Not _any_. I can live in a house while it appreciates.

I can take dividends (in dollars) from certain stocks.

But not crypto (or non dividend stocks)

I’d argue that stocks without dividends are also a greater fool’s game.

But back to the original point, so you agree that crypto is a greater fools game, financially.
