Don't remind me again today

The head of the Czech Central Bank recently put forward an interesting viewpoint - rather than forcibly increasing the US stock position from 38% to 50%, it would be better to allocate 2.5% of the entire savings to invest in a Bitcoin ETF. The reason is simple: the expected returns are about the same, but the additional fluctuation risk is actually smaller.



What's even more ruthless is the backtesting data: if 5% of the reserves were invested in Bitcoin over the past ten years, the annualized return could earn an additional 3.5 percentage points. Of course, the cost is also evident—overall volatility would double. How to calculate this depends on the risk appetite of each Central Bank. The fact that traditional financial institutions are starting to seriously consider Bitcoin as an option speaks volumes.
BTC-6.4%

The Central Bank has started playing with Bitcoin, this deadlock has really arrived. 2.5% may not seem like much, but this is a signal, brother. It's true that the Volatility has doubled, but the returns are indeed tempting. The key point is that once traditional institutions move, the following trend won't stop. In fact, it's just about betting on the long-term narrative of BTC. Since the Central Bank is betting, what are we retail investors still hesitating about?

Central Banks have started to account for Bitcoin, which is indeed a signal. However, the fact that volatility has doubled... those with a high-risk appetite might be fine, but conservatives will definitely lose sleep.

The Czech Central Bank really dares to say anything, a 2.5% allocation to Bitcoin, and can still sleep with the volatility doubling? I just can't understand it. The Central Bank has started to dabble in coins, this business really needs to be recalculated. This logic is a bit absurd, same returns but with lower risk? I feel like it's just empty talk. Earning an extra 3.5 percentage points annually sounds easy, but a doubling in volatility is the real killer move, okay? Traditional Financial Institutions are taking it seriously, what does that mean? Does it mean Bitcoin is about to rise? Investing 5% for ten years could yield this much, I wish I had known sooner, it's never too late. As for the Central Bank's risk appetite, to put it bluntly, it still depends on the political climate. As for the doubling of volatility, how many conservative Central Banks can swallow that? I think it's doubtful.

Central Banks have started to allocate Bitcoin, and now the TradFi circle really can’t sit still, haha. An annualized increase of 3.5 percentage points, with volatility doubling; to put it simply, it’s a trade-off between returns vs. heart intensity. Five years ago, saying this would have gotten you roasted, but now it’s turned into a serious discussion; it has truly changed.

Central Banks are starting to play with Bitcoin, now even TradFi can't hold back, haha --- Fluctuation doubled for 3.5 points, it doesn't feel that worthwhile --- The Czech Central Bank is really daring, is it so calm about 2.5% paired with BTC? --- Backtesting looks good, but actual operations are two different things, it's not that simple --- Traditional institutions are indeed FOMOing, the crypto world has been waiting for this day --- 3.5% annualized premium for doubled fluctuation... I dare not bet --- Central Banks testing Bitcoin, will other countries follow next? --- This logic is a bit convoluted, but the words may be rough but the reasoning is sound --- Real Large Investors have finally acknowledged it, while retail investors are still catching a falling knife

The Central Bank has started to implicitly accept Bitcoin; this wave is really here. A 2.5% allocation sounds conservative, but from another perspective—this guy is telling the whole world that encryption has entered the menu of institutional decision-making. --- A doubling of volatility for a 3.5 percentage point change, whether this trade is worthwhile depends entirely on one's boldness. But the fact that the Central Bank dares to bring this up, what does it indicate? --- TradFi ultimately has to bow its head, just like that. --- Interestingly, when it comes to real large allocations, will Bitcoin still have the current wave of returns? But at least the direction is right. --- With the Central Bank seriously considering this, what more is there to say? The trend is set.
