Bitcoin in the VP

Re: Bitcoin in the VP
I notice that as the price of his stock and bitcoin has gone down, he's become more unhinged in his interviews.
Interestingly, despite the incredible drop, the stock is still selling at a net asset value multiple of 1.19. It's hard to make the argument it's particularly undervalued.

Re: Bitcoin in the VP
I saw him on Fox Biz yesterday and he seemed ok, but…I’m still afraid to buy in, even though I love the concept of using it as a medium of exchange.

Re: Bitcoin in the VP
there are endless dr frankenstein versions of the pp tried over the years and the end results are that other assets are just to wishy washy and not strongly linked to specific outcomes

it’s like real estate as an example .Smith1776 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 15, 2026 7:00 pmI feel called out LOLmathjak107 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 15, 2026 1:03 pm there are endless dr frankenstein versions of the pp tried over the years and the end results are that other assets are just to wishy washy and not strongly linked to specific outcomes
not only is it localized but if rates go up like we just had , most desirable areas went up except if they don’t
if rates go down like 2008 real estate went down .
2008 saw silver plunge with other commodities while gold went up
energy has been a mixed bag
so very few assets actually couple themselves fairly reliably to economic outcomes
Re: Bitcoin in the VP
The PP was devised as a potentially safer alternative to T-Bills
Expectations :
Stock share prices broadly compare to inflation
Gold price broadly compares to inflation
Hard cash lags inflation, but with stock dividends added compares to inflation
If instead of hard cash we deposit those safely into T-Bills that adds to expected rewards.
Thirds stock/gold/cash (T-Bills) might broadly exceed inflation, support the return of your inflation adjusted money via 25 year 4% SWR.
Instead of 33% stock, holding 11% in a 3x stock fund, or combination of such funds, where bitcoin might be considered as fitting into that group. With some rounding, 10% in 3x stock, 30% gold, 60% T-Bills, where the 10% 3x might be held as 2.5% in each of bitcoin, SPXL (3x S&P500), TQQQ (3x QQQ) and MIDU (3x midcap stock). Collectively a diverse set of individual stocks/sectors. Rebalance once/year (so if any of the 3x holdings do endure bad times the downside loss is capped).

Re: Bitcoin in the VP
frugal, there’s no asset that you should add. You add what you want. It’s money that you can afford to lose.
Anything I buy that is not a pp asset, I consider part of the Vp. Individual stocks, silver coins.

Where did you find that portfolio
Very smart …
Can you test without bitcoin and during the maximum data you have available?
All the best !
Re: Bitcoin in the VP
Hi
I don’t want to lose
PP performance inflation adjusted in the last 20-30 years is 4%?
The SWR is about 3-4% so it lasts forever?

Japan since the 1950's (US 3x stock, Japanese cash, gold (silver pre 1970) and similar for the UK (since 1930's) also had good results.
ULPIX is a 2x fund with actual data back to 1998, comparing 10% in 3x (60% cash) with 15% in 2x (55% cash) [both having 30% gold] since SPXL (3x) has data available and the two compared closely, so reflecting that back to 1998 6x nominal gain factor (6.6% annualized)
