Bitcoin

not likely bitcoin will be $20k in 5 years.

Prediction tool based on the CAPE, now very high at about 31, (take it for what it's worth) predicts negative stock market returns over the next eight years or so:

I don't know anything about Bitcoin, except that someone like Shiller thinks the entire market is irrational.

Quantitative tightening will probably be important going forward with Fed holding over $4T in mortgage-backed securities and treasuries. At the very least QT should raise interest rates and lower the demand for stocks. So the outlook for stocks really looks bad. QE was an experiment and QT continues that experiment.

@Random didn’t the fed announce recently that they’ve put QT on pause? I heard the consensus view is that the Fed might even start to lower rates.

Yes QT (or some are calling quantitative unwinding) was put on hold.

Disappointing, nobody here believes in Bitcoin.

What are the chances you lose all your money if you buy bitcoin v. losing all your money if you buy an S&P index fund?

No more than 5-10% of your investable assets should go to speculation, such as bitcoin.

Before investing a cent in bitcoin I would change it all into quarters and throw themn at people while I drove up and dopwn Las Vegas Blvd. Makes more sense financially.

@Jimmy McNulty the chances you lose all of your money investing in the S & P or the Dow are very little, I own a little bitcoin actually sold off more than my original investment last year, what I hold now is just some gambling money, it could go to zero or the wheel could land on my number

@skibum in the last 5 years the value of bitcoin has increased about 530%, whereas the value of those quarters has decreased about 7%. Hope you don’t throw away your bitcoins!
