I came here to say this. I'm in for sure.

Any expectations, or just a roll of the dice for upward potential after a few years? I am guessing this is a minimum of 5 years investment.

Ballsy taking on Credit Card industry, but maybe not as ballsy when you have PayPal Holdings doing it with you. Could be really disruptive.

Check out a company called afterpay (APT) on the ASX, for buy now pay later potential.

Btw, how does one get in on the Affirm IPO?

I sold this one way back like a moron for around $30.

Ticker is AFTPY. It's an aussie stock and supposedly the most overvalued stock in Australia. Not sure about buying it at this price.

Affirm is backed by PayPal, which is a good sign. But I kind of feel the "Buy Now, Pay Later" sector is going to crowded. Anyone else?

I haven't tracked many IPOs, but if the momentum didn't last through the day, then I suspect it will be dropping.

Just came into this thread to ask if anyone can recommend books or online classes, paid or otherwise. I don't even know dick about S&P indexes and mutual funds. I invest in what my company tells me to but I'm absolutely clueless. It's embarrassing and I would like resources that treat me like the idiot I am.

James Howells, a 35-year-old IT engineer from Newport, Wales, said he discarded the device while clearing out his home in 2013. He claims he had two identical laptop hard drives, and that he mistakenly put the one containing the cryptographic “private key” needed to access and spend his bitcoins in the trash.

After all these years, Howells is still confident he’d be able to recover the bitcoin. Though the external part of the hard drive may be damaged and rusted, he believes the glass platter inside may still be intact.

“There is a good chance the platter inside the drive is still intact,” he told CNBC. “Data recovery experts could then rebuild the drive or read the data directly from the platter.”

Howells says he had 7,500 bitcoins which, at today’s prices, would be worth more than $280 million. He says the only way to regain access to it would be through the hard drive he threw in the trash eight years ago.

Ethereum is great what do you think the forecast could be? I'm thinking about ~3,000 per in a 3 year term
