Everyone is rushing to buy bitcoin at all time highs

an entire unique asset class that is worth one Tesla. seems low, no?

You're comparing a speculative mania in fictional crime-bucks to a speculative mania in a car company worth more than Facebook while simultaneously selling just 4% as many cars as Toyota. Tesla's price to earnings ratio is 1500 meaning it would take until the year 3521 for it to earn back its market cap.

The fact you're even making this assessment tells me this isn't going to end well for anyone.

Heed my warning: The bubble pops when the last bear dies.

As the money printing goes, assets will inflate and inflation will catch up, and it will be somewhat balanced....

US is also creating dollars at all time highs. As money supply increases, asset prices inflate

No. This is incorrect, and a misunderstanding of economics.

CPI, price inflation, is tracking at 2% as expected. Housing is actually down.

Stocks are up because some people have a bunch of extra cash and nothing to do during the day. These two are not connected.

It's interesting how regular people rush to buy cryptocurrencies when the valuation is at all-time-high. Then, in a month everybody will freak out that they can't buy a Lambo yet, even worse, they lost around 50% (based on past peaks).

Of course, I can't predict the future, so maybe it's the first time a peak will never end? :)

I'd love a citation on that if you have one, I have seen no evidence the two are connected. The money was printed to counter deflationary pressure. This succeeded, and the rate of inflation is tracking at 2% per expectations.
