There is something exquisitely pathetic about people who deliberately write “i” instead of “I”, misspell perfectly ordinary words, and vandalise their own grammar in the desperate hope of appearing authentically human. Imagine possessing the accumulated linguistic inheritance of centuries and deciding that the pinnacle of personal expression is to write like a concussed adolescent with a defective keyboard. These people have achieved something genuinely remarkable: they have made ignorance aspirational. Where civilisation once regarded literacy as an accomplishment, they now parade incompetence as evidence of originality. Apparently, the inability to distinguish a grammatical convention from an AI signature is now considered intellectual discernment. The irony is delicious. They are so terrified of being mistaken for artificial intelligence that they have voluntarily abandoned the very intelligence they claim to possess. One might forgive genuine ignorance. It is, after all, an affliction frequently imposed by circumstance. But cultivated stupidity is another matter entirely. To know the rules of language and deliberately butcher them for social approval is not rebellion. It is intellectual self-mutilation performed for an audience of equally enthusiastic imbeciles. An em dash does not make you a machine. A capital letter does not betray your humanity. And spelling a word correctly is not an admission that a computer has written it. If your principal method of demonstrating human intelligence is to suppress every visible indication of possessing any, perhaps the problem is not artificial intelligence. Perhaps it is the embarrassing scarcity of the natural variety. And... Oh, fuck off if you don’t agree...

And now the sales pitch has quietly changed again. First BTC was electronic cash. When it could not function as cash at scale, it became “digital gold”. When that became difficult to defend, it became a “store of value”. Now the slogan is “generational wealth”. That phrase is not an economic argument. It is a recruitment device aimed at people who fear they have already missed the opportunity. It implies that merely holding an already trillion-dollar asset can still deliver the sort of returns available when it was tiny. It cannot. A 1,000-fold increase from a trillion-dollar valuation produces a quadrillion-dollar valuation. That is not “optimistic”. It is larger than the economic base from which the supposed wealth would have to come. There is no pool of outside capital remotely sufficient to buy existing holders out at those prices. Nor can everyone obtain generational wealth from holding the same non-productive asset. BTC does not generate factories, housing, food, energy, dividends or productive output. One holder’s realised gain requires another person to provide the money. The quoted price may rise, but the system cannot convert every paper gain into spendable wealth simultaneously. That is the concealed fallacy. Advocates multiply the last traded price by every coin and call the result wealth, as though the entire supply could be sold at that marginal price. It could not. Large-scale selling would collapse the price long before most holders realised anything resembling the displayed valuation. The earliest buyers could make 1,000-fold returns because the starting valuation was negligible. Buyers entering after institutional adoption and trillion-dollar capitalisation cannot repeat that trajectory. The required capital does not exist, and the underlying economy could not validate the resulting claims. So “generational wealth” is merely the latest replacement slogan. The original function failed, the previous justification became stale, and the promised return became mathematically impossible. What remains is the oldest speculative pitch in finance: buy now because someone later will supposedly pay vastly more.
