I wouldn't touch crypto, personally.
Sure you might get lucky, but you might also get lucky playing blackjack or roulette - it's not the kind of thing you want to be risking your retirement fund on.
If you have huge and stable portfolio already, then fine, have a flutter with 5% of your pot, otherwise it's just pure insanity.

I didn't think this deserved it's own thread but congratulations Nvidia, the first ever $4tn company
Who would have thought back in 2001 when the Geforce 2 MX came out that the company behind it would go on then become the most valuable company in the world.

You don’t really need to get lucky with bitcoin, it’s very obvious the price will just keep going up and up (with major volatility). I’m approaching 1 million USD in Bitcoin, held since 2021.
That's a sell signal if ever I've seen one.

It be crszy to buy Nvidia at those levels, no advantage whatsoever.
Much better things out there like LAC has a much better entry, for risk reward.
Why do you say that? Just look at a chart, it’s the same with sp500 and Nasdaq except Bitcoin goes up faster. Bitcoin just hit a new all time high.

Because S&p500 is highly diversify and a far lower risk. If you have built up $1M, then putting it into an S&P500 ETF should average a 10% return long term. Your investment would still balloon, and your risks are far lower,
That's no fun tho, just yolo it all in to BTC, what could go wrong?
I have 960K usd in stocks, a lot of that is in MSTR though lol.
Fascinating to watch the FTSE over the past few days. It’s very close to breaking through 9000 and my pensions have recovered all the loss of earlier in the year and then some. I can remember a couple of years ago speculating on it breaking 8000 and I have a feeling 9000 will be before the end of the year.

I also fear the big drop is coming.
I sold some just before April (about 1/3 of a lot of stocks I was heavy in - NWG etc). However, things went back up! (missed a chance to get a nice 30% - I dont have the kahunas). Anyhow, still thinking the actual drop is coming
Happy with my dip buys so far this year, although I'm still 60% cash at the moment. I don't think we've seen the last of the market manipulation from Trump.
CMPS and AMD are my highlights, will be hanging onto them.
Now my finances are a bit more stable I’m just waiting for the next big Trump downturn to move back into more equities.

Stocks have dropped today so i will likely throw an extra couple of k in today, but will wait to see if the NYSE opening will create another pull back
Of course, it's trumps 'spin the tariff wheel' Friday!
Normal service will be resumed Monday or Tuesday.
