Looking back at our portfolio choices... maybe the real alpha was sitting in plain sight all along. Physical silver, gold bars, even those Pokémon cards gathering dust in closets—turns out they might've been the smarter play.
While we were chasing leverage and riding volatility waves in crypto markets, traditional stores of value just kept quietly appreciating. No liquidations. No smart contract risks. Just tangible assets doing what they've done for decades.
Not saying crypto was wrong. But diversification? That's looking pretty genius right about now. Sometimes the boring stuff wins.

Haha, I can't stop laughing. My dusty cards suddenly became valuable?
It's a bit late to realize now. Why didn't I do this earlier?

Haha, that hurt. My pile of Pokémon cards is really more risk-resistant than my leveraged positions.
