Well, I’ll tell ya, and this is just me.

But last night, I re-watched Waterworld. It was the first time in quite a while.

And I found myself thinking, “Man, that life would be pretty cool. Global warming would be pretty cool. Why haven’t the ice caps melted yet?”

Honestly, I remember they were supposed to be totally melted by 2007. And then it got pushed up to 2014. And then 2018. And now here we are in 2021 with the same thick, boring ice caps, and Dryland is still not a myth.

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of our boring pre-apocalyptic world.

If Bitcoin is now what will bring about the Waterworld, then I’ll tell you what: I’m all for it.

Just call me “The Mariner.” ‘Cause I’ll be marinatin’ in BTC awaiting the end of this world, and the dawning of a far more watery one.
