> who is sometimes misunderstood ("funding secured", "pedo guy", "Autopilot"). Did I misunderstand when I thought he was a liar in two out of three of those cases?
And I am curious which one of these is flexible enough to be construed as a truth.
In a way, buying Bitcoin is a bet on the timing of quantum computing.
Interesting comment! Note that there are cryptographers out there working on blockchains that are quantum resistant: David Chaum for example and its "xx" blockchain (which is still in beta but already has a few hundreds nodes running).
Since when medieval people invented Jets before the tech for Jet comes out!!
Sounds like Scam!
This is going to be one of those events that everyone points back to after the crash to show we had reached peak bubble. Like AOL buying Time Warner etc.
Yep. GME, SPACs, creative accounting, prices disconnected from earnings. There are so many signs now that we’re living through a bubble, and it may get much worse before it implodes.

I know about the fallacies of predicting the market. I understand 20/20 hindsight. But to actually experience it is such a strong lesson. To be flooded with, "ohhh I'm such an idiot!" and then think about how there's just no way I coul…

Tesla is not about being good for the env. It's about making money. Same thing with SpaceX not being about going to Mars. It's about making money too! The going to Mars/ good for env stories are to get some public goodwill behind them from a certain crowd.
Both companies were unlikely to succeed (and nearly failed). To me that is a strong indicator that profit is not the primary objective.
