> Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar suggest that crypto assets have low/negative correlation with traditional asset classes

The DJIA and Bitcoin charts seem well correlated, at least over the past month: DJIA: https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/djia Bitcoin:https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg30ztgCzm1g10z...

In my opinion people treat it as they would any speculative asset.

Huh? You can’t cherry pick your data and claim something is “well correlated”. Well researched data shows bitcoin has no correlation to any exising asset class which is why it’s a great risk reducer to add to a portfolio.
Your retort would be more convincing if you linked to some sources.
