Bitcoin above $100,000: Will 'Hodlers' have the last laugh?

What is there to say with Bitcoin above $100,000 for those of us who thought $10,000 looked nuts? After 15 years of crypto boom-and-bust cycles, rags-to-riches (and back to rags) stories, scams and bankruptcies, a carnival mood is back and hushing us naysayers. US politicians have joined the party: Donald Trump is appointing pro-crypto officials, eyeing a Bitcoin reserve and even hawking his own coin. So are punters, who are trying their hand and losing their shirts in the risky meme-coin market. Like the 18th-century carnival of Rome attended by the poet Goethe, where foolish behaviour save knifing and brawling was allowed, it's mystified tourists who are in the minority.
