Never invest more than you are willing to lose.

If you ain't willing to pull that money out in cash and light it on fire right then and there then you shouldn't invest it


Great advice.


No that's terrible advice. You should always be investing your money. Just not into Ponzi schemes like crypto.


He didnt say that you shouldnt invest at all. Read his post again.


He said if you aren't willing to pull the money out and set it on fire, you shouldn't invest. That's absolute bullshit. If you aren't investing in retirement and your other savings, you are missing out on a lot if gains.

Investing shouldn't be seen as some crazy gamble you do on the side. There are tons of options for you with various degrees of risk, and you absolutely should be investing most of your savings.

Bitcoin has no value as a currency because of how volatile it is. People aren't buying it to use as currency.

Also, bitcoin are shit on because they have no idea what they're talking about. The borrow a bunch of investing terms from the stock market which don't apply to crypto at all. Stocks and crypto aren't the same thing. Stocks are ownership of a company that has real actual value.

Cyrpto is a currency that barely anyone ever uses. It's not comparable to gold or currency of countries because it's not backed by something the world readily accepts. There's absolutely no reason to own it except expecting to ride the wave. People peddling it are telling people to gamble their money away.

Watch some UFC


I just watch some of the championships from time to time. Still not super invested.

Where you from?

Also definitely play the games. Will help teach you the rules.


I'm from Boston and raised in Atlanta. But I have more of a fondness for Houston teams in general because that's where I went to all my first live games (baseball, basketball, and soccer). I know all the main rules and how the games play.

I really think it's just because I don't have any team that I love. It seems like people who are into sports the most are really invested into one team.

I'm going to laugh when all of you grind boys are left bag holding stocks while the affluent protect all their money by investing in cryptos.


How will crypto protect their money?

Crypto is an international asset, lives in its own little world that is not affected by domestic markets and such. Some financial experts theorize that rich people could take their money out of stocks and invest into cryptos to evade a crash in the stock market.

In the past people would invest in gold to mitigate losses, but this is the age of Bitcoin


Logic seems off considering how volatile crypto is. If people want to protect their money and still get gains, they can do bonds from trusted sources. Much safer bet to protect their money.
