I think the bitcoin will rise faster than the AMD stock.

That was not true for the last 12 months.
AMD stock outperformed BTC by a long shot (AMD 2$ to 14$ -> 7.5x, BTC from 4xx $ to 1200$ -> 3x).

...and looking at the bigger picture, BTC just crept above it's ATH. AMD stock is still only a fraction of it's ATH, even after a 750% run....

.....truth is, AMD been in the shithouse for years, with their lacklustre processors that nobody wants. Next week, AMD release Ryzen, which smokes it's Intel competitors and costs less, in some cases much less. Sure, much of the rise in value based upon the anticipated market reception of Ryzen is already baked in, and for this reason, an investor has got to be looking for pullbacks and/or consolidations before they make their entry, but AMD stock has now got to be seen as being in a bull market. Whilst the big moves (in % profits terms) have already registered, get a pullback to $9, and I could easily see AMD get up to around $40 in the fullness of time.

For AMD, the future is rosy. For Bitcoin, after this Winkledouche ETF, Bitcoin has fuck all going for it except the same old bag of scalability and regulatory issues, not to mention having hit it's ATH on ultra low volume. If Bitcoin even doubled in value, that would be an astounding move that would defy any rational expectations. All the value baked into the Bitcoin price right now is based upon the actions of relatively few heavily invested players in the Bitcoin sphere, in anticipation of a whole load of events that may never happen.......I think Bitcoin will get up to around $1500 in the end before the bull market pops it's clogs and the The Age Of Karhu returns, but man, is it a fucking highly risky investment right now.
