That wast the latest headline coming out of CNBC yesterday.
It is not referring to me as I bought my first bitcoin a little while back, however, it is referring to one of my favorite financial analysts.
I referred to another one of my favorites a little while back, Tom Lee, and his prediction about Bitcoin possibly getting to $55k by 2022.
It can be seen here:
However, the latest crypto convert comes from truly my all time favorite:
Josh Brown.
Josh Brown is a regular contributor to the Halftime Report on CNBC. A must watch show for all you stock traders out there. He runs a financial blog and does very well primarily trading and investing in US stocks. To top it all off, he is as funny as he is skilled, which is saying something because he is quite skilled.
Back to the important stuff...
Josh Brown announced via twitter that he had purchased his first Bitcoin yesterday.
It can be seen here:
Again, just like the Tom Lee announcement a few weeks back, it signals that major wall street players are not only starting to pay attention and take Bitcoin seriously, but they are starting to buy in.
Which is exactly what you want to see from an adoption standpoint.
Heil Josh Brown!
After Josh Brown's twitter announcement of his Bitcoin buy started to go viral across social media, and his rational for buying it was published along with it, this picture was attached...
A perfect example of his sense of humor. To be honest, he does kind of look like Hitler there...
Why did he buy Bitcoin?
According to Josh:
"I think at this stage in the game, it’s important to be open-minded and not afraid to lose money or look foolish. I’ve invested into way dumber things in my life. And as far as what the future holds – if the disruption hippies turn out to be right, and the 21 million BTC that will eventually be the limit are out there in public hands, it’s hard to imagine them not appreciating in price. Especially if they become more institutionalized and embedded into enterprise scale transactions – which is what the banking industry seems to be leaning toward from what I read and hear. I like the idea of scarcity and owning something that is finite by design."
He has bought into "way dumber things in his life..." and "the disruption hippies..." haha thanks Josh.
More of his rational behind his purchase of Bitcoin can be read here:
Check it out, it's a great and entertaining read.
In summation:
Josh feels exactly how I feel ever since I bought into crypto.
Before I bought into Crypto and after:
Like a boss.
"The Dude abides"

Ha, my accountant still thinks that Bitcoin is a physical asset. Photos like that guy holding up a physical " Bitcoin" just confuse people.

I think it's cool that they made such a big deal out of this guy buying a bitcoin. Also it's cool that they actually gave him one of they physical models of the bitcoin, not everybody gets those when they buy bitcoins. Not sure they're worth anything in dollars, but still a cool keep sake item to have in addition to your cryptocurrency. Interesting post!

Of course they had to. Goldman Sachs initially criticized Bitcoin trying to demean it. They always referred to it as Blockchain technology. But now as BTC did break the shackles everyone wants to embrace it. Which is good as you said it's better late than never. Bloomberg now keeps on monitoring BTC on their channels. Positive signs for all of us. Just HOLD.

Unbelievable, he says: "think at this stage in the game, it’s important to be open-minded and not afraid to lose money or look foolish. I’ve invested into way dumber things in my life".
I think the opposite. I think that you have to be open-minded all the time. I was open-minded in January and look where whe are at this point! He says that that buying bitcoin is a dumb decision. Well, I like to hear back from him a year from now..
Nice post btw

@jrcornel - Coming after the bloodbath last couple of weeks, this is BIG news indeed. Josh Brown, THE analyst when it comes to Stock analysis at CNBC becoming a Bitcoin convert, clearly shows that Bitcoin uptrend is catching on Thanks for this update. Made my day. Upvoted.
Update at my end is that I am doing a 'Photospeak' series with my memories from Africa - with just a photo with minimal words - Letting the picture speak for itself mostly. I would be honored if you can take a look at latest one (#3 with Ostrich crossing ) when you have time and provide your valuable comments. Thanks

Well Josh Brown usually has to disclose anything he talks about on CNBC, IE when he bought and sold. However, that wouldn't stop him from getting a buddy of his to buy it for him in some other accounts...

Why did he buy Bitcoin?
Why does anyone buy Bitcoin? Either you know something or you are following the leader. Are you following a trend (or are you laying down tracks)? People build roads for others to follow. You just have to decide if you want to lead or follow!

Crypto market works on hype not fundamentals. People are just follows those hype whole heartedly and then cry in the end . People should be more careful while investing in the bitcoins. Last I checked after John macafee statement, the price of bitcoin rose high. As I think, in this case same happened. @jrcornel

My perception about bitcoin is that, even if in the current scenario it is trading in the upper range, but its potential is far beyond expectation. Because i have persoanlly used bitcoin in 2014 for first time at that time it was somewhere around 210-250 usd per BTC, but in last 3 years i have seen more then 1000% appreciation , and i dont think the whole world has strted using bitcoin yet, and it has not gone viral by that extent, so even with the limited user if it can reach 1000% of the value as compared to what it was back in 2014, then sure it will have exponential growth by 2022, because when everybody including the central banker start recognizing it, then the exponential global power comes into play which may sky rocket bitcoin not only to 55k but also much beyond that, i urge every steemian to keep harvesting bitcoin and steem as well....Thanks for the hosting this post.
