Is there a more important investible asset on the planet right now than $ETH? If you had to own only one digital asset, this is it, IMO. I think many more are valuable (and I own a lot of others), but it is incredible to me how critical ethereum is and how everyone can own it.

The most shocking thing to me about the whole GameStop $GME Reddit thing is the level of disdain, vitriol, arrogance and dismissiveness towards "retail", "Robinhood" and "reddit" investors. It reminds me of how quickly social media, dating apps and crypto were dismissed.

Yes. And this is why FB, Twitter, Google, etc *are* media companies. They sell attention to advertisers.
