Ironically, crypto's returns are all due to Tether...which is purely inflationary printing. USDT is what you'd get with the USD if the Fed were run by actual criminals.

Indeed. No one who's bet against crypto has come out looking prescient.
The risk profile of Crypto vs an index fund is exponentially worse.
What you should care about is what asset provides you the best return with the lowest risk.
At any time in history you can look back at the past ten years and say "Clearly X stock was the best choice for investors and you're foolish to claim otherwise!"
50k to 15M in GME calls in less then 1 month if you were lucky.
It's all gambling but to say bitcoin is the best source of wealth/gambling shows your lack of experience.
Where would you put your money now that bitcoin is 50k?

BTC of course. USD is only going to continue to drop.
I invested a nice sum of money in November 2019.
Option 1: BTC from 9300 to 48000 means 5x
Option 2: TSLA from 62 (pre-split) to 796 means 12x. (much much more via calls)
Which do you think I went for? Which strategy do you think will continue to make reliable money in the future?
What about November 2018 or November 2017? Like I said, Bitcoin has consistently been up in the long term for the past decade.
SO you mean EXACTLY what you're doing with BTC?
I swear the BTC cult rivals the Qanon crazies in cognitive dissonance.
