It’s really astonishing what he is saying, maybe he is using “new” math.

I don't doubt this. The thing is, we can't really call the crypto-craze a bubble because no one knows what it's inflated with. As I previously posted, nobody can say what metrics are used to predict future performance. Pure speculation IMHO.

Depends how you do it. I just bought the cyrpto and leave it there. I will look at it occasionally but I am looking at it as a long term thing, not a day trade thing.

Speculative investments can turn on a dime. Something unexpected could drop out out of the clear blue sky and spoil your day. Invest only what you can afford to lose:

The scope of the Binance investigation isn’t known. But the market is interpreting it as the “start of a long-feared crackdown on the crypto space by the U.S. government,” according to BTIG analyst Mark Palmer.

Or perhaps, to put it in a more relative term, "Doge-ed a bullet".

DOGE up 30% today! That one has been one of my biggest winners % wise. Bought a very small amount as I’m teaching my teenage son how the market works.

If it does, then bitcoin will become the neutron star of the entire world financial system, drawing in every last dime of legitimate money before flaming out in a super nova. So as a goal for humanity, it's comparable to colonizing Mars:if you get there, your spectacular achievement will be rewarded by life in an airless desert, bombarded by space debris and cosmic rays, and finally dying alone in a cosmic dead end. But that's just my humble opinion.
Good read. I've had mixed feelings about it from the git-go.

And I see eye to eye with you on being one of the brave explorers to manage to finagle a life sentence on Mars, not an appealing piece of real estate. The glory of being on the cutting edge of exploring other even more inhospitable and lifeless planets or large rocks drifting in space doesn't appeal to me.

Hmmm. My $2,375 in BTC is worth $10788. Thats a 350% increase in a bit over 2 yrs.

My $342 in ETH is now worth $752 and that is only in 3 months.

My $600 in DOGE is now worth $1290 and that is 4 months.....

so being up $9500 .... how is it that I am a sucker?

BTW, I did show you when BTC was only worth .0008 so are we good with that?
