I didn't criticize him at all, let alone sharply. He's obviously done well for himself. I was just pointing out that the vast majority of his BTC gains happened years ago, and over a few longer time periods, even boring old index funds have performed similarly. Now that may change, and BTC may go to the stratosphere, and then he'll be proven right by continuing to hold.

If you please, name 3 stocks you currently own.

Most of my holdings are just S&P and NASDAQ ETFs with some non-US stuff for diversification. In term of individual companies, my top 3 holdings are:
Microsoft (bought after that idiot Ballmer left and have added over time)
Costco
Apple
I'm a little more skeptical about Apple recently though, so I might pare that down. And I've also had some losers in there, particularly Canadian companies.
