US retirement plans could fuel Bitcoin rally to $200K despite downturn: Finance Redefined

Despite this week’s market downturn, some analysts predict that the inclusion of digital assets in US 401(k) retirement plans may unlock billions of dollars in new inflows by the fall, potentially driving Bitcoin to record highs.

This “bullish” development may be “bigger than the US Bitcoin ETF approval itself,” signaling another $122 billion worth of new capital while assuming a modest 1% portfolio allocation, Dragosch told Cointelegraph during the Chain Reaction daily X spaces show on Monday, throwing in a price prediction for good measure:

“The official prediction remains $200,000 by the end of the year.”
“If you look at 401(K) and defined-contribution retirement plans in the US, they are huge,” said Dragosch, adding that 1% was a “relatively conservative” allocation estimate for the $12.2 trillion industry.

It's not a bad idea to have BTCbefore reaching a very advanced age to live much more peacefully, Let's remember that old age lasts longer than any other stage of life.

Haha you’ve been sleeping on Buddy for the past 2 weeks... Richy_T mentioned it was the reason it’s been double posting earlier

.. the CPU fan died on that so I reenabled CB on the original server and when the new fan came in and I got *that* fixed and turned back on, I forgot to disable CB on one or the other.

Now that explains better..

The ATH thing is because someone mentioned it and that started it rattling around in my head again. It was time for a bit of a refurb anyway and it still needs some more, to be honest.

Yeah the ATH looks cool in the mid
Bull and Bear Power could be cool on it aswell ..

Pics of my Ham stuff were indeed mine and not fake. Do you want to see my Ham license without my name/address or callsign?  

Not really. Just show us your gear, slightly rearranged, with a handwritten sheet of paper reading "WO BTCETFInvestor".

Geez, Do all newbies have to go through this shit?

You're lucky we didn't put you through the PSC (Physical Shit Cascade), a device that sprays organic material on candidate members of the WO going through a glass tunnel while a few webcams record the scene from different viewpoints.

Not to glorify trading, but there are likely ways to learn too, as long as we do not get too greedy, and personally I could not justify more than 10% of my BTC holdings being employed in such direction, yet there are likely some guys (based on their skill set) who might be able to reasonably justify 30% or more of the size of their BTC holdings getting deployed in such trading/hedging plays.

Nice to see an ole curmudgeon still alive and kicking. 

Are you saying that you agree or no?

I'm saying thinking you're superskilledtrader (that's the rhetorical 'you', not accusatorially being the JJG you) and risking 30% on any single trade is more likely than not gonna backfire. Maybe not the first time, but certainly at some point. And likely kill you in the end.

OTOH, I'm still selling the rip and buying the dip. Like clockwork.
