PETER THIEL JUST DESCRIBED BITCOIN THE WAY HISTORY DESCRIBES REVOLUTIONS.
On Joe Rogan:
“Bitcoin is so significant that society doesn’t even know how to process it yet.”
That’s not drama.
That’s exactly how real innovation always lands.
Every world-changing technology followed the same script:
1. Mocked
2. Ignored
3. Demonized
4. Then… indispensable
Railroads were “dangerous toys.”
The internet was “for nerds.”
Smartphones were “overpriced gadgets.”
Bitcoin fits perfectly:
- Dismissed as a bubble
- Attacked as criminal money
- Banned, regulated, ridiculed
- Still here. Still producing blocks. Still onboarding capital.
Society has no mental model yet for an asset that is:
- Stateless
- Fixed in supply
- Globally liquid
- Immune to dilution
So it reacts with fear, confusion, and bad headlines.
But that’s exactly what “early” looks like.
By the time the world finally “understands” Bitcoin,
it won’t be controversial upside anymore.
It’ll be infrastructure.
The misunderstanding isn’t the flaw.
It’s the trade.
The people who get it now
will be the ones who shape what comes next. $BTC
