The total value of all bitcoin is not even equal to the value of Apple, a single stock--even with its recent run-up. And apple has something like $150 billion of cash on hand besides.
So do you think it's a good idea to put all your money into something that is not even as 'big' as a single stock?
Do you know how much BTC has been lost? How about this:
How much VOO or VT has been similarly lost? --an infinitesimal fraction of 30%, if at all.Lost Bitcoin refers to BTC that the current owner can't locate, either because they forgot their private key or lost their hardware wallet device. Estimates suggest that around 6 million BTC, or 30% of Bitcoin's supply, have been irretrievably lost, amounting to $554 billion in value.
Crypto has had a good year? If you're comparing single picks, Nvidia has outperformed it over 1, 2, and 5 year periods. So gee, why didn't you have the evangelical foresight to pick that one stock?
Have you ever heard of an NEMP? Sure, that would affect everything, but crypto would be no salvation if computers and electronic trading got toasted. And a solar blip could do the same thing, without any nukes at all.
