... cars had buttons on their consoles? You know, actual buttons you could feel and press without looking at them? Not just widgets on a touch screen? When you didn't have to look at your radio to make sure it was on the "right screen" to do what you want?

It's an excellent opportunity to see what happens when 26,000 BTC suddenly vanish from existence.
