Not sure about bitcoin. But blockchain technology is going to be an important aspect of the continued tech evolution of transferring information and data across the industrial world. Bitcoin is a speculative asset and doesn't have a lot of industrial or financial uses.
Bought a bit, and sold on a bounce. Visionary CEO. Morphing into wider markets. Innovative. Hiccup recently. Be careful with these highly valued names. He'd be interested in the low $60s.
He's never understood bitcoin, or why regular people would want to transact in it. This last timeframe is a perfect example. Why has bitcoin suddenly fallen 40%? No one fully understands why, and he's not the guy to ask. He's boring and stays away from it.

The last quarter was excellent and blew away estimates. It is 43X earnings--expensive, but not crazily so considering its growth. Robinhood's recent momentum adds fuel to a growing and reengaging customer base, with the accelerated pace of net deposits and Gold-subscription growth the strongest year to date in the most recent monthly data available. Sustaining it is key, with promotions a likely support after fueling the robust 1Q pace that helped lift monthly active users to 13.7 million in 1Q -- the highest since 2Q22. Mr. Tenev is a huge crypto advocate, and has done a decent job growing the company so far. He has a lot to learn as a newly-public CEO, and has certainly made lots of mistakes. But we do think he is improving. We do not really know Mr. Bhatt's story very well. Bloomberg shows insiders at about 4%.
