Elon Musk = Francisco d'Anconia


Mild shitpost, though I personally think there's some truth here. For anyone who hasn't read the Ayn Rand novel Atlas Shrugged, one of the characters is a world famous industrialist/investor billionaire playboy type. His name is Francisco d'Anconia. He is the character who gives the iconic, oft-quoted "Money Speech," which I definitely recommend reading if you haven't.Anyway, one of the storylines from the novel involves d'Anconia making a high profile investment into a Mexican copper mine. Because he has been right so often, pretty much everyone in the world goes all in on this copper mine. It turns out the mine is completely worthless, and he knew it, and everyone who invested got fucking rekt. D'Anconia just wanted to give a middle finger to all the people who blindly follow whatever he does to try to make money.That's what I think about when I see Doge pumping because Elon Musk vaguely mentions it on twitter once. Part of me thinks he intentionally found the most absurd crypto to talk about, just to prove a point. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/2QvFYRU
