Imagination: "If You Can't See Bitcoin At $320K You Lack Imagination"

Imagination has taken hold Tyler Winklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss. The twins are still fired up about bitcoin.

The Winklevoss twins claim "If you can’t see bitcoin at $320,000, you just lack imagination."

“Cryptocurrencies aren’t really important for human-to-human transactions... but when machines-to-machines trade economic value, they are going to plug into protocols like bitcoin and ethereum,” he explained to CNBC. “

His brother, Cameron, says bitcoin will one day be worth 40 times today’s price, which is currently just over $8,000, thanks to a double-digit rally.

“We believe bitcoin disrupts gold. We think it’s a better gold if you look at the properties of money. And what makes gold gold? Scarcity,” Cameron said. “Bitcoin is actually fixed in supply so it’s better than scarce … it’s more portable, its fungible, it’s more durable. It's sort of equals a better gold across the board. We think regardless of the price moves in the last few weeks, it’s still a very underappreciated asset.”

Neither Cameron nor his brother put a specific timeline on the prediction during the chat, but they did say they’re taking the 10-to-20 year view.

The Winklevoss twins were hailed as the first crypto billionaires, after riding the hype and creating an exchange that processes $300 million in daily transactions. The brothers are currently No. 4 on the Forbes list of wealthiest players in the space, behind the Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao.

Bitcoin a "Better Gold"

What a hoot. As long as we are imagining things, let your imagination feast on this: Bitcoin and All Existing Cryptocurrencies Headed to Zero.

These fanatics seem to have unidirectional imagination. I offer a pair of musical tributes.

Just My Imagination

Lookin' Out My Back Door

​Just got home from Illinois lock the front door oh boy!
Got to sit down take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door.
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door.

Now that's imagination.

Thanks for the musical tribute. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." should be added to the list. Indeed, gold someday will trade for $320k as well. In the meantime, the rain seems to be pouring down on those who bought it during the recent Christmas fever.
