5 Things Professionals Need to Know about Bitcoin to Avoid Getting Cooked

My mother once told me that if you put a frog in a pot of cold water and slowly bring the water to a boil, the frog would cook. But if you drop a frog in boiling water, it will leap out. I’m sharing my mother’s sage wisdom with you so that you take note of the rising heat and start your ascent up the side of the pot.

I love that!

"The water isn’t even boiling yet, but it is getting warmer every day. Bitcoin is still in its infancy. Only a fraction of the world’s population has adopted it. The largest companies in the ecosystem have less than 60 employees. But the pace of growth is extraordinary. Imagine if you learned about the banking sector when the largest banks had only 60 employees?"

I don't. If you slowly bring the water to a boil, the frog will indeed leap out when it gets too hot, but if you drop a frog in boiling water, it will just die almost instantly. I don't understand why this metaphor continues to be used when it so demonstrably false.
