested. Elvis went to Las Vegas. AIDS came to the U.S. Overall the end of the '60s was a very unfortunate turning point.
But the deathknell for mankind was undoubtedly captured on videotape, thusly: What's New Pussycat?

You do know the motivation for going to the moon don't you?

The following is a better example of Tom from 1969 although he was second fiddle. Cool
