Then the title is misleading like most “news”

If no Crypto company is part of the DJIA then the Dow didn’t drop because crypto took a hit.

Just like in the 49 gold rush, those selling mining supplies to the starry eyed dreamer miners made the big money.

Then it will never work as a hedge, which is what they kept saying about it early on.

I think the safest counter/hedge against inflation and other market forces has been ammunition.

So how is crypto a hedge against inflation when the aggregate crypto monetary base ( different coins x number of each ) keeps expanding with no constraints?

I just said it would not work as a hedge, and your response is “So how is crypto a hedge”?

At 1.8% return, you lost 3x that in purchasing power to inflation…

Once we went off the gold standard we were screwed.

Don't you think the average American is better off today than he or she was in 1933?

That is what my S-I-L tells me. He is heavily into crypto, and making profits even in the face of loss of BTC and others.
