Crypto… Elon… And a SMASH/TRASH/STASH Update

I don't have a digital wallet (too confusing). But don't you know of any ETFs that we could buy when BTC or Ethereum take off that might make a decent profit? – Tim

If you want crypto exposure without touching a wallet, the simplest route is spot ETFs. For Bitcoin, check out IBIT (BlackRock) or FBTC (Fidelity) – both hold real Bitcoin and trade like stocks. For Ethereum, check out Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) or VanEck Ethereum Trust (ETHV).
These aren’t perfect substitutes for holding coins directly, but they’re great for traditional investors who want in on the crypto wave without the hassle.

Unfortunately the whole DOGE experience repeated what you have said about Tesla. Will the rest of Elon’s initiatives suffer the same fate – over promise and under deliver? Lots of hype around Starlink and SpaceX and xAI. – Billy

Thanks for the question, Billy. Taking nothing away from Elon and his accomplishments, he has developed a habit of overpromising and underdelivering—especially on timelines. That pattern has shown up with Tesla, DOGE, and even early Starlink projections.
That said, I think SpaceX and Starlink are incredible businesses. They're solving real problems and already have a significant lead. I’d bet they’ll continue to dominate their industries for years to come.
The Elon vs. Trump spat may generate headlines, but I doubt it materially impacts things. The government relies on SpaceX, and the energy transition won’t stop because Trump dislikes the guy leading it.

I'm interested in crypto, but my investment service only offers BTC, ETH & LTC. Where can I go and buy any crypto out there that tickles my fancy? – Terry

To access more than just BTC, ETH, and LTC, check out exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, or Crypto.com. They offer hundreds of tokens beyond the basics.
And if you're interested in early stage "pre-IPO" opportunities off exchanges, Chris Campbell has agreed to provide some info next week in Altucher Confidential.

As I age and the world changes, am I being too cynical in thinking that friends of POTUS have made serious money each time he mentions FNMA? – Don

Great question, Don. I try to stay apolitical when it comes to investing – and with FNMA, I still think it’s a buy. Trump's recent tweets about Fannie Mae stirred up speculation and volume, as they often do. I'm less focused on who may be profiting behind the scenes as long as we’re positioned to benefit too.
FNMA remains a high-risk, high-reward trade tied to housing reform, and any signal from the White House can be a catalyst. For now, I still recommend owning the stock.
