Crypto Still Sees Massive Returns On Par With Stocks

Contrary to widespread narratives that crypto has been left behind by the stock market, this episode reveals that top cryptocurrencies have delivered returns on par with, and in some cases surpassing, even the hottest equities. Over the past year, Zcash and VVV (Venice) returned 900% and 500% respectively, while VVV surged 10x year-to-date—outperforming giants like Sandisk and Intel. Despite $4 billion in Bitcoin ETF outflows over 13 days, cumulative net flows remain strong, suggesting long-term investor confidence. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s claim of a 'thousand-fold' quantum computing leap with its Majorana 2 chip is met with skepticism from experts, who argue the data isn’t reproducible and the real-world implications are overstated. The real threat to crypto may not be quantum computing itself, but how the public interprets headlines—especially when major players fail to communicate a clear, proactive plan for quantum resistance. The episode concludes that crypto is no longer just a speculative playground; it’s entering a new era where cash flow, credibility, and clear messaging matter more than ever.
