Same, pretty sure the whole team is buying (small) amounts of bitcoin. Reminds me of the story of the guy who dodged the great depression because he pulled his stocks when his taxi driver starting giving him tips.


That was Joe Kennedy. JFK's father


Not only did he pull out of stocks but he was shorting the market.


and the tips came from a shoeshine boy.


don't pay too much attention to stories like that, there are easily countless stories that serve as counterpoint. example, warren buffett mentioned several times in his writings that very often, it's the regular folks who are more capable of spotting potential new investments rather than institutional investors, because they can see businesses succeeding in the real world much sooner than institutional investors spot them on balance sheets.


I heard recently of form workers/construction workers giving a friend crypto tips. Its everywhere.
