➗ MicroStrategy bought BTC 40 times in four years, investing nearly $10 billion
The Beatles invented crypto
All the signs are there. Y'all were simply not paying attention... TheBeatles invented Bitcoin (beatcoin) and cryptocurrency:
-
“Here Comes the Sun” (1969) as a Metaphor for Bitcoin’s Arrival
• Lyrics: “Here comes the sun, and I say, it’s all right.” • Argument: The song can be seen as a prophecy of Bitcoin’s emergence as a new form of financial freedom. The “sun” symbolizes the dawn of a new financial system, where decentralized money brings light to a world overshadowed by traditional banking.
-
“Revolution 9” (1968) and the Birth of Blockchain Technology
• Lyrics: The avant-garde sound collage of “Revolution 9” includes repeated phrases like “Number nine, number nine…” • Argument: The repetition of numbers and the experimental nature of the track could symbolize the complex algorithms and blocks that make up the blockchain. The track’s chaotic and fragmented structure mirrors the decentralized and peer-to-peer nature of cryptocurrency.
-
“Taxman” (1966) as a Critique of Centralized Financial Power
• Lyrics: “If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street; if you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.” • Argument: This song criticizes the heavy taxation imposed by governments, which can be interpreted as an early acknowledgment of the need for a system like Bitcoin that operates outside government control and offers financial autonomy.
-
“Across the Universe” (1970) and the Global Reach of Cryptocurrency
• Lyrics: “Nothing’s gonna change my world…” • Argument: The title and lyrics suggest a vision of something that transcends boundaries and connects the world. Cryptocurrency, like the song, operates across the universe, unbound by any single nation’s borders or policies.
-
“Come Together” (1969) as a Call for Decentralization
• Lyrics: “Come together, right now, over me.” • Argument: The phrase “come together” can be interpreted as a call for collective action through decentralized networks, like how blockchain technology unites participants across the globe. The “me” in the song could symbolize the idea of Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym representing a collective effort rather than a single individual.
-
“Magical Mystery Tour” (1967) and the Enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto
• Lyrics: “The magical mystery tour is waiting to take you away…” • Argument: The song’s sense of mystery and adventure could be seen as a metaphor for the enigmatic figure of Satoshi Nakamoto and the intrigue surrounding the creation of Bitcoin. The “tour” represents the journey into the world of cryptocurrency.
-
“The Long and Winding Road” (1970) as the Path to Cryptocurrency Adoption
• Lyrics: “The long and winding road that leads to your door.” • Argument: This song can be interpreted as a metaphor for the gradual and challenging journey toward the acceptance and adoption of cryptocurrency. The “door” represents the gateway to financial freedom that Bitcoin offers.
-
“Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!” (1967) as an Allegory for Market Volatility
• Lyrics: “And of course, Henry the Horse dances the waltz!” • Argument: The whimsical and unpredictable nature of the circus in this song mirrors the volatility of the cryptocurrency markets. The “Benefit of Mr. Kite” could be seen as a playful reference to the speculative nature of crypto trading.
-
“I Am the Walrus” (1967) as a Representation of Cryptography
• Lyrics: “I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.” • Argument: The cryptic and surreal lyrics of this song can be seen as a nod to the complex cryptographic principles underlying Bitcoin. The idea that “we are all together” reflects the peer-to-peer network that is the backbone of cryptocurrency.
-
“A Day in the Life” (1967) as a Vision of the Internet and Digital Currency
• Lyrics: “I read the news today, oh boy…” • Argument: The lyrics of this song, which discuss information dissemination and global events, can be interpreted as a foresight of the internet age, where news spreads rapidly, and digital currencies like Bitcoin become integral to global economic discussions.
Now you know. You'll never see crypto the same ever again.
