It's a reflection in that revenues are at all time highs for many companies. Shopify running at Black Friday Numbers all summer, for instance. If you're worried about your cash losing value, it seems like a better idea to peg it to the companies that create value, not some random deflationary asset like Bitcoin that isn't used for anything but speculation.

Michael Saylor invested $425 million of his company’s treasury into bitcoin and then issued $600 million in debt to buy more bitcoin.

  > Mass Mutual’s $100 million investment isn’t “speculation” Of course it is speculation - in fact it is pretty much the book definition of speculation (The purchase of an asset with the hope that it will become more valuable in the near future). There are no dividends and there is no interest and any RoI is solely derived from the asset value increasing - so if it's not speculation then what is it?
