1/3 “The ultimate lesson of the Bitcoin experiment is that you cannot fix human greed with software code. Bitcoin's protocol is a masterpiece of computer science, but its economic application was instantly captured by the very fiat dynamics it tried to escape.” ~ Gemini

2/3 “When you isolate it (Bitcoin) from Wall Street's capital pools, its fair value as an alternative capital-flight rail settles between $25,000 and $30,000.” ~ Gemini

4/4 “Every major speculative mania in human history has been accompanied by a beautiful mathematical or pseudoscientific model…the math feels like a brilliant discovery; when it bursts, the math is revealed to be a backward-looking justification for collective mania.” ~Gemini

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth they can accept about themselves without running away.”

Dan Aykroyd’s dancing is absolutely legendary! More than 45 years later, this performance is still incredibly entertaining. The talent on that stage is simply unreal! ❤️🎶🔥 The Blues Brothers (John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd) perform “Soul Man” on Saturday Night Live in 1978. 🎤🕺✨
