> the big short wrote that stripper to appear ignorant of the circumstances she was in

While this article doesn't appear to be painting the same kind of picture, it appears that both people have similar levels of knowledge about the subjects they're dealing with.

If the article showed that she knows how Bitcoin works - keys, signing, etc (something on the same level as explaining credit default swaps), then I would be impressed and give more weight to her thoughts on the subject.

However, she said that Bitcoin "will be too high for individuals to invest in." I don't see why that would be the case at any price, as people can buy fractions of a Bitcoin.

Reminds me of the film, The Big Short, where the main characters find out from an adult entertainer that she is buying multiple houses.

The interviewer asks this woman about the future of Bitcoin when she's clearly not an expert because shes says, Bitcoin "will be too high for individuals to invest in." One could buy a fraction of a Bitcoin to "invest" as little as $5.

The question is not whether we're in a bubble, but when it will pop.

whispered··on In praise of cash
I'm a Monero supporter (and owner and future user once more widely adopted) because like cash, no one can tell how much money you have in your wallet or who you're buying things from. With Bitcoin, neither of those is true.
