Huh... I thought lithium was a liquid metal, like mercury. 🤔

I find this perspective funny nowadays, and I want more people to question it, really question it. It's valued at over $1.5 trillion? No, it's worth nothing if it just sits there doing nothing. If you worded it as "Could be worth..." then I'd give it a pass. But don't let yourself be fooled, that lithium has absolutely no real value if it's not mined and put towards something that someone can use to improve their quality of life.

Like to make it completely clear, I could value the moon at $5 trillion, it doesn't matter because I can't actually get to the moon.
