In some ways it reminds me of tulipmania.
But my real observation is not that bitcoin is such a good thing, it is that EVERYTHING ELSE IS SO BAD.
Yeah.
I remember back in the late 80’s, as a COBOL programmer I was making about $48k a year. One of my buddies said that we were paid too much. I said, “No. The problem is that the dollars we are paid in are worth so little.”
Still, that was a lot of money to be making off a $2,100 ten month course on COBOL/IMS.
It almost quadrupled by Y2k. College is soooo 20th century. :-)
