What If Batman Invested in Crypto? A Fun Take on Gotham’s Finances

Let’s be real—Bruce Wayne’s swimming in too much cash. The dude runs Wayne Enterprises, buys himself a new Batmobile whenever, and probably spends a larger portion of our rent budget on Batarangs alone. But imagine, then, that, instead of storing his billions in bland, traditional banknotes, Bruce chose to invest in cryptocurrencies? How safe would Gotham become, or would the Joker rug everyone with meme coins?

Step One: Batman Diversifies
Batman’s no idiot. He won’t ape into whatever new meme coin everyone’s fawned over in a group hug. Instead, he’ll stack Bitcoin like it’s Kryptonite (which, ironically, I bet he’s storing a stash of somewhere, too). Ethereum? Yeah, he’ll stake a little—Alfred will remind him it’s a passive earner for him. And I bet he’ll have himself a stash of privacy coins like Monero for under-the-radar funding for midnight upgrades in the Batcave.

Step Two: The Joker Attempts to Rug Gotham
And, naturally, chaos accompanies wherever Batman’s name’s mentioned. In comes the Joker, and with him, $HAHA, a meme coin with a "promising" "infinite fun" but with 99% of its circulating supply in his pocket. Gotham’s degens ape in, and then the coin pumps, then, in an instant, crashes. Commissioner Gordon reaches out to Bruce: "We have a cryto emergency."
Batman, having monitored Joker’s wallet address, sets a DeFi trap with a honeypot and invites him in with a liquidity trap. Genius, pure and simple.

Step Three: Robin’s a Crypto Celebrity
Robin, trying to break free of living in Batman’s shadow, launches a "Flying with Gains" channel, shilling Layer 2s and hyping stocks that are "100x gems." Batman advises him regarding scams, but Robin insists that he knows best for himself. That is, until getting rekted out of a new AI coin and having to bail himself out with Bruce’s intervention. "I told you so," grumbles Batman.

Step Four: Gotham’s Economy Goes Full Crypto
Bruce browbeats Gotham’s city council into starting to collect taxes in Bitcoin. The Bat-Signal runs off blockchain confirmation (why not, at this point?) and NFTs, Two-Face begins flipping meme coins off coin tosses, and Catwoman simply steals NFTs in substitution for gems. It’s madness, but astonishing, Gotham’s economy is booming.

Would Batman Invest in Cryptocurrency?
Honestly, probably. He’s ever at the cutting edge, and with Gotham’s economy in its current state, a hedge for inflation is a no-brainer for him. And let’s face it—he’s already dressed in head-to-toe black and vanishes into thin air. He’s a crypto whale in all but name at least!

So go ahead and imagine Bruce checking in with portfolio during a mission in your next Dark Knight viewings: "Alfred, did ETH reverse Bitcoin?"

Now that’s a plot twist!
