#Strategy加仓BTC 🔥Well-known investment tycoon criticizes certain assets: preservation of value is self-deception, there is no pricing logic at all



Famous capitalist Max recently made a bold statement. He straightforwardly said: those claiming to "preserve value" are essentially fooling themselves. Why? Because they neither generate cash flow nor have any solid valuation basis; their pricing is entirely guesswork.

Compared to assets like $ETH that generate actual returns, some traditional assets are like "The Emperor's New Clothes"—everyone says they are valuable, so they are.

Stocks are supported by profits, bonds pay interest, but what about these assets? Max pointed out that even with strong logic, once market sentiment shifts, prices can plummet. History has repeatedly shown: without intrinsic value support, hype will eventually cool off.

That said, central bank actions and geopolitical situations still pushed their prices higher. Last year, the increase was 7%. But in Max's view, this rally will eventually fade—because it is fundamentally just a shared belief, and beliefs are unreliable. Serious investors should still choose assets with real returns.

Max, what you said isn't entirely correct. Faith in the crypto world is essentially the value itself.

Damn, you're criticizing certain assets again, acting like you understand them so well.

Pricing logic? Bro, Bitcoin doesn't even have logic, yet it keeps rising like this.

Shared belief isn't unreliable; that's called market consensus. Get it straight before talking.

This kind of view is a bit outdated; the market has already proven what it's worth.

Whether faith is valuable or not can be seen from the holdings.

Max is right, but isn't that 7% increase attractive...

Faith is valuable, otherwise why would BTC rise so fiercely

Exactly, but no one listens

Now they're hyping ETH's actual returns again, I don't believe you

Preservation of value? It's just gambling on the central bank, don't pretend to be so sophisticated

Yeah, that's right, but I still bought it

Haha, you're right. That's exactly how I got caught... I see the MACD golden cross and rush in, but I didn't even notice the head and shoulders pattern.

Max's recent criticism is indeed heartfelt, but honestly, it's just supporting certain things.

That's right, things without cash flow will eventually fail, but faith... sometimes it's just about money.

I don't believe everything is valuable, but who can say for sure? Anyway, I still sleep with BTC buried.

Good morning, the liquidity trap at 3 a.m. Max's set of arguments has become tiresome; no one wants to admit they're just eating a sandwich without any valuation basis.

Max is right, faith really can't be relied upon; it still comes down to cash flow.

That's why I still stick to BTC and ETH, at least there's logical support.

Shared belief in this... just listen, don't take it seriously.

Relying on geopolitical situations and central banks to support prices? Eventually, it'll turn around.

Assets with no returns are ultimately castles in the air.

Look at history—how many "consensus" have collapsed in the end?

Wake up, it's time to change your approach.

Max's words do make sense, but when it comes to faith... who can rely entirely on reason? It's all a gamble on whether the other side is dumber than oneself.

Max's words hit the nail on the head; faith-driven assets indeed can't last long

To be honest, things without cash flow are ultimately虚的, and will eventually return to fundamentals

The central bank's liquidity injection gave a boost, but how long this wave can last is really uncertain

Max, that's not entirely correct. No cash flow means no value? Then why is BTC skyrocketing? He doesn't understand faith-based economics.

Max's words hit the nail on the head; faith can't withstand testing.

Pricing based on gut feeling will eventually fail; it's better to stick with assets that have cash flow.

Wait, a 7% increase isn't still a profit? No matter how strong the logic, it can't stop the central bank's printing press.

I just want to ask, what exactly are traditional assets? Feels like criticizing gold but also like criticizing a certain coin.

Are assets with intrinsic value really that easy to find? Stocks hitting daily limit downs, I don't see much intrinsic value there.

Faith may be unreliable, but making money is the real pain point.
