I remember back in 2019, when a former hedgefund manager (friend's dad) asked in disbelief: "So there will NEVER be a supply increase, beyond 21 million BTC?!" Me: "correct" Tiger Cub: [begins converting a large single-digit percentage of his assets from Dollarydoos to BTC]. ---- Early 2023, I'm asked "so this ChatGPT thing, who else besides NVDA is making all the hardware?" Me: "awkshually, NVDA nor Apple nor AMD actually make their microchips — it's TSMC, using ASML machines. You should look at MSFT's recent $1,000,000,000 investment into OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT." [a few days later, MSFT announces additional $10B over a decade investment] ---- His family chartitable foundation gave away so much money this past year [for tax reasons == profits]. ---- My take on bitcoin, having been a fungible user since 2012: it's not that BTC protocols are "so great" (they're not); rather, it's that fiat currency is so terrible... is why I HODL.
