Sure sure, but you're talkin about Ethereum possibly doing a 3x over the next 3 years? This is just the beginning for ChainLink...Imagine buying Ethereum today for $23. 4th Industrial Revolution begins with ChainLink...Hodl hodl.

Waiting for one random non finance person to tell me they "got into Bitcoin recently" and I'm selling. Last run up a dude I know from high school posted on Facebook about how the future was in bitcoin, not his 401K. That was my trigger to sell and the timing was perfect.

Saw a machine to cash in coins at a grocery store that will pay you in bitcoin if you want.

I'm adding some just for diversification purposes. And I think lot of funds are starting to as well via GBTC.

I opened an account with Kraken and will buy some DOT and maybe KSM. I might buy some LINK as well

By no means will I ever ditch my 401k for Crypto. But I might be 5% in Crypto. I don't think I will ever go more than that unless I manage to buy it right before it goes up 1000% lol

I missed out on those and I saw them on Reddit Penny stocks. :banghead:

I will definitely be buying the Coinbase IPO. It's going to be wicked overvalued, but I'm getting it.

I was buying partial shares when it was in the $8000 to $10,000 range... When it started getting over $12,000 I stopped. This stuff is pretty volatile and expensive. Not looking to lose my ass on it if it tanks.

Bought in around $4k, also mined ETH, sold when BTC was near $20k. Used it to buy my wife's wedding ring and pay for our wedding. Haven't jumped back in since.

24 part MIT course on Bitcoin and Blockchain. Information overload but much of it's interesting. And dry. Gary Gensler is the incoming SEC chairman.

Thanks for this. I am going to watch this when I get home.

Looks like it is dated 2018 though. Would any of this be considered outdated?

I haven't watched the whole thing, just bits and pieces. Each one of the 24 or an hour or so. They are actual classroom lectures. He puts stuff up on a screen sometimes so it's probably beneficial to watch and not just listen. But if you just listen you'll get a lot of info as well. What I've watched is not outdated.

I will say the recent short squeeze on GME was fun to watch. I'm far too big of a pansy to have joined in, but the weird crazy guys at WSB actually did it. Hit $73/share this morning.

I bought some 2 days ago was up over 100% today. I sold half my shares around 65 a share.

Blackberry will be next, I believe. I think they are actually legit though since they are in many hot sectors (Cybersecurity, chips, EVs, and autonomous driving).

Someone on WSB turned $53k into over $11MM thanks to GME. This is insane.

That WSB stuff is fascinating. And hilarious. Grassroots trading is here to stay.

I had 7 BTC in 2017 @ 1200. Decided to sell. Mann wish I wasn't so impulsive. My types will never make money or at least we will make it then blow it away ASAP. haha.

Isn't is clearly a pump and dump strategy? Got to think there will be regulations around this type of stuff with serious consequences.

Probably a pump and dump. Let's see what happens next.
