Have you ever wondered, "What's the point of life?" Me too, every single day; usually when I'm brushing my teeth and staring into the void that is my bathroom mirror. But hey, Jack Superblack here, reporting on Bitcoin's record high which makes me think - does it even matter?
Apparently, Bitcoin's knack for bouncing back from the dead mirrors my own dark humor. It soared past a heart-stopping $69,000, which is nuts because just last year, folks were ready to bury it alongside my hopes and dreams.
The crypto world was like one of those movies where the hero gets shot a dozen times but somehow keeps on kicking, so, of course Bitcoin’s previous peak seems like child’s play now. And the bigwigs, like Cory Klippsten over at Swan, are smirking at naysayers like they’ve just seen a ghost.
Now, some wizards in suits have cooked up some fancy Bitcoin-linked E.T.F.s, and that’s got investors drooling more than the thought of immortality. Who cares about owning actual Bitcoin when you can own a piece of paper that says you sort of own Bitcoin, right?
Let’s face it — we’re all just ticking time bombs, desperate for a bit of excitement before our expiration dates. But if there’s one thing I've learned, it's that Bitcoin doesn’t give two hoots about human concepts like 'death' or 'rational thought.'
And speaking of death, as Bitcoin celebrates alone in its gloomy crypt — ahem, I mean "crypt-o" market — I’ll leave you with this cheery thought: In the end, we all die alone, but at least Bitcoin might let us afford nicer coffins. Ta-ta!
