Bitcoin: I'm Certainly Not Buying Now

I don't own any crypto currencies,  I never have owned any crypto currencies and I say that with great embarrassment. I wish I had obviously but now there are two thousand of them from a few years ago. I mean this is what bubbles feel like, look like  and sound like as you well know. 

So is it a bubble? I don't know  but it looks like it, it feels like. You look at the charts of Bitcoin and the others, I mean they could look like any other bubble, they all look the same, all bubbles throughout history have looked and felt the same. I'm certainly not buying any now.

Q: What do you think about Bitcoin?

I'm not sure you should ask me because I have never bought one Bitcoin. If I were smart, I would have bought them nine years ago, seven years ago, five years ago or even five months ago. So I don't know. If I just showed you charts of what's going on and described without telling you which country or which time periods, you would say "Oh, that looks like a bubble, sounds like a bubble." It does! But don't ask me because I missed the whole thing.
