QUICK POLL
🚀 Is bitcoin the new gold… or just digital fool’s gold?
Bitcoin just hit a fresh all-time high this week at $122,838. Some people are calling it the future of money. Others still think it sounds like a fancy video game token.
We’re not here to convince anyone one way or the other. Just curious: is crypto something you’re watching, buying, or totally ignoring?
