We’re seeing all sorts of record-high prices on what I’d consider speculative assets such as Bitcoin and NFTs (non-fungible tokens) along with high-flying growth stocks.

Thanks for the mention! I’ve also kept the Platinum card and took advantage of the $200 grocery credit (no-brainer), and totally forgot about the $200 annual travel credit but I’m sure I’ll use it later in the year. The card also keeps me in silver elite status with Bonvoy.
