Crypto? Still not for me.
I’ve never traded crypto — though a client once gave me €100 worth of Bitcoin just so I’d “have an interest.” He was mad about it. I’m still suspicious, but whatever.
I can see the correlation between crypto and the S&P500. That part makes sense. The S&P500 is real — real companies, real profits, real value. Crypto, on the other hand, feels a bit like the time I walked through Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas: lots of hopeful, slightly delusional people, very net long on their dreams.
People keep saying we could be heading for another dot-com-style crash. I was around for the first one, and honestly, it does feel familiar — especially with all the current hype around AI and the idea that everything’s about to change forever.
Every month I put a little money into the S&P500 through my pension. It’s just a simple tracker fund — no manager there to overthink things or mess it up with bad timing. If the market drops, I’ll simply increase the contributions and pick up more units at lower prices.
Crypto? Still not for me. There’s plenty of opportunity in the real markets — and plenty of money to be made in forex — without wandering into the casino.
