The nutshell: "A far likelier explanation than anybody actually believing in the durable investment value of a Hawk Tuah cryptocurrency is that those investors, like Welch herself, were hoping to cash out ahead of the suckers—were hunting The Bag, and simply didn't grab at it fast enough."

Looks delicious! About 30 years ago I read about chai in a book (SF?), spent years trying to find it, and eventually encountered it in a cafe in Amsterdam. Now it's everywhere, which is nice. I agree that you must specify "half sweet" to avoid instant carbo-shock at Starbucks.
