Bitcoin explained perfectly (Response to FTX Explained perfectly)

Bitcoin is like Michael Jordan, The GOAT, but he doesn't play in the NBA.

No he plays in a Rec League at the YMCA, with every jabroni that can put on a tank top.

To watch him play, you don't get a nice seat, with parking and concessions and merchandise to buy

You get to stand on the sidelines, in a gym with no A/C, and watch a hundred clowns run around, like chickens with their head cut off, try and play with him. They can't play defense, they're stupid, they are horrible athletes, and they miss 90% of their shots, but they act like they are really playing the game well. They think this is time well spent, doing something productive

This is what "crypto" is to the average person, looking at it from the outside in. These are the sh!tcoiners, playing with Jordan. Jordan is just trying to get a sweat, stay in shape until he can get into the NBA.

It would also be analogous to Muhammad Ali, when he was exiled for 3 years from boxing, and he had to make speeches, stay in the gym, do an exhibition here and there, to stay ready for reinstatement into the professional world.

The world sees this Crypto circus, this storm of thievery and stupidity, from bad exchanges to snake oil salesman VCs, pumping-and-dumping sh!tcoins, swirling around this space, saying they are the next Bitcoin, and they average Joe is supposed to separate the wheat from the chaff?

Bitcoin is tarnished by the company it keeps. Guilty by association.

Bitcoin and "Crypto" are two very different things. Like Jordan in the Rec league.

The outside world would never know it. They think we are all on the same team, playing the same game. That's the problem with Bitcoin.

It's not Bitcoin. It's us, acting like chimps around it. The optics are horrible.

Not Bitcoin's fault, but this is the lot, the ghetto, Bitcoin lives in.

We have to bring Bitcoin out of it, out of the darkness of "Crypto", and into the light.
