I only invest via ETFs. My bonds are in BND and BIV.
Crypto is in IBIT, GBTC, BTC, ETHA, ETHE, ETH.
Yes, if I had gotten into crypto 5 years ago, different story, but that's not my risk appetite. Crypto is 5% of my portfolio. Just funny that boring old US bonds are outperforming it this year.
I think it’s hard to compare crypto to bonds. Bonds are mostly bought for income and capital preservation, whereas crypto is a pure speculation, even more speculative than stocks. Really, totally apples and oranges to me.
And, I am not hyping crypto, I own none of it.
