Larry and I are on the same page : NEWS BLACKROCK CEO LARRY FINK SAYS BITCOIN "IS AN ASSET CLASS THAT PROTECTS YOU" The worlds largest asset manager CEO says Bitcoin is no different that what gold represented for thousands of years. In a notable statement, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has expressed a positive perspective on Bitcoin during an interview today with CNBC, affirming that it "is an asset that protects you." "I believe it goes up if the world is frightened, if the people have fearful geopolitical risks, they're fearful of their own risks," said Fink. "It's no different than what gold represented over thousands of years. It is an asset class that protects you." Fink's recognition of Bitcoin as a protective asset suggests helps shift the narrative surrounding the digital currency, emphasizing its role as a safeguard amid economic uncertainties. This endorsement from the head of the world's largest asset management firm is a significant milestone for Bitcoin's acceptance within mainstream financial circles. "Unlike gold where we manufacture new gold, we're almost at the ceiling of the amount of Bitcoin that can be created," Fink continued. "What we're trying to do is offer an instrument that can store wealth."

I heard Blackrock has a good marketing department, but they messed up the color scheme on their chart, it's green green green red, green green green, red, green
