This is the most philosophical explanation Iāve gotten so far yet itās somehow the one that makes the most sense. Well done.
Is it not just blind faith in the future that something might come of Bitcoin that is the reason for investing. With blind faith being gambling essentially. It may pay off, absolutely, but there does seem to be an extreme element of faith and YOLOāing at play here.

NIO Day!!! The upcoming NIO Day will definitely bring some new technology and announcements.
NIO had recently sold some shares to raise more Cash on hand. This is a great thing as it gives them the ability to expand even further. It also means they wonāt borrow money and have to pay high interest rates.

quite interesting reading that has got my attention, could you post the source please?
Of all the points?
Enjoy 
NIO day Saturday letās hear whatās in store for us all
To be honest, Iām including it in my pie with 25% percent since beginning of 2020 and it seems to be working soo good 
And yet, not a single rocket emoji.
All them are refuelling atm lol
Youāve sparked a whole debate here about whatās worth investing in - which really goes to show that ultimately youāll need to make your own decision.
I bought Nio speculatively for about $3 if I recall correctly. I then read a convincing article in Marketwatch that said itās peaked at $20 and due a big drop so I cashed in. 
So, even the so-called experts are all basically guessing when it comes to such a stock. As someone else has stated here, Nio is speculative thus high risk, high reward.
Iāve made a few such purchases and sales over the years and although ultimately in profit, I personally donāt own any individual stocks now - itās all ETFs for me. Now I donāt need to try and time the market or rely on trends - I just buy and hold.
You mention somewhere about passive income from dividends. You wonāt get this from Nio - ever. However, perhaps you could build a portfolio - depending on your risk tolerance - with 25-50% speculative stocks such as Nio, Plug Power, some green tech etc. and then put the rest into a high yield dividend ETF - GGRG, for example? This could potentially create a nice balance for you, thus avoiding massive drawdowns, as well as providing income from divs.
Looks like NIO and TESLA are the top performers in this pie I was thinking of being greedy and increasing their percentage but that would be VERY RISKY to be honest 
Will stick to the current percentages for now 
Pre market NIO up 11%. Looks like people liked what they saw on NIO day
William Liās interview on Bloomberg was very informative. Here are some of the points he made:
Shut up and take my money, NIO!
With biden coming in I see NIO as having great prospects. Biden is very friendly with China and Chinese companies (esp green energy) will be massive in 2021. Globalization is back with biden. Please not this is not political . Itās fact.
I think watching and analysing it seems like a good opportunity to Invest. It is in the begining and it has a good line of growing! Different from Tesla as i can say is overvalued right now and seems a bit risky to invest on that.
Guess my āguessingā wasnāt far off
