Bitcoin explained to 3 million people on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today. Striking resemblance to 1994 explanation of Today's Show "What is Internet".

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

I think the masses are coming into Crypto, similar to how early Internet mass adoption started in 1995 but with Crypto we are talking about disrupting a $200 trillion or more currency market. Plus, all the blockchain apps competing against FANG stocks - Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google.

Remember guys Mainstream Media is always behind. Anyone who has bought Crypto pre-2018 is a early adopter. We still have a long adoption curve to go, which means much higher prices.

What do you think? Striking similarity?

The similarity really is striking, it almost seems like someone told them to be negative on purpose in order to get a debate going. I usually really like Ellen, but what she says at the end of the clip is just weird. First of all, she seems to think that you can only invest fiat currency into Bitcoin, but you could also exchange other crypto into Bitcoin (for example SBD where no actual investment, other than your time, is necessary). She also says that you'll either be 'a millionaire, or you'll be totally broke'. That's a strange statement because it totally depends on how much you invest to begin with, where that investment comes from and it also depends on if Bitcoin will increase/decrease rapidly again in the future. Anyways, I was wasn't aware of this so thanks for letting me know that Bitcoin has made it all the way to the Ellen show and thank you for your support on my post, it really made a big difference!

Thanks for your comment. Yes, Media always gets it wrong usually anyway. However, when you look at there incentives, its only to make click bait for advertisers. These people have no track record of successful Venture Capital investments. Buying Crypto today is still like early Internet days. Crypto has already came so far in prices and adoption but we have a long ways to go. Probably 20-30 years before Crypto fully matures. This is good news b/c it means there is decades of growth ahead, much like the Internet in 95' compared to today.

That's very true, I never considered the similarities between early internet and early Crypto :O

It's really good the way you are giving a good message to the world,,,,I love your post,,, thank you for sharing with #Us,,,keep it up,,this's good work,,,
Dear @hedge-x I JUST #RESTEEMED YOUR POST

@alimuddin thanks

thank you to D: @hedge-x
i always with you,,,

Definitely, striking similarity! Super excited for what the future holds. No one understand how the Internet really works under hood. Well, the Majority

Nope but they use it anyway.

I remember this, seems like just yesterday they were talking about the internet. Crypto is not going anywhere no matter how much the central banks try to shut it down.

I agree too. I think the SEC is going to soon have to be changing the Securities Law too. I saw where Wyoming is trying to pass a Utility Tokens exemption. Fingers crossed but like you said is here to stay.

Haha I actually saw this last night I found it super funny, I love Ellen. So good to see people try to explain and adopt the idea of bitcoin and the tech behind it.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, its great. Crypto going more mainstream everyday and like in your video a lot people are getting involved or have been involved. Many people you'd never expect. Followed.

Haha I love it.

Think of all the absolute muppets who watch Ellen and would have never heard of crypto. Great advertising to the mainstream for the industry!

i am glad we are getting smoe puplicity however, i fear it can go bad really quickly if a celeb losses some money in a ICO or a coin just does not exist anymore. only time will tell i supose.

great information man... you can help many people who are not aware of this... keep posting sir... i'll wait for your next post... 👍

That was 1994? Wow I feel old all of a sudden. lol

She used a comedic bit to try to introduce Bitcoin to her audience linking bitcoin to "digital goat"😀

The phrase by Ellen DeGeneres on the show:

If you invest in Bitcoin, you'll either be a millionaire or totally broke."

I think this is profoundly true. You can only end up broke if you invest everything you have.
Or if we are stupid. We should not invest what we cannot afford to lose🙂

great post and very good post.
i love your post.

@hedge-x Do you think Bitcoin will rise up to 20k in few months? I am not sure about a new investing in Bitcoin. Bitcoin/ Etherum?

I think so but there's no guarantee. This year I believe we'll see a trillion dollar plus Crypto market cap.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. You got me believing a 100,000 dollar bitcoin is possible...maybe even a million! Where to do see the price in let's say....5 years?

Total Crypto I believe is going into the trillions. In 5 years, $10 trillion or more. Its very hard to predict any one particular Crypto price but the market in general is heading much higher. The current Crypto market cap is $500 billion, if a 30X that's $15 trillion. Global currency is $200+ trillion. Gold is $8 trillion. So if Crypto just becomes an alternative world currency we are talking north of $10 trillion.

Wow! Thank you! I appreciate your response. Appreciate your insight! Makes a lot of sense! Steem on brother!
