BTC can only store as much value as someone else is willing to buy it from you for.

Similar to gold, but at least gold can be made and used in other things. BTC no so much. It’s a speculation play, one that has made people rich, but let’s not confuse it for what it is.

From that article I linked: “Bitcoin is a high-risk asset that mostly trades on vibes, and it has no fundamentals. In many ways, that makes the cryptocurrency the ideal asset to create a bubble since it can theoretically be pumped forever. There's no real basis to claim it's overvalued or undervalued.”

One one hand, the govt is destroying the value of the dollar, so we’re looking for a store of value in btc. But on the other hand, I think buying btc is simply buying a software algorithm that has zero intrinsic value. Time will tell…

I'm always curious of these tips....one look at their 5 year chart threw cold water on my curiosity
It’s been shorted heavily recently. Cramer even panned it! But if you believe in the Cramer opposite affect maybe it has a chance? 🤣

“Not enough specialty,” Cramer said when asked about ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:ZI). “Let's pass on that.”

On Nov. 12, ZoomInfo Technologies reported better-than-expected earnings for its third quarter.

Bitcoin has fundamentals. It's the hardest asset, best money there is. There is states, nations, and the united states filing paper work and pushing hard for strategic bitcoin reserves now. Pensions, corporations and billionaires are buying it up. Wallstreet etfs, Larry Fink and blackrock are loading up. Game theory is going to kick in and the race will be on. It's going to 100k to 150k by Christmas. 1 million as soon as next year or by 2030 at the lastest. And then to 13 million plus. Fidelity says it could be 1 billion by 2038. You might want to get some incase it catches on.

Bitcoin is an interesting one. The longer it sticks around and the more infrastructure that is set up to manage it [etf's, places like Robinhood that trade it, fund managers not only allowing but some recommending a small allocation in some portfolios, the better chance that it has to stick around and be a true store of value like gold and silver. I realize its different bc you cant hold it but that is also part of what makes it unique. Other digital assets work better for small purchases as far as cost of transactions so not sure it will ever thrive as digital money.
Its limited supply 21 million max [19.88 million already mined] make it one of the few things that cant be printed and printed into oblivion.
Talk about holding some in the federal reserve has been thrown around but I see that as a hard sale when we dont know for sure who created it and if they are or are not alive... I have some but realize it could go south in a hurry. Do your own research this is not financial advise! ha

I’m new to this part of the game, I cruise the interweb for interesting ideas and happened upon this on Reddit. Who knows though, it could be bs.
That Reddit snippet was a thoughtful analysis but who knows...and the GOOG comment gives it more credibility- I think anyway...I own a bunch of GOOG as a LT holding. When everything else is at a huge multiple.....GOOG is in an extremely reasonable range and could double from here in a couple years, IMO.

Admittedly, I'm the wrong guy to ask about these micro cap stocks.

I did turn my son on to SMR a year and 1/2 ago, passing on it myself where he bought some in a couple buys below $6, it was up another 12% this AM, over $30...BTW, this is not a recommendation to buy here.

I'm waiting for our Senators and Congressmen to buy it....Grin

same... i was just using my fun money account on robinhood :cry:

regardless its going to pay for something real nice in the future unless i keep reinvesting it.
Yea, the whole 60 bucks I threw out it is really paying off right now. Hahaha.

That’s all I had in my Trad IRA so I just said **** it and bought 200 shares at 30 cents.

Every year couple years i cash out and start over with $500. Its my version of gambling money.

So far its paid for alot of fun stuff. However if I would have left those funds in I would be farther ahead over all. Got to live a little...

Now for my real investments.... ZIONS has really done well for me since i bought in at $18 a share back in march of 2023. I think im going to hold it till it hits around $75/share and move it somewhere else.

Costco is the stock that keeps on giving. I would not be surprised to see it split in 2025. It is almost going to break $1k. Barring any major losses, It looks like my personal investment account and my retirement accounts are all going to beat the S&p and Dow and almost beat the Nasdaq for 2024. Great year for me in investing.
