    What is money?

    Various goods and services.

    But right now it's more of a speculative instrument, or hedge against inflation, or a means of bypassing currency controls in unfriendly countries.

    It kind of slipped under the radar somehow? But a dude burned himself alive at Trump's trial to bring attention to BTC ponzi theory. GOOD LUCK

    You didn't hear about that? It was right in the courtroom but the sketch artists really struggled to get the flames and smoke to look convincing, so a lot of media outlets skipped the story.

    If he had said 2030 (post 5th halving) he'd almost certainly be right.

    500K by 2027 is probably a coinflip. We're about to hit this epoch's bullrun, but I don't think we make it to 500K.
