Minority Mindset

Well now, a new year’s here, bringing fresh faces eager to lose their money and fresh tools for keepin’ it safe. With crypto prices risin’ faster than a Mississippi riverboat, wallets are just about as important as a boat and a paddle. Gone are the days of memorizing long strings of words-seed phrases are throwin’ a fit and takin’ a backseat while cloud backups and clever tricks take center stage.

Grayscale Investments, a crypto titan with the grace of a drunk elephant, has submitted a Form S-1 (a bureaucratic relic older than blockchain itself) to the SEC, petulantly demanding to convert its NEAR Trust into a spot ETF. One can only wonder if this is the pinnacle of capitalism or a tragicomedy of errors.

While gold basks in the adoration of panic-stricken investors, Bitcoin skulks in the shadows, failing to inspire even the faintest flutter of safe-haven enthusiasm. “It is being sold,” Novogratz lamented, as if describing a poorly reviewed West End play.
