“There is a difference between being politically black and being racially black.”
— Nikole Hannah-Jones
According to this paper by BlackRock analysts (and not a BlackRock paper, there is a big difference there):
- the investor following the 20/80 equity/fixed income portfolio should have 12.5% allocated to #Bitcoin
- the investor with a 60/40 portfolio (one of the most traditional in the American market) should have an 84.9% allocation in bitcoin
- Investors with an 80/20 portfolio should have an allocation of 106.6%. that's right, anyone who has 80% of the stock in their portfolio should be leveraged according to this article.
BlackRock analysts are more bullish than all of us combined.
The economy explained ... all over the world. I died laughing listening to this.

Dilma, former president of Brazil and current president of the BRICS bank, will meet today with Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, within the framework of the Russia-Africa summit.
Dilma proposed to lend money to Putin through the BRICS bank, a bank whose cash is made up of money from member countries of that forum, including Brazil, but the Brazilian proposal was barred by, believe it or not, Xi Jinping's China.
Xi Jinping said no to the Brazilian loan proposal, citing fears of sanctions from the US and its allies, as he knows that any loan to Russia will be used by Putin to finance his invasion of Ukraine.
