Its view as a hedge and its performance as a hedge are two different things.

i don't pretend to know what exactly it is yet, all i know is i'm treating crypto a bit like a lottery at this point

too many dependencies and too easy to control on/off ramps to be a true hedge, at least for my taste

4. Inflation hedge?

It's certainly demonstrated its ability to do this, but at $65K/btc, only the wealthiest investors are able to make that play to a meaningful extent, I'd think...

My guess is that Eth-derivative alt-coins could also serve as an inflation hedge, but they're just so volatile. An ETF would probably serve as the better hedge.

Obvi BTC has dropped dramatically from $65K but still...

It hasnt been around for long, but as far as I can tell crypto is roughly correlated with the stock market. It's not a hedge.
