I love the internet people who have never followed or commented on owning an asset class all of sudden start to pop out of the woodwork and claim to be hodlers when the price goes way up.
On another note, I was digging through an old hard drive the other day and found a folder named BTC. Inside was the seed and passphrase for 100 bitcoin I was given back in 2011 for mowing a neighbors lawn and forgot about. They were worth about 40 cents each as I recall, I've verified them, left them on the HDD with the other junk for now.

I see FSD is going subscription, it won't effect the existing owners, those who paid $8000 up front for the privilege of being spied on and nagged for their entire drive. Elon needs income if he hopes to get his one trillion bonus.

But at 11 years a Battcar will be a lawn ornament unless it's been lightly driven. lipo batteries don't last forever and at 11 years they are well past their use-by date. Just ask the troll, his old leaf's won't get him across town and back without a recharge

Advanced tech (IoT, data analytics) and lifestyle changes are key to further progress. It's about more than cost savings—it's about a resilient, sustainable future.

Here's where the sales are, Gasoline halfbreeds.

Global Plug-In Car Sales Passed 20 Million In 2025 As U.S. Lost Steam
North America was the only major global region where EVs and PHEVs saw sales decline in 2025
