And you can gamble, to use your own phrase, on highly speculative instruments and win or lose big.

That’s fine, knock yourself out and good luck to you.

But that in no way, shape or form legitimizes the current price of either TSLA or Bitcoin. Your gambling profits or losses come despite that reality.

You simply don't get it, naive. I have made my own good luck and fortune. No debts, great investments, and large cash reserves. My wife and I started with nothing long ago. Our "gambling" on stocks is purely a hobby, and we have nothing to lose. TSLA continues to grow, and short sellers continue to get screwed because they think like you. As for Bitcoin, I don't own but invested in a company that does deal in it, and have seen those stocks multiply in value recently. One of my daughters had Bitcoin but unfortunately sold it recently, and only made double her investment. We don't lose big, and really haven't lost in the big picture. I don't know what you do, or how well you're doing, but good luck to you also.
