A lot of people love to pile on Bourdain, and I don't get it. He was a talented writer, a successful chef, and found himself with a series of incredible opportunities in the media industry (and he took them, as anyone else would). His wife treated him like a dog, cheated on him, and he went nuts and offed himself -- a story one can find in all strata of society. Rich and poor, liberal and conservative, working class and white collar, this is a thing that happens to all sorts of people and it's tragic in every case. I think Bourdain's haters want there to have been some kind of "catch" or "gotchya" to his lifestyle. The man lived an illustrious life in a manner that would've been readily legible to history's Great Men. He had the 'je na sais quois' of old-world explorers, he was a Manhattan guy, a dynamic man literally getting paid to travel the world. This is obviously jealousy-inducing, and the goblin-tier slouches of the world love to see an interesting man falter, suffer, and meet his demise -- as a kind of punishment for living well. They crave the punishment of the interesting man because it validates the mediocrity of their own lives. And so Bourdain's suicide was kind of a Colosseum event for a lot of the world's saddest, most pedestrian men. A lurid way to watch the guy they were jealous of get his 'comeuppance'. Very telling to see people pile on Bourdain IMO.

This positive divergence by BTC should be jumping off the screen of any money manager with a pulse. Potentially historic. Let's see how it plays out. Gold has been shouting from the rooftop to be long BTC once BTC starts to diverge from risk. Continuing to watch a reclaim of 100k as opening the door to a new period of huge outperformance by BTC over gold and other assets.
