Norm beef. You invest in AIM shares that can move 5-20 percent in a day sometimes. Why is the crypto market any more volatile? The big difference between the fourth rally cycle of BTC and previous cycles has been Institutional buying. There is a good macro interview with Microstrategy investor Michael Saylor which came out on 7th discussing his view on money printing, gold vs BTC and Institutional involvement in Crypto. Tudor, Ruffer, JPM, Mass Mutual, Brevan Howard, Harvard , Fidelity are all pretty good at this investing lark (I would argue top of class) so maybe you should so easily dismiss this as it seems to be a reason why fewer allocations are coming into gold and more into Cryptos. Dan_pantera on Twitter is someone you should look at for end valuations and education in this area. I used to trade Emerging Markets and a lot of what I am seeing now is very similar to the start of Less Develped Country investments where we would argue that Bond Funds should put in 0.5% of their allocation into EM growth countries. That is now widely adopted so I wouldn’t listen to all the Tulip bubble stories. BTC MCAP is now 760BN vs 7TRN for GOLD. It wouldn’t surprise me to see BTC 5 times higher...For 1 % of your NW it could go to zero or could become at least 5%. Just like AIM isn’t it?
