Has anyone been thinking of diversifying their Tesla position with BTC?
Here's a little experiment of holding a 50/50 portfolio of TSLA and GBTC with weekly rebalancing. Over the last 5 years the return of BTC has been better than Tesla, so to even things up I'm only going back to May 22, 2017. If you had invested $1000 in either asset back and held to present, you'd have $10,747 in TSLA or $10,265 in BTC, but if you held a balanced portfolio of both, you'd have $17,518 today.

While both assets have performed very well by themselves over a long stretch of time, it is not clear which asset will beat the other over moderate span of time (about 12 months). The correlation of weekly returns over this time period is just 0.1676. So if you're long-term outlook is about the same for both investments, a 50/50 portfolio nearly optimal.
And in case you like log scales, here you go:
