I have 90+% of my net worth in bitcoin, it would be far easier to buy a ferrari with bitcoin for me. I don't need a car though.

I imagine there are about 4 other people like you though. Weird nieche to be targeting.

  Ferrari sells around 10k cars per year, they already are in a weird niche. Maybe they understand their business better than you do.

    Maybe, or maybe they’re going to sell 10,004 cars a year. Seems more like a marketing stunt than anything.

    Well, clearly, that doesn't make it any less weird.

  >4 other people like you though You'd be surprised. You obviously haven't been to a crypto conference.

  I think you would be surprised. Can we stop the cryptocurrency hate and start trying to see something positive in it? We are not all criminals and thugs. This is becoming so tiresome. I am the other one in that 4 group of people it seems

    Sorry, I defended crypto vehemently for years, but against a growing mountain of evidence and no serious use-cases after exhausting countless engineering hours and VC… it kinda seems like a scam at this point.

      After so many years you still don't realize how privileged you are? You have no worries about runaways inflation, you have access to a functioning banking system, your are not concerned about having your wealth stolen, you have no problems sending money anywhere you want to. Makes one wonder what you defended all those years, perhaps scammy ICOs and NFTs? Oh well, that you spoke of "crypto" and not bitcoin already made that likely.

    Nah, especially in tech, people are too invested in hating bitcoin. They'd have to admit to being wrong to change their tune, which will likely never happen.

      Probably has something to do with finally coming out of the conjoined coin scams and NFT blockchain brain rot that crypto bros spent countless hours trying to manipulate financially illiterate people into being left to hold the bag on their rug pulls that were exposed on a bi-weekly basis, or something. Cute little speculative toy though :)

        Yeah, when people confuse bitcoin with NFTs or believe that keeping bitcoin on centralized exchanges is normal, or that "smart contracts" are the future, I can understand that they see no value. Too bad you listened to "crypto" people, not bitcoiners, but that was your choice.
