So if you're going to invest money, one of the best risk-reward ratios is, without question, in digital assets as a stand-alone asset class. Secondly, you get something new with digital assets that you didn't have before, and that's transpar

Billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones says bitcoin isn’t just a speculative asset — it’s a necessity in the current economic environment.

That means higher prices, lower purchasing power and greater risk for traditional portfolios, Jones continued. To
