Bitcoin below $20K. Who would have thought?

Back in February, as I was doing my taxes in the USA, I asked the people at H&R Block about Crypto, expecting a reply along the lines of "it is a Ponzi". I was told it was a solid investment; you could get a 10% profit in a week or two. They had one person there, solely dedicated to crypto. He claimed it was, again, solid, "fluctuating between 37K and 47K. So you buy low and sell high".
I was wondering if these people were listening to themselves. And now I wonder if next year I will look for another accountant to do my taxes.

Elon has done some very interesting things. Tesla produces technically interesting cars, the designs are clean, and SpaceX will lead in many important technological areas about space.
But, as a personality, he is becoming pretty boring and, at times, borderline ridiculous. This whole farce just adds to that, IMO.

I don't pretend to understand everything Musk has put at risk here but the only way he can fulfill the deal is by selling a ton of Tesla stock. This was true from the beginning. The Twitter board is basically saying you're not getting away with this and we don't care if we destroy you in the process.

The thread by Morgan Ricks is also fascinating.
