I said from day one that the #PPP would be rife with fraud. None of the 600 asset management firms that got "loans" needed the money. They got paid to retain workers they had no intention of firing. I could have taken the free money myself, but didn't want to lie to obtain it.

In such a new asset class how would anyone know if #bitcoin or other #cryptocurrencies are #correlated to #equities ? xitter.gq/simondixontwitt/status…
Every fund manager in the world will have to have #Bitcoin in their portfolio over the coming years whether they believe in it or not as it’s an uncorrelated asset. The questions is who will buy it cheapest before all the others?
