Yeah. If someone wants to do a levered bet on tech, they should. This is essentially what Cathie Wood is selling. So let's just drop the BS.

Peter Thiel gave a speech at a Bitcoin conference a few months back where he explained Bitcoin price movement resembling a levered tech stock. And I'll say, it makes a lot of sense and dispels the whole idea of Bitcoin being an inflation hedge.

Bitcoin is not backed by any fundamental at all. Any movement up or down is pure speculation.
