 I had a simmilar experience with a pension I want to roll over, but the rules don't allow ETF's.

The financial advisor said I should use an aggressive fund that yields 12% and that's a good thing because bitcoin is down 15% or whatever. 

I didn't even mention bitcoin. but I have bitcoin art on my wall. 🤣

I told him how much it was when I started stacking and he abruptly ended the video chat.🤣

It made me realize that a well diversified trad-fi investment is really just matching the increase in monetary Inflation.  The entire "system" is about preserving present day spending power over the long term.

In that system, 12% keeps you from sinking with the Titanic, but it's no way to build generational wealth.

Bitcoin is a new system, a p2p electronic cash system that makes no sense in the old system. That's why it's so difficult to orange pill people in the old system. That's my two sats anyway.
