Also, do you think Barron was named after the Robber Baron? Sure would make sense.

More likely there was a copy of Barron's on the nightstand or coffee table when the naming took place.

Ah, the hyenas circle the , just out of the circle of light.

Face it, with the exception of Barron, I doubt any of the Trump kids understand Bitcoin. Somebody made a pitch and they took it.

Personally, I would not invest in any of the stuff.

I have seen no evidence to support the above. Feel free to point me to such evidence if you wish.

I wonder how much damage a future anti-crypto president could do to the value of bitcoin? It's designed to be immune to such pressures.

I extrapolate that from what Trump told Hannity about Tik-Tok in his recent interview.

I would say that the people on this forum board on average are more knowledgable about bit coin than the average 18 year old. Most 18 year olds that I know do not have much, if any, knowledge of bit coin.

I would say 90% of the population has little knowledge of bitcoin.

I agree with that. Even a lot of people who invest in it (and swear by it) dont really understand it.

I understand blockchain. It’s the coins I don’t get. I’m still waiting for a use case besides money laundering, smuggling, and speculation.

[Doctor Phibes]

Nobody who claims to understand it has ever been able to explain bitcoin to me so that I can understand it. Admittedly, I felt much the same way about quantum mechanics, although at least in that case the professional dorks could back up their claim with third order non-linear differential equations.

So either I'm really stupid or they don't actually get it. Obviously, both could also be true.

One classical use case is that bitcoin would be a currency that would survive the collapse of fiat currencies. Thus "digital gold".
