This post could comfortably sit in 3 of the blogs but have gone with The Universal Law of Stupidity again. For reasons that should become apparent shortly.
I leave the interpretation up to you, we all have our own prejudices and biases. You are welcome add your own down below, all engagement feeds the algorithm.
The first quote was in an email this morning and while it does not specifically mention stupidity. It does use another word that could mean the same thing if you let it.
Scott Melker
"Most people are idiots and don't learn from their mistakes." "So most people are not going to make it, unfortunately."

Which reminds me of a quote by Jacque Fresco which I thought was funny.
“I was asked once, ‘you’re a smart man, why aren’t you rich?’ I replied, ‘you’re a rich man, why aren’t you smart?”
Saint Michael
"The real profound breakthrough of Bitcoin is this idea that you can take economic energy, convert to digital form,” and tightly bind it to a single entity.
Pretty sure this is not a 2026 quote. But we continue with a similar theme from the man everyone ❤️ to hate.
Elon Musk
"Energy is the true currency. You can't legislate energy. You can't just pass a law and suddenly have a lot of energy. It's very difficult to generate energy, or especially to harness energy in a useful way to do useful work."
Musk also connected this vision to Bitcoin, arguing that the network's structure already links digital value to real-world energy expenditure.
"This is why I say Bitcoin is based on energy,"
Blue Macellari
"From the launch of the first Bitcoin ETFs… we had non-stop great news… it's impossible to sustain that type of constant transformational news flow."
She is the head of digital asset strategy at T. Rowe Price.
According to her profile she “focuses on the investment and operational implementations of the universe of cryptographic tokens, coins, protocols, exchange-traded funds, and derivatives supported on blockchain technologies.” Had to throw that in the mix as have used the term “crypto-verse” on numerous occasions which is a shorter version of “universe of cryptographic tokens, coins, protocols, exchange-traded funds, and derivatives supported on blockchain technologies”
Satoshi Nakamoto
“If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry.”
“ It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.”
“ I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume.”
Only 3 years till we find out.
