    Munger is simply out of touch and also has a natural bias by holding so many bank stocks. 
    Maybe so, but the same could then be said of people who are holding (or however they spell it these days) a lot of Bitcoin

    Autonomous Driving is not vision, tt is real as it is already used. Similarly to eVtol, flying cars they are already a few demonstration about this. The only problem now, these sort of companies are not making profit as it is still in their infancy, they have not been able to maximise the economics of scale.

    Canada: "Hold my beer"

    Leaders of the Canadian truck protest come up with hilariously complex plan to distribute the Bitcoins they've collected

    The leaders of the Canadian anti-vaccine trucker protest communicated their plan to distribute the 21 Bitcoin (worth almost $1 million) to the truckers blockading the border. Instead of giving the truckers the money in a cash format they can actually use, the "professional orange-piller" in charge of the Bitcoin distribution has explained a multi-step plan to give truckers pieces of paper with seed phrases printed on them. The seed phrases will be placed into sealed envelopes along with instructions on how to create a Bitcoin wallet, which are then "numbered and squiggly random lines should be drawn on the envelope to help with later identification". The volunteers then plan to physically destroy the printer with shears and screwdrivers, to try to prevent attackers from pulling the seed phrases out of the device memory. Of course once the trucker has their seed phrase, they have to go through the multi-step process of gaining access to the Bitcoin wallet on their smartphone, and then figure out how on earth to actually use their newfound Bitcoins to, say, pay for fuel. Anyway, I think this all goes to show that the future of money truly is upon us.

    Ah, I see. So when you said that confiscation of money and seizure of assets wasn't a problem in a first world country, what you really meant was "It is, but Bitcoin needs a printer and 10 minutes of your time, so its not a solution."

    Got it.

    Meanwhile, the citizens of a G7 country are watching the best advert for Bitcoin there could ever be.
