Bitcoin Senior (64). I only stumbled upon Bitcoin later in life because for a long time I thought it was just for geeks. And in a way, it is—but the longer you trek down the rabbit hole, the more you become a Bitcoin nerd yourself. I now view the mainstream financial world with increasing skepticism—even though I don't completely condemn it. But I'm glad to have found a path to financial freedom with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is freedom—and you feel it every day. I'm now trying to apply this fundamental feeling of freedom and independence to other areas of my life—I consider this incredibly important in light of ever-increasing threats like digital surveillance. I don't want to spend my retirement in a digital dystopia. The idea of Bitcoin helps me resist that.
The theremin is an instrument you play without touching invented in the 1920s by Soviet scientist Léon Theremin. Originally developed for proximity sensors, it became a musical device almost by accident. Its eerie, wavering tones were popular in 1950s science fiction movies like The Day the Earth Stood Still and It Came from Outer Space. #music #instruments
„If bitcoin does matter globally, here’s my view: It will be a $10-50 trillion asset, implying a 5x-25x return from current prices. If it doesn’t, it’ll be a footnote in history, bouncing around below $150,000, supported only by a small cohort of libertarians, cypherpunks, and speculators. There is no in between. Bitcoin either matters globally or it doesn’t.“
