Nice to get off to a good start- but I'm hearing the TV pundits speculate that Bitcoin's weakness could be the cause of today's lackluster market finish- Hope that is not the case....
A number of companies are backing away from bringing Bitcoin ETF's to market- a lot of applications are being withdrawn..... BLOK is an ETF that launches Wednesday -seems to own a lot of associa-ted companies - Nvda, Square, Taiwan semi-OSTK and other companies that are associated with the technology-
If I could short- I would certainly consider a short position in this ETF- as bitcoin is losing ground at the present time. It may regain it's footing, so i wouldn't bet the bank- JMHO.

Here's the chartlist- stockcharts.com/public/1675108

Interesting. Buying at the Friday close would have yielded dramatically different results than buying at the open today. Huge gap down over the long weekend.
Friday close 16.63.
Today open 13.90
Close today 15.56
Buying at the close Friday produced a 6.43% loss today.
Buying at the open this morning gave an 11.94% gain.

Extremely volatile may not adequately describe this . . . this thing. -ira

Volatility appears to be here-this week-
2 NEW Blockchain etf'S BLOK & BLCN started trading yesterday.

Is the sell-off in Bitcoin at a bottom?
RIOT put in a reversal attempt yesterday, that had some follow thru higher today.
Purchased a whopping 11 shares-blcn with some spare freed $$$-
About All I'm willing to speculate/lose - on this 'technology'-
I'll change my Horse to BLCN LONG @ the FC.
Stop $23.75
