My nephew works for the largest financial firm in the world. He says they wrote off bitcoin long ago (as if they ever seriously considered it).

That's too bad. It's still up over 800% since January of last year. Perhaps they could have planned better to gain from that.

You miss the point. The point is, bitcoin is dead in the financial world where it counts, not here on HN.

It was dead in 2017, too. And 2016, and 2015...

Not really... I’ve been holding a small amount of crypto since 2013. It’s still about 10x the (small) amount of money I put in.
