On the stage of the Trento Philharmonic, comedian Luca Ravenna was the star of the show 'My bitcoins'.
Bitcoins, for Ravenna, are just yet another confirmation of his lack of feeling for money, with which he has a very complicated relationship, as he explains with much irony: 'With bitcoins, you never know how to get behind them, you don't know if they still have value or not, and for me they are an unknown entity.
Yet Ravenna is the son of a long-time finance professional and lives in Milan, the city of the stock exchange.
Invisible Money
.To the amused audience, he recounts his relationship with his father and his profession, which was completely foreign to him. 'I used to see my father in a suit and tie, I knew that his job had to do with numbers and with hypothetical money, of which so much was spoken, but which was unknown to me. When I went to the Italian Stock Exchange at Palazzo Mezzanotte as a child, I wondered where the money was that my dad worked with, because I only saw computers there'.
And money continues to be invisible, according to Ravenna, because everyone says that the fat cows are gone and tells of economic difficulties, yet the world goes on. 'So,' laughs Ravenna, 'somewhere is this blessed money, someone has it!'
