Still forming an opinion on asset allocation, but my current thinking is: 1. Just Bitcoin would probably be the best option - simplest, and clear story as successor to gold 2. If folks wanted more variety, you could do a market cap weighted index of crypto assets to keep it unbiased But probably option #1 is easiest</a>

A new level of corruption.🧵 [1. First, Sacks' company @craft_ventures has been invested in a startup called @BitwiseInvest since at least 2017. David Sacks is listed as the primary investor. 2. Right now, @BitwiseInvest is celebrating because the main crypto coins going into the Crypto Strategic Reserve fund **just so happen to match Bitwise's top 5 crypto holdings.</a>
