Looks like you don't know what leveraged ETFs are. If you trade them long term, you will end up making losses. They are only suitable for short term trades unlik Bitcoin that you can buy and hold for years.

Leveraged investments are always very tricky. Of course that if you look into the past 10 years, someone who would go on in making a 2x leveraged S&P500 ETF would had made a small fortune by now since the market has been bullish ever since.

Of course that it's easy to talk NOW. At the time most people wouldn't dare to make such move. You've got a small sample of posts over at Boogleheads forum of people that didn't managed the psychological pressure and ended up selling investments due to the market crash.

No one can say which investment will outperform in the long-term because people can only try to GUESS. If you think that this bullish market will continue for some time, then go ahead with a 3x leverage ETF but you should always be aware that people will only be able to give you opinions, no matter how much TA they can provide with you, that will always be just that ...
