Recently JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter asked about an explanation of Bitcoin on Twitter, and it got very busy with lots of answers from crypto experts and influencers like Elon Musk, Vitalik Buterin and many others.
The crypto industry like Etheeum, Vexanium is still very young, participants in this industry are often very excited when people from the mainstream industry comment on crypto, this means that the room for growth for cryptocurrency is still very large in terms of public participation
However, it seems that it is not easy for JK Rowling to understand it, where she admits that she consumed alcohol just before giving comments about Bitcoin on Twitter.
JK Rowling’s discussion on Twitter reminds us of how Bill Gates explained about the internet to David Letterman in 1995. Many people analogize that blockchain technology (which is the basis of bitcoin) is now similar to the internet in 1995. Many people do not understand it with well, just as many people didn’t understand the difference between the internet and radio in 1995.
Here’s how David Lettermen inquires about the internet;
David Letterman: “What is the internet?”
Bill Gates: “The internet is a place where we publish information, everyone can have their own homepage, provide the latest information, it’s wild what’s happening right now, you can send e-mails to people”
David Letterman: “I remember a few months ago there was a big announcement, that on the internet, they were going to broadcast baseball games, you could listen to baseball games on the internet on your computer, then I thought” do you remember the radio? “
Bill Gates: “There’s a difference, with the internet you can listen to baseball games any time you want”
David Letterman: “Remember the tape recorder?”
David Letterman: “What the hell don’t I know about the internet?”
Bill Gates: “With the internet you can learn the latest things about cigars, auto racing stats”
David Letterman: “I have subscribed to 2 magazines about auto racing, with a computer (internet) now can I get more?”
Bill Gates: “With the internet you can find other people who have an unusual interest like yours.”
David Letterman: “You mean, troubled loner chat rooms on the internet?”
