Anyone into bitcoin?

[DaveC]

Well , it's bumping into 40K again today , but part of your issue was volatility , which has upsides . If you want to start the clock again today I'm fine ....................... edit: Monday the 11th BTC was down to $30.5..................

Was just kidding. We'll stick with the 12th...

I thought it would hit a nickle but there must be a lot of loyal followers. I traded mine for btc when the SEC news came out. Not buying back.

Been about 4 months since we started watching this , as of today BTC is $59,500 , Ether is $4047 and XRP is $ 1.60 ............................. The Crypto category has made some pretty strong upside moves since January . I believe the S&P was 4232 on Friday , Dave can you update that # more accurately with Mondays market .........

Just missed a big dip (buying opportunity) too.

I do real estate and real estate investment so I don’t mind being aggressive and taking risks. I owned one with the help of a friend years ago. Doubled our money and sold. Too volatile and scared me to death.

Quoting myself lol....beware of long post. As utility got more mainstream I started buying dips. Got back into Bit in the 40s and Eth about a month ago when it briefly went under 2000. Holding onto those while playing the volatility game in smaller amounts of Doge, Ada, CKB, BTT, and Litecoin...usually around $1000 at a time. I will never have the balls to get rich off of my crypto investments, but as a 39 year old father of two with good luck in the stock market from a young age, I see a future betting there and also betting against inflation with crypto. I am a high school history and economics teacher for 16 years, but now make more in real estate and real estate investment. For reference I own three properties (primary residence-was a flip, townhouse-paid off and rented, and a multi family-rented and profitable.) Being in real estate those are my main investments and it will stay that way for the next two decades and I live off only my teaching salary. Real estate commissions from sales go to all of my investments (and taxes). Of that, 25% goes to stocks, 25% to crypto, 25% gets reinvested into real estate, and 25% I hold in cash for taxes and a rainy day. I do my best to satisfy both sides of me...like the Stinger, a practical daily driver lift back that can also excite me with horsepower.

Hey. No kicking.

 

[Aarvix]

The way I see it, BTC is on sale right now.

 

[DaveC]

To each, their own.

I was not being snarky I was reporting the crypto position and asking for your input . I still stand by my original position and Crypto is volatile , its not for everyone ......................lets see where we end up at the end of the year !! ................and BTC is 37.5K . Eth is 2.72 K and XRP 1.2

 

[westcoastGT]

The way I see it, BTC is on sale right now.

Yup , those that picked it up at 30K early this morning will be happy . Not a game for the weak at heart for sure !

 

[DaveC]

Yup, I'm too old for the volatility. Let's just leave it be until the one year mark. That was the original wager.

 

[westcoastGT]

Hey. No kicking.

those anger management classes aren't working ........................

Much of the market, to include big tech stocks and cryptocurrency, has been on sale lately. This market makes no sense. Many stocks were providing better returns while everything was shutdown compared to now when most things are open and these companies are reporting record earnings.

Anyone buying BTC, ETH, Maker, etc. today is getting easy money later.
