Speaker 3 (00:34):
Dan damn loves hand.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hey saw this.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I don't know if it's true, but if you had
invested one hundred dollars in bitcoin in twenty ten, it
would have turned into sixty three million dollars today.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Really reckon that's true. Well, I've got no idea how
bitcoin works, trading with nothing.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, you brought up the story the other day of
the guy that's like wanting to run it open a tiar,
dig up a whole tip to find the hard drive,
and then I walked out to one of the girls here,
you know, who's into all that sort of stuff, and
I was like, is that true story? She's like, yeah,
the guy's spending one hundred thousand dollars, don't find it.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'd heard that story before, but not the extension into
trying to get it out of the tip. I heard
it when it.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Just happened, Yeah, exactly. And then it just I was like,
why is it in a hard drive? Like why is
there not like a registry that you then go to
your registry?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
They can't just call it and get your password. Why
can't you have the cloud operating yeah positively for it.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
It all just kind of doesn't make sense to me.
But anyway, what I was yesterday, I was just like,
when I saw that if you invested one hundred dollars
in bitcoorn in twenty ten, so fourteen years ago, it'd
be sixty three million dollars to day. And it made
me start thinking about people here on the coast, like
has someone done that? And walking around kit.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Coin people, would you, okay say right now, if you'd
invested one hundred, then would you have that sixty three million.
Would you be going, I'm going to leave it in
there because I just think it's going to keep on
going up, or would you get the hell out of there?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Or have you already got it out and you're one
of the people going, Oh, it wasn't going well, so
I pulled it out.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
And now now, yeah, what if you gotten missed? Oh
my god, that's my brain.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Is the patient one, the patient one that went a
couple of hundred bucks, doesn't matter? Just sit there. And
then I started thinking, how many people just go I'm
going to put a hundred here and a hundred here,
hundred and they put one hundred and Apple or a
hundred Microsoft, And like, surely there's good people in the
world like that that are just sitting there witch And
they just started with something little.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Even like grandparents might have done it. And then now
it's all of a sudden become generational wealth. And it's
almost like old money if you're a grandchild and you're
benefiting from it.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Now old new money. Yeah. Anyway, my algorithm, as I
sort of saw that yesterday, then must have just chucked
up a lot of bit poin stuff. And I found
this comedian who's written a song about not investing in bitcoin,
and I thought it summed up exactly what we're talking
about here, Because.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
You might have spent one hundred bucks on bitcoin thirteen
years ago, I now have fifty million bucks. That's actually
how much it's grown. Instead, I just wrote songs about
how bitcoin was a bad So right now, someone's on
an island, swimming naked in a hot tubful of cash

(03:16):
that overlooks the sea, and it's not me.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I want to listen to the whole thing. I know
that's not
