Episode notes

ADVICE

Dollar Cost Average Into Bitcoin Positions

Dollar-cost average into Bitcoin over time rather than trying to time the bottom.
Yusko describes buying 5% of a fund's target, split into 20 weekly purchases to avoid trying to pick a precise bottom.

INSIGHT

Price And Market Cap Are Misleading Metrics

Price and market cap are poor measures of true value because they reflect the last small trade and ignore unavailable or lost supply.
Yusko stresses market cap multiplies current price by mythical total supply, overstating real economic ownership.

INSIGHT

Small Bitcoin Allocations Boost Portfolio Efficiency

Even a small allocation to Bitcoin materially improves portfolio efficiency because of its low long-term correlation and volatility profile.
Yusko claims a 1% Bitcoin allocation can boost return-per-risk ~20%, compounding ~200 bps annually.
