He has a fairly negative view on it. The USD, for example, has a value that the Federal Reserve can defend. The USD is accepted anywhere in the world, anchored to a basket of goods, and will maintain its value +/- a couple of percentage points.
Bitcoin has none of that. Huge volatility. Doesn't know how you can pin a value on it. And if you can't do that, how can you use it to trade as a currency?
Sold a couple of months ago on poor performance. Questions about health of lower-income consumer have been flagged on conference calls, and this concern is creeping up even to the medium-income consumer. Taking steps to increase price points. An improving consumer would be a tailwind. If he had to choose, this would be his pick.
He doesn't generally participate in the E&P space, as it's hard to make decisions based on the underlying commodity price. Bigger picture, still huge demand for Canadian oil and gas on world markets. EVs won't take over anytime soon.

Very strong operations. Very focused on shareholders by returning $$ to them and paying down debt. Would have been his top choice, until SU ended up turning things around.
Trades at 30x earnings, but it's warranted. Part of a duopoly, and has branched out into analytic services from its core business. Benefits from switching from cash to digital. Huge moat. There will always be regulatory risk. Happy to hold.
