Anyone IB analysts actually invest in bitcoin?

Bitcoin is going insane. Any IB analysts/associates actually invest in bitcoin?

Does not make any sense to me but wanted to survey how many of you have bitcoin and if so how much? At this point I might as well dump a quarter of my savings into it lmao

Given that analysts have so many trading restrictions to the point where only a SPY ETF is really able to be freely moved around, I'd be surprised if people on the IB/private side weren't taking advantage of crypto. Call it crazy or gambling, but it's really the only high risk-reward investment they could get involved in that doesn't take a ton of time. 

 

Bought in at around 9k during the summer and have 4x’d a measly four figures into five figures. Kicking myself as I had six figures in cash on the sidelines at the time and thought about investing more. Always depressing to see the degenerates who truly yolo their life savings into crypto and make a killing while unemployed in their parents basement.
