Once upon a time, between the years 2017 and 2020, there were these so-called “respectable” financial institutions — no need to name names, we all know who they are…
You know, the gray-haired elders of the global economy.
They were so hostile toward #Bitcoin and crypto in general, you’d think Satoshi personally broke into their vaults and ran off with their pension funds.
Let’s recall their greatest hits:
— “It’s a bubble.”
— “Not an investment, it’s gambling.”
— “It finances terrorism and crime.”
— “It will end in disaster.”
— “Just a passing fad.”
And the all-time favorite:
— “We will never touch it.”
📅 Fast forward to 2025.
Those very same institutions, those same talking heads, are now pulling up chairs at the crypto table — not sheepishly, but with full-on grins, like they never uttered a word against it.
And the PR? Oh, it’s golden. You’d think they invented Bitcoin.
— “Blockchain is central to our vision.”
— “Tokenization is the future of finance.”
Right…
The same folks who once called us “digital charlatans” and “bubble salesmen” are now keynote speakers at NFT conferences.
Some even have their own stablecoin launches.
“But this one’s different,” they say. Of course it is.
When they do it, it’s a financial revolution.
When others do it? Ponzi scheme. 🤷♂️
Have you ever witnessed a global U-turn so dramatic, paired with total historical amnesia? We have.
But it’s fine. Bitcoin holds no grudges. The blockchain forgives.
As long as the node is running, even past mistakes get immutably recorded. 😉
