Thought/heard somewhere that they already did own thousands of bitcoins ??

EDIT ... the duck shouted out https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-as ... -bitcoins/
The US currently holds roughly 207,000 bitcoin

last thing i think investors with already existing substantial positions want an investment to do is to fall and become affordable again

usually as time goes on what most investors can add in a down turn doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in performance vs the set back a drop in price causes .

it’s like at one time a good bear market in stocks maybe meant a few months of contributions to my 401k were wiped away .

today a mere 7% drop wipes out more then a decade of contributions at max.

what would get added is peeing in the ocean compared to the effect the drop would have

Well, you’re old enough to know that assets don’t continually rise, no matter what one wants.
And, I’m still young enough to happily accumulate as the price goes down.

Got my first gold Libertad today, influenced by Mark Leavy.

It’s just a 1/4 oz since they’re way more expensive than other gold coins. I’m used to crown gold and thought it looked a bit too yellow, almost green under the light, but it does indeed look beautiful under the skylight. I need a new light.

Got a silver one, too.

Silver Libertads are really beautiful coins. I haven't seen a gold one other than internet pictures. Does it (the gold Libertad) have the same detail as the silver version?
