Asked a financial advisor friend recently what they assume for real returns in their typical portfolio (think 60/40) - he said 6%.
I asked if someone allocated 10% of that portfolio to #Bitcoin ETFs, what would the expected real return be.
He looked me dead in the guy, didn't even smile, and just said "Oh, still 6%. We just kind of assume that is about what you're going to get."
Even if he'd said something like 3% because they believed bitcoin would underperform, I'd have taken that as a real answer. But to blindly say "6% is what you get regardless of the bucket of assets you invest in" is beyond a disservice.
Friend is a handyman, kinda gets #bitcoin a little. I told him he should be the local “bitcoin Handyman “and that every bitcoiner in our area who would support him.
He told his wife and this was our conversation…

Sitting on the front porch working/reading before the kids get up - been awake for two hours, hitting the sauna, working out, stretching, my normal routine.

Pre-Bitcoin our lives looked very different. This is the way 💪
If you don't know anything about #bitcoin but have heard that it's going to zero or it's boiling the oceans or it's tulip bulb mania or "it's not backed by anything"...
I'd encourage you humble yourself enough to ask questions. It is beating the hell out of whatever your financial advisor is telling you to do and there is a reason why. It isn't magic, it's math.
If Wall Street wants to buy #bitcoin, fine. It's for enemies too, right?
But it's up to us to fight to keep Bitcoin as cypherpunk as we can for as long as possible...
