All it says is that they had it, not how they got it.

Like "the clap" county health departments must hear that a lot before they administer the shot. They didn't get it from a toilet seat.

The six month Bitcoin chart resembles a “head-and-shoulders” pattern. For technical analysts, this would very clearly indicate a breakout to the upside.

Since I can find no correlation between equity trading vs. crypto, I won’t hold my breath.......

I got a chuckle a few days ago heard this. A boy asks his dad for $10.00 in bitcoin
dad: $11.89 what do you need $8.37 for. Some here won't get it.

Just to be clear, I'm not bashing BTC. Just trying to provide a point of view written by someone who is far more articulate than myself....

I’m steering clear. I don’t want to get flucted.

Plenty to bash about btc, and the linked points are good ones. I would not throw crypto into a retirement fund at all, way way way too volatile. It should not be seen as a deep investment, but a short term high risk avenue like tech stocks. It will stabilize somewhere, but where and how long is anyone's guess.

It is not as scary and terrible as it seems at first glance. However, it's a pretty volatile domain, so it's important to know which risks are worth it and which are not. When I first started, I used https://www.doughroller.net/investing/best-social-trading-platforms/ to learn as much as I could, and after two years I can say it has been my salvation. Now my main income is investing, and even if I don't always turn out to be right, I have learned to see and predict with 88% accuracy, which is very important.

Looks like BTC is about ready to break its all time high. Not sure how long it will last. Right now, my investment has more than quadrupled in value. Current value is at $63,300.
