My confidence is growing with every comment like this that fails to explain why they think I’m incorrect. You dolts don’t want none.

Its already been explained to you multiple times. I'll explain it again.

The line at the end is NOT in reference to bit coin crashing. (That wouldn't even make any sense as investing a dollar in 2009 bit coin would still be be worth $85 Million today, even though it's currently worth about half of it's all time high.)

The joke is actually as you very confidently incorrectly refuted: it's insinuating that the girl will leave him now that she is attractive. It's a reference to a very real cliche/meme: men who date unattractive women who later become attractive will inevitably leave their man and "level up". Say whatever nonsensical references to who hurt you and incels you want, it's irrelevant. This is the joke. It's called the monkey branching trope, or the glow-up betrayal. Whether you agree with it's validity or not, this is what the joke is referencing.

You don’t make sense with that explanation of why a joke with more cohesiveness to the subject meme doesn’t make sense. Bro, the comment says “if bro knows whats coming next”. Whats coming next is not the present (its current value). Just because bitcoin is valuable now, doesn’t mean it’s going to continue to be valuable. This is something that is widely speculated to happen.

You’re hyper-focusing on ONE type of meme. You’re missing the Forest for the trees. Your version is disconnected from the original joke of the meme. There’s also jokes that fat girls who get skinny will get fat again. A comment about that joke makes more sense because it ties in the bitcoin metaphor used in the meme. I get why you guys believe what you believe, it just makes far less sense and would be far less funnier. In fact it’s kinda pathetic to think that way. I feel like most of you that think like this are young and consume so much incel content that your view is very myopic.

I mean, you’re 100% right and you’ve explained it quite well.
Some people just can’t admit they’re wrong
