Ah yes, Fidelity, JPMorgan, Elon, and Mark Cuban are all idiots, you're the genius.

They better listen to you! BTC is going to zero!

I take interest in all assets But that does not mean I recommend them .

I evaluate them as far as what they bring to the party and why and call it as I see it .

Assets should be bought for a purpose and reason and serve a purpose in a portfolio ..other wise they are just blind speculation that counts on the bigger fool theory

I sense a lot more Crypto exchanges going under Binance probably next.
Crypto is like tattoo and social media influencers. They will not be going away anytime soon and will increase in prevalence.

Bitcoin is at $16815, now. Let see where it goes in a year.

Not too surprising that Fidelity is offering this.

When the ducks quack, feed them.

It's a wall street proverb that means sell customers whatever it is they want to buy, it doesn't matter what it is. They're there to make money off of customers, nothing more. E.g., they knew most of the dot com companies that went IPO were garbage, but people wanted to buy, so just sell it to them. Everybody (that matters) wins.

What do you call the stock market? Look at Tesla, Amazon, Google. When was the last year AT&T actually increased shareholder value?

Last year T was up 26%, 25% with dividends reinvested. From the first of last year to now it’s up 43%, Tesla is down 65% and 47% respectively over the two time periods.

I bet you didn’t expect that one did ya? If you are starting from now you can go back and look and it’s been up forever

The difference between equities and crypto is, we know what equities respond to….that is expected earnings and revenue.

We have no idea what crypto responds to so far , other then the bigger fool theory

Exactly. Ask those people who held Dutch tulips in the 1600's how things worked out.
I don't see a rebound at all for crypto, I see a continued decline.

I won’t try to predict .. I just see no link to any reason to own it since we already have better choices to do whatever it was supposed to do.

So in my opinion is is strictly a speculation on nothingness for those who want to take the chance.

It stinks as a currency and way of transacting business , it stinks as a digital equal to gold , and it stinks linking itself to any of our economic outcomes so far
