Actually, I did mention bitcoin. I also added IBIT, the largest bitcoin ETF, to the Control Panel.

I'm with you there. All cryptocurrencies are inherently speculative. Like gold, they don't produce interest or dividends and can't be used as currency to buy stuff. Unlike gold, they do not have a physical existence and could evaporate into the ether in the event of an electronic interruption like another Carrington event.
