He is also in Barron&#8217;s Financial Advisor Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Crypto is meant to be a long-term hold, just like the stock market,&#8221; said Edelman. &#8220;It&#8217;s meant to diversify the portfolio.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His thoughts came as a <span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"SpecialReportArticle-QuoteInBody-5\">bitcoin<span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"><\/span><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span> rally got underway. The cryptocurrency crossed $100,000 on Thursday for the first time since February. As of Friday&#8217;s close on Wall Street, bitcoin gained 6% this week. It is now up almost 10% so far this month.<\/p>\n<p>However, Edelman sees problems when it comes to leverage and inverse bitcoin ETFs. He warned that not all crypto ETFs are appropriate for retail investors, suggesting most don&#8217;t understand how they work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ArticleBody-subtitle\"><a id=\"headline0\"><\/a>&#8216;Same thing as buying a lottery ticket&#8217;<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>&#8220;These leveraged ETFs often have an assumption you&#8217;re going to hold the fund for a single day, a daily reset,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s literally the same thing as buying a lottery ticket. This isn&#8217;t investing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the same interview,\u00a0&#8220;ETF Edge&#8221; host Bob Pisani referenced 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITX) as an example of a leveraged bitcoin product that includes daily fees and resets.<\/p>\n<p>The fund is beating bitcoin this week, jumping more than 12%. So far this month, the ETF is up 19%. But the BITX is underperforming bitcoin this year.
