That's why it's bad to rely on anecdotes. Car theft is up in 2019 and 2020 in the US https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-auto-the...

The FDIC is a government agency created after bank runs were common during the Depression. This is much different, nothing has been "reinvented".

They work great to charge my Android. One day MacBook chargers may even charge iPhones!

Everyone that owns (is "enrolled" in) AAPL is "incentivized to get other people to buy" Apple products, just like BTC. These were the only 2 reasons you've ever given for why BTC i…
