Future scenarios might include: a 22-year-old blonde beauty from Ohio, fresh out of college, comes to New York to work. During her college years, she saved some money. She walks into a brokerage firm to open an account, intending to use her savings to trade stocks. However, the account manager suggests she also open a BTC account and shows her the net appreciation history over the past decade. The girl is shocked; prices have surged thousands, hundreds, and dozens of times over the years. Comparing it to the history of US stock market rises, she remarks to the account manager that isn't US stocks just garbage in comparison? The account manager chuckles and replies that there are markets far worse than US stocks, which have barely moved 3000 points over a decade. Thus, on the account manager's advice, the girl ends up investing in both US stocks and BTC.
