  The difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum is that Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme while Ethereum is a platform for pyramid schemes and tech people really like platforms. https://twitter.com/...

  Thiel finishes Bitcoin 2022 speech by unveiling an enemies list. (His words.) Up comes pic of Warren Buffett, who Thiel calls a “sociopathic grandpa” and “Enemy No. 1.” The crowd booes in agreement. (Buffett has called bitcoin “rat poison squared.") https://www.forbes.com/...

  ""When they choose not to allocate to bitcoin, that's a deeply political choice," Idiotic statement but not surprising considering who is uttering it. If you want to test the theory of whether an asset class can be politicized, Thiel is exhibit A. https://www.cnbc.com/...
