The Concerns about Bitcoin
Bitcoin has a volatile price history. An article on Portfolio Lab says there have been 16 drawdowns of 20% or more in the past 16 years. There have been four crashes of 75% or more in the past 15 years plus another three of around 50% in that time-frame. That amounts to one 20% drawdown each year on average, one 50% (or so) drawdown every two years(ish), and one 75%+ crash every four years. At times, there have been no real reasons to cite, but that won’t stop us from looking for what’s different this time and what causes are being cited for the current drawdown (currently a little over 50%).

🚨 ALERT: The Trump-Vance administration has dropped a bombshell on America’s enemies, announced that “No more taxpayer dollars for hostile nations that hate America. If you vote against us at the UN, chant ‘Death to America,’or fund anti-American NGOs, you’re cut off. Period.”
"It's been a long time. Carrying on the tradition, passing it down to Jalen. He's the guy now that has to carry it. You got to capitalize when you get there, so we're gonna stay on him."

My father was a Special Forces operator with two tours in Vietnam and 20 years of service. To all those like my father, we all say thank you for your sacrifices. Without them we wouldn’t have the greatest country on Earth.
I genuinely feel bad for the people who have the good fortune of living in America, yet spend all their time hating the country that provides them so much opportunity.

I explained to @MariaBartiromo this morning on Fox Business.
(6 of 6) For luxury goods, decreases in price—with other variables held constant—will frequently provoke decreased consumption. It seems mixing traditional consumer equities with luxury goods consumer equities in a portfolio’s consumer segment should reduce variability.
(5 of 6) At a constant income level, the consumption of a given luxury product will increase if the price is increased, even if the product quality and other characteristics remain constant.
(1 of 6) Luxury goods are consumer products with unique income- and price-elasticity characteristics. It should be evident that, as a category, consumer goods are income-elastic. In other words, consumption of such products rises with increased income.
