.@ricedelman, who founded $300bil investment advisory firm Edelman Financial Engines…. Recommends *40%* crypto allocation for aggressive investors. 10% for conservative. Says owning crypto is no longer a speculative position; failing to do so is. Look at these takeaways.

15 years ago, in the first recorded instance of Bitcoin being used buy a physical item, two pizzas were purchased for 10,000 BTC. Today Bitcoin is globally recognized as digital gold with a market cap of over $2 trillion. What an amazing journey. Happy #BitcoinPizzaDay!.

Quiet excellence rarely gets the loud recognition it deserves. My friend & colleague @kimtraut is crushing it @DRWtrading. Kim plays the long game every day, and it's awesome to see her score yet another massive W with this @krakenfx / @NinjaTrader deal! 🚀.
