Could you please elaborate on the feasibility of investing Bitcoin in a 401(k) account? I've been hearing rumors that some employers might allow such a move, but I'm unsure if it's actually possible or advisable. Given the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies, how would the performance of Bitcoin be tracked and taxed within a traditional retirement savings vehicle? Would it be subject to the same regulations as other investments, or would there be special considerations due to its digital and decentralized nature? Thank you for clarifying this topic and helping me understand the potential implications of such an investment strategy.
