The reason I have so much in Bitcoin/Solana is because they went up so much. Yes, lets sell the winners and go cash. The same cash they print more to service their debt.
How can DCUM crowd still be so clueless. I know bunch of educated people who are still on sidelines, but they were born with narrow mind.


Trump/Crypto/Bankruptcy

You are a fool.

Signed a very wealthy person. Yes I wrote that on social media.

You have not done your homework.

So, maybe it's a good idea.


Actually it was Biden who devalued the US dollar by printing trillions for his spending escapades. Rampant inflation was the result.

Dump phase coming in a few months.


Agree. Don’t understand how crypto is valued. There’s nothing underlying its value.

When quantum computing is able to break current encryption levels, one of two things will happen: (1) we quickly develop quantum-resistant encryption or (2) all modern digital/internet infrastructure (communications, banking, etc.) comes to a grinding halt.

If #1 happens, bitcoin will be fine.

If #2 happens, we are all screwed and bitcoin will be the least of anyone's worries.

This.

Don't listen to him, but do buy some crypto. It will continue to go up for a long time. If your god doesn't allow it, fine, but no other reason to stay out if you want to make money.
Didn't even know he was alive. Suze can go away too and take Ramsey with her.

Or people wake up and figure out it’s the biggest Ponzi scheme ever. It’s a huge man-made math problem, the solutions to which a group of people decided have some value, even though there is no connection to the physical world, nor sponsored by a government. I would never “invest” a dime in it.

Plenty of smart money invested in CDOs and were left holding the bag.


Were they? Or were they bailed out at taxpayer expense?

I'm not a fan of Ric Edelman. He did have a successful radio show and asset management firm that he sold. And now he is invested in crypto and works in that industry. So he is bullish on crypto.

I have a $4.6 mil portfolio with little crypto exposure in ETFs. I'm looking to increase that exposure. Institutions are becoming more active in the crypto space and it appears that crypto is gaining credibility. It is another asset class that one needs to be aware of. Having a 5-10% stake in crypto doesn't seem out of order.

Rick Edelman is a clown. Fifteen years ago he said that mutual funds were dinosaurs and that they would be gone in ten years. He has also stated that vanguard was hiding fees of 1.4% per year. He's just over the top when it comes to promoting himself and his firm. I'm about as interested in crypto as I am his "financial engines."

It is a $2.3 trillion asset that is heavily invested in by asset managers such as BlackRock. This is a serious asset. We continue to dollar-cost average, as there is significant wind in the sails.


You are confusing valuation with value.


And yet you invest in stocks at current valuations!
