I’m not making chit up here. These people are experts in banking systems and economics. I don’t know how you can claim to understand crypto currency and not understand the growing risk it posses to the overall economy. This isn’t my opinion derived from my own conservative financial opinions. I’m just heading their warnings.

You would be wise to read up on what the experts are warning investors about. I really could care less what you all do with your own money whether it’s investing in businesses via the stock market, gambling on sports or at the casinos. That’s your own business. But now this BS Ponzi scheme that had no practical social benefit while wreaking havoc on our environment is now putting the finances of those who want no part of crypto, like me, at serious risk.

Buzz is fcking with everyone. I’m not. I’m dead serious.

live footage of wingo (whose bank account and personal information has been already been stolen and likely sold off by Elon and whose accounts could soon be emptied out to 0 if he says the wrong thing) begging and pleading when you think about trading the hyper inflationary worthless federal reserve note of a failed state for the greatest and most secure investment in human history

Bought some SCHG. Still holding onto 800 shares of Apple despite Buffet and some of the Apple execs selling. I’ve been a set and forget it guy for decades, but my antenna is up.

I made around $10,000 on both and have a free $6,000 bag of Trump Coin from the trade.

Pretty big news, though the choice of ADA leaves a bit to be desired.

What does that even mean? :lol: I’m sorry that you lost your brain too.

So when all of this crap goes belly up, I guess you expect to get a government handout with taxpayer money? If no, then your comment is meaningless. If yes, then you can suck my dick.

All you crypto bros are like Trump supporters.

I’ve studied finance and banking for decades. The danger to us is not a small sector like crypto. It is inflating our money away, which the FED has done to the tune of over 98% since 1913.

Crypto is like a better stock in that it is limited in supply (almost all are) and stocks aren’t.
But not all are created equal. BTC has a max cap at 21 million and it’s up to the high teens currently. Very low emmissions now.

If you think crypto is a ponzi, then stocks must be as well, or any investment that depends on buyers coming in and propping things up. That argument has long been dead in crypto. Too many extremely intelligent people have already put that to rest. There are plenty of scams though but that doesn’t take away from the great projects.

Check some of Andreas Antonopolous’ videos out.
No offense but your arguments against crypto are uninformed and with no substance.
I get it, you (and a few others) don’t like it. But that’s really all you have communicated.
I’ve been in BTC and Crypto since early 2013 and have heard and seen it all.
Crypto isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Regarding your argument against crypto (mostly BTC really) because of the environment. That was an early argument but has been fully debunked in the last 2 years or so. With so many Countries going green, storing energy is a difficult task,… enter BTC mining.

https://cryptonews.com/exclusives/how-bitcoin-btc-solves-the-climate-problem/

Plenty more out there.

In the end we won’t have money, or crypto. I’ll give you that. :wink:

Some Antonopolous for you.

I second VOO

You can also do VTI which is a global fund (adds some international exposure/non-US stocks)

I'm a big fan of Vanguard funds.

VUG and MGK are large cap growth funds.

There's also QQQM which has a lower expense ratio than QQQ. These would track the Nasdaq-100. It's a more risky than the SP500 but more reward too.

Making a shipcoin reserve does not excite me. We have a gold reserve because it's the most established store of value in history. I could see a bitcoin reserve as it has the same properties as gold but is digital. All the others have no real proposition value, have large pre-sales with proof of stake mechanisms and while one or two of them might end up long-term reserve assets, they are that now.

It makes the whole space more muddled with the next crypto scam right around the corner.

I made a mistake in my previous post. I meant to say ticker VT not VTI

VTI is similar to VOO.

VT is the "Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund ETF Shares"

Most investors now who are in something like VT over VTI are probably happy now since the recent tariffs imposed are killing the US markets but helping Asian and European stocks.

I'm not in VT, but I've been buying Chinese stocks last few months. I wish I bought European stocks too.

I have had both VT and VTI for a long time. You don’t have to choose
