In my 40+ years in the radio business, I've helped introduce a variety 
of music to myriad new listeners. It's always a joy to hear from them.

I couldn't agree more. It only makes sense to speculators, who are 
driving the whole cryptocurrency thing. But the sad thing is that in a 
world of finite resources, there and fewer and fewer opportunities to 
generate wealth, so investors have largely become speculators. 
Speculation strikes me as a zero-sum game; for someone to win, someone 
else has to lose.

It's like casinos, which people in my part of the country support 
wholeheartedly. They don't actually generate any wealth; they just rob 
Peter to pay Paul. That brand new casino in Everett, just north of 
Boston, is little more than a black hole into which people pour their 
money. Yes, some of it does support some local jobs, and the state takes 
its pound of flesh, but at the end of the day Massachusetts is that much 
poorer, it seems to me.

I think Musk, Bezos et al. imagine themselves watching the world implode 
from the safety of space-bourne mansions. They don't care what happens 
to the rest of us, I think.

As an avid reader of history, I agree.
