The Bitcoin Sales Pitch Over Time:

2013: There is this new thing called Bitcoin, which you could mine on your gaming laptop, and you could mine 1–2 bitcoins in a month, potentially making $200–$400 with that – crazy opportunity, right?

2016: There is this new thing called Bitcoin, which went up 100x in the past few years, and it's trading at $500. You could buy 1 BTC and sell it for a 1000% gain easily in a few months – crazy opportunity.

2021: There is this new thing called Bitcoin, which Elon Musk has bought. It's trading at $50K right now, but you could also invest $100 if you want. Great investment – it's going to $100K in a few weeks – guaranteed profits.

2025: There is this new thing called Bitcoin, which the US government is buying. They said they will buy 1M bitcoins. The price is going to $1M in a few years – buy it below $100K and forget it for a few years – the best investment ever.
