I sat through the dump in 2018-2019. Saw Ethereum go from $1,350 down to $80. Yes I could have sold and bought more at the dump - I just did not have a clue which way things were heading just like everyone else. But I am still here and have a very decent portfolio.When and if I grant, this stuff turns, you aren't going to be worried about the tax bill.
Yes that is a huge development. That Binance CEO is a smart mofo. Vitalik though has him beat I think in the retard autistic genius department.Binance token.. the idea of tokenized stock trading 24/7 365 is quite possibly 1 of the most "must have" use cases.
High disruption idea.
I’d love to know the next big crypto that’s hits next..

I put a bit into Safemoon. Mostly because everything I read about in on the Google was to stay away and it will never hit. Just like when I bought into DOGE back in January and now I have a solid 6 figure return lol.I’d love to know the next big crypto that’s hits next..

So who's following this thread or Doge but has yet to invest in Crytpo? What are your hesitations? One of my best friends is not into crypto so I gifted him 100 bucks and set up his account and showed him the basics. I told him he didn't have to do anything but I suggest he put in 900 and forget about it. You can lead a horse to water but you can not make them drink. I'd suggest the same for anyone and where as there are many things you could do, not doing anything is the worst. Plenty of killer people to follow on Youtube if you're interested in learning more. If anything, throw a grand into ETH and forget about it. I HIGHLY doubt, you will lose your money. If anyone has any info for someone on the edge...chime in.
The guy who just sold everything and borrowed a good bit to put 180K into Doge Coin became a millionaire in less than 70 days. I don't think age, time or even amount makes anyone a fool in crypto. It's nearly no less a gamble than the US Dollar and as the US Dollar keeps plummeting Crypto is said to get healthier. Just how OLD you really think you are? Giving up the ghost tomorrow? You could make 1000 between now and then. I just paid $2300 for two amplifiers for my Truck and I never dipped into anything other than profits and barely into that. I started with 50 bucks here...50 bucks there. Watched...moved money around, watched videos....listened to some of these guys....moved money around again....and again. My money grew, like most here. We all wish we could put a grand into Bitcoin 8 years ago...think you will live 8 more years? Well?It is all about where you are in life and risk management. There is nothing backing the value of crypto other than that there are people willing, right now, to exchange money for it. The Fed has pumped trillions of liquidity into the system. Other countries have pumped trillions.
The point being that no one knows when or who will finally lose confidence and stop buying debt bonds. But when that happens, the value of that countries currency will crater and most likely domino through the system. What is the value of crypto, backed by nothing, worth then?
That said, if I was 30 years younger, I would be riding this crypto pony and trying like hell to find an early warning sign to punch out with my winnings intact. The flip side being that anyone older with more than 2 or 3% of portfolio in crypto is a fool.

I think that, by now, anyone that hasn't at least experimented with trading Crypto either lives under a rock or is convinced it is a fad that will go back to zero at any moment taking all their hard earned pennies with it.
There is another group of people that use Crypto to make a quick buck off the volatility of the moves but they don't know or care much about the long term potential. The majority of my friends fall into this group.
The big boys don't want a huge capital gains tax bill. I expect them to cash out some but not all of it.
I would not get out 100%. I personally plan to only cash out about 10-15% if that. Otherwise you have a large tax bill waiting. You can also either stake your cryptos as is the case with Cardano and Ethereum or park your cash in a stablecoin and earn interest off it. Blockfi offers decent APRs and so do others.

If you have $1 million in a stablecoin earning interest you could live off the interest alone if your lifestyle is not too wild. Of course if the cost of living goes up that changes.
That's why I am thinking it would be better to stake a crypto or hold BTC and earn interest off your holdings. That way if the dollar loses more value against the digital token you don't lose out in the process as you collect interest payments because your digital token balance remains the same.
Spoken like a true young guy which is fine. When you are older and have exactly ONE nest egg and no way to replace it, you look at an investment, BITCOIN and the like, with a jaundiced eye. Many savvy investors think crypto currency is a Ponzi scheme and Ponzi schemes are great until they aren't.
As for where I am, I'm 59 and retired, thanks to some savvy investing when I was younger and a family business that the family hasn't killed yet. I plan to stay retired by managing my money with just enough risk, but not to much.
Guys who have time to earn another nest egg SHOULD have a different risk outlook than someone who can't earn another nest egg. A lot of older guys were in the market back in 2007-8 100% risk on that lost everything. They didn't get to retire, they got to keep on working, horrible place to be having to work.
You're not that much older than me....and you still have plenty of time to throw pocket change at Crypto. No one is saying throw your life saving into it. I have 48% of my money in Vanguard from the Navy, 48% into Fidelity through Bosch and 4% in Crypto...roughly. Crypto started off as a hobby, only money I could afford to lose. Then it got to a point where it's actually money and it might sting if I lost it all. But the return has been great and I regret not getting into it sooner. Now I throw 25 a week into Eth direct deposit and whatever I care to throw at it when I care to throw at it. Bought another $300 Dodge yesterday for example. I think you are looking at it as if it is some HUGE decision. Open up a Coinbase account and put 100 bucks in and watch it. Add more if you desire. As I said...throw $1000 and forget about it, even if it takes you a year to do it. Coinbase isn't the best but I feel its one of the easiest and if your not moving it around buying and selling constantly just as good as any of the rest. Have kids? Grandkids? Open up an account for them with 100 bucks and forget about it. Imagine what it COULD BE when they turn 18. You want to do it, or you wouldn't be in this thread....do it...$50 bucks into ETH.
