Do you ever reflect on just how much time the world is losing by ignoring bitcoin?
I mean, we know that’s the way it is - adoption curves are a thing…
But the longer it takes to reach the 50% inflection on adoption, the more the world suffers. The opportunity cost is so, so much more than lost wealth - it’s literal loss of life. Heartbeats. Slaves to working, oppressive regimes in all forms, a lack of hope.
We have the “legend” memes describing what our future generations will think of those of us who saw, recognized, learned, and adopted early. But the opportunity cost that most will endure means we are not going to be spending much time taking about us early adopters, but the woe the world endured by not adopting. It will be, at best, the way we think of oppressive monarchies in a time of democracy.
Sometimes it just hits you. I guess this thought of yours, Lyn, triggered it.
