It is not my paper, but from three other professors.

As far as I understand, it is not only about returns, but also about low correlation with other assets.

And if you believe that btc will go to zero, you should be short, not hold zero.

FX hedging sounds mysterious & intimidating/ super simple depending on your knowledge.

Its pretty basic maths informs massive capital allocations.
