Coinbase & Binance are 2 of the most used crypto exchanges.
Some won't allow you to open an account if you live in certain states.
Opening an account in either one is a multi step verification process. If you don't already own any crypto that you can transfer you will have to go through a lengthy wait period to be able to fund the account with USD (fiat verification).
This could potentially take up to three weeks. I'm currently on day # 10. Very frustrating to say the least.
Hmm...not on Coinbase. A couple of people I know just started new accounts and they had no issue linking a bank account and buying immediately. I didn't have any issues when I started either. I switched pretty quickly to CB Pro for the lower fees. You can buy immediately after a transfer of USD but can't trade that buy until the transfer fully clears. I'm not sure and wondering why you are so delayed.

Gonna day trade crypto to scratch my itch. Made 33% yesterday, my new game when markets are closed. Don't care about it for long term investment

I have been thinking about buying crypto. The 24 hour trading actually makes me nervous. Who knows what may happen when you are sleeping and not watching it.

Just sitting here waiting for news on CCIV... ugh... the wait is the hardest part.

If no news, the cycle will be pretty predictable. A pretty heavy dip the first morning, small recovery by the close. And dips every morning with a recovery by the close.

I wouldn’t let that stop you from buying in. Stocks move from 4am to 8pm and obviously you can’t keep an eye on things 100% of the time. Keep your positions within your risk tolerance and you’ll sleep like a baby.

IMO its still very early in the crypto side of things. (Not saying now is the time to go hog wild into it either)

It’s definitely a different ball game.

You guys seeing what's happening with natural gas this weekend? Electricity costs are skyrocketing too.

I just lived it. Gas meters are spinning so quick you can here then 20-30 feet away. Without power since 1am. Temps below freezing. Zero cell signal. Essentially a regional blackout. This never happens in the Permian Basin of West Texas. Well.....it just did. Woke up to a house with temps inside around 50, 4 kids and two dogs complaining they are feezing. Me, I am just worried about the three freezers and fridges full of meat/food. Helps to have friends who own stores that sale generators and do you a solid opening it up just for you. And a dang good thing I don’t have an electric car, but rather a diesel guzzling super duty to get me to and fro. No way the market would have gotten any of my attention today. Of course, the power just came back on an hour ago so I’ll go undo what I just spent all day doing. But next time....... I’ll be ready.

Natural gas should have a great run tomorrow. Best friends Brother in Law works at a gas plant for Chevron in LA. They shut it and another gas plant down due to weather. Shutting down a game plant is a BIG deal as it’s very costly to get it back up and running (so I am told). With this record breaking cold front plowing through the entire US, demand is at an all time high in many places and the supply has diminished. Will be interesting to see the effects of this.

Just got into PDAC, merging with lithium battery recycler is the rumor. Got in SOS last week and it's cruising.

Picked up a few shares at the bell unfortunately. Guess we'll see how this merger goes

Anyone wanting a good mid-long ETF, look at VWO. Its a Vanguard ETF, emerging markets. Its been a good, consistent steady gainer for us.
