    Crypto-whatsit? Is that something from one of Bobby’s vid’ya games?

    It’s a new form of money, Hank. VIRTUAL MONEY.

    Well, excuse me, Dale, but here where I live, in the REAL WORLD, we already have a perfectly fine money. It’s called AMERICAN DOLLARS and it works just fine, I tell ya h’wat.

    You say that now, Hank, but wait until the cyber-swarm-uprising of 2034 comes and replaces your precious “real world” with a virtualsphere so indiscernible from what you think you know as real! Wake up and see what’s coming on the horizon!

    Can you see me kicking your ass on the horizon?

    Maybe, but I kinda think Dale wouldn’t bother with crypto thinking it’s some kinda government psyops or some conspiracy lol

      If Dale isn’t Satoshi himself he’s definitely skeptical of it but I feel like he probably does have at least a stake in a mining operation and a cold wallet buried somewhere.

    Top Left – More or less the default position, sensible enough, if a bit naive. Nothing wrong with this.

    Top Right – Having knowledge is a good thing, and so is making decisions based on sound risk-benefit analysis.

    Bottom Right – Well, at least it’s an informed decision. Just don’t try to pass off the risk on someone else if it backfires.

    Bottom Left – Oooouuuuh, you don’t want to be in this quadrant, trust me…

    Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere unless someone figures out how to successfully hack it. All the other crypto currencies can get fucked.
