On November 22, 2022, Cathie Wood said on Bloomberg TV
that Bitcoin would trade for $1 million each by 2039. That would make
Bitcoin worth $19.1 trillion. That's more than Apple, Google,
Tesla and Meta combined. In fact, its more than the the entire NASDQ
100 combined at $16.9 trillion.

This type of behavior by a public person such as Cathie Wood causes
people to invest their savings in an investment bubble that exceeds
any investment bubble ever achieved. To say the least, it is
irresponsible. Bitcoin has no earnings and no book value. It does not
pay a dividend and does not even have a business plan that projects
any revenues. It is, in a word, worthless. 

As the public spokesperson for ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, Cathie Wood
has demonstrated she will act irresponsibly.
