Gupta pointed to several factors that pin the invention to Musk, like his background in economics and cryptography as well as his likelihood to adopt a sophomoric alias that serves as an anagram for the phrase “So a man took a shit.” (You might remember the time Musk publicly expressed disappointment when the names of Tesla’s first three vehicles were blocked from spelling out SEX.)

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they invest in you.
That’s the scene that bitcoin investors and enthusiasts are facing. After years as an underground digital currency and a running joke in the world of finance, bitcoin is suddenly attracting attention from the people who once called it a scam: the big institutions of finance, who collectively control trillions of dollars.
And it might not even be a matter of “if.” It’s now just a matter of “when.”
“The institutionalization of this space is coming. It’s coming pretty quick,” former hedge fund manager Michael Novogratz said at a recent conference. Read more…
