for whom? not for me

lost 90% of purchasing power

-23% but not in real terms, more like 90% purchasing power lost

no dividends

even qqq is up 2% and they pay a dividend (down net too)

aapl is up 17% plus a dividend

brkb up 33%

nvidia up 56%

i feel i have been impoverished by buying bitcoin

selling well performing shares which are up and up

and btc was pushed down for two years

also as i said no return, no dividend. complete disaster so far. i hope it will change
