Warren Buffet is probably the most legendary investor alive, and famously explained his company's strategy as "we simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful." As an aside, his company Berkshire Hathaway has a record $325 billion in cash, which speaks to how he views the current market.

CoinMarketCap's shows the sentiment for the crypto market as "extreme greed".
That’s cool and history is littered with the zeroed out account statements of all sorts of great contrarians. If I’m wrong, I’ll sell but remind me again of newtons first law of physics.

I believe he has been sitting in large amounts of cash since 2020/21, granted more now but that has not been a good move.
He was making 80% of his annual return sitting in treasury bills. Why wouldn’t he just keep it there the amount of weight the rest of his equity portfolio had to pull his reduce significantly just by the value made in cash

What was his annual return vs other assets/indexes? Tbills did not outperform multiple asset classes or real inflation for that matter.

Wow, you have no idea what you're talking about.

For others, who might be able to learn something, Warren Buffet's investment skill built Berkshire Hathaway into a $1 trillion (USD) dollar company. He beat the S&P 500 for decades, which is why his company is near the top of the S&P 500 (just below the big tech firms). He buys quality companies at a fair price, and prefers to hold them forever. I'm surprised he even beat the S&P 500 over the past 5 years, despite the S&P 500 doubling from 2019-2021. He deservedly is a legendary investor who has been through market cycles before any of us were born.

Money and investments are not governed by the laws of physics. During the pandemic, trillions of dollars were created - there is no conservation of dollars. Crypto and stock prices can surge and fall based on future expectations - but an object doesn't stop falling until it hits the ground. Pretending the stock market obeys Newton's laws is a very ignorant view that should be rectified by education. An object full of sh!t remains full of sh!t until acted on by knowledge.

How long before you simply admit you were wrong?

In other words, when do actual real world results start to matter?

I mean, is your ego going to allow that to happen or will you continue to be in denial for the rest of your life?

Since 2011, Bitcoin having an ROI of 9,000,000% versus the stock market's 300% and Gold's 50-60% should get your attention.


The fact that large institutions, banks and the government have declared Bitcoin as a new asset class and are heavily invested and have built divisions around them, spending millions of dollars to do so should let you know that it isn't going away anytime soon.

Psychologically in these situations, people often times cannot admit they were wrong because their ego won't let them and they simply double and triple down on their original thoughts even as it continues to be shown to be more and more wrong.

The question is, will this be you?

So why does Renaissance Tech, the world’s most successful hedge fund, quantitative only, developed out of MIT, far superior to Warren , hire only astrophysicists?

btw , Berkshire Hathaway is absolutely no better than the S&P 500 in terms of performance. When value investing was a thing, when Nixon repealed Bretton Woods, then mergers took off, when Glass Steagal was repealed, he had a great 20 years. He’s just a culture icon now. He is no more or less than that.

Altcoin season is going to be mind bending when it happens. I am loaded up and have been staking and restaking the earned ones.

Once BTC.D starts going down after peaking then you know the money will start flowing into Alts. Right now BTC.D is like a runaway freight train heading towards 70%....currently at like 61.5% and showing no signs of slowing down.

How risk managed are companies that declare bankruptcy and whose stocks become worthless virtually overnight?
When you own a fraction of a portfolio and then cut losses quickly it’s okay to spread bets out. I am not anti crypto.
