anybody else into cryptocurrency?

Yep my wife listened to a friend that bought bitcoin made money, and against my better judgement wanted 20k. Well let’s just say I couldn’t buy 4 tires for what’s left. But I forgot all about it and this thread has sparked some bad memories. So now I will go back to tell her that’s why I buy the cars because they’re real and I can see them.

got into a few of these last year made a few bucks, thinking with the new administrations push toward it, how can you lose, ended up picking up some more DOGE last november. speculatiors are predicting big gains, withe Elon pushing it also, and running the department of government efficiency, (DOGE). I'm in. and bitcoin is $104,000.00 plus per coin. I was talking to a friend 8 years ago and I was going to buy some, my wife talked me out of it.

It is a pnzi scheme that seems to be holding value. The day that everyone decides to pull their money out, it'll crash hard. I won't invest in anything that isn't linked to a tangible thing, like a business or precious metal. If you can get in low and cash out high, in a short amount of time, that would be good, but the risk is high. Whenever I ask someone to explain to me what bitcoin is, I love to hear the word salad explanations. I'm good.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve researched and asked but never had an answer that tells what it really is.

It appears to have similar underpinnings to the Holland tulip bulb craze, but with fancier language behind it. My wife's kid brother, who is way "smarter" than me, and has already earned at least twice what I made in my career, loves it. He has also displayed an uncanny knack for buying high and selling low in every investment he ever made.

I always hear the argument that there is a fixed quantity of Bitcoin that can ever be produced and that limited supply is what will drive the value to the moon.

Q. But what is to stop thousands of other cryptos being created and diluting the value of crypto altogether? A. Nothing.

It's coming, like it, or not. If you got into it when it started, you would be at Mecum, or BJ, with a Semi-hauler, to bring home what you'd like to. We tried to buy BC when it was $1800/coin, but my Financial guy had no connections, or confidence in it at the time. A $9K investment, 5 "coins", would yield approx $520,000 today. Apparently it has more value, than Most of you believe, as if you go to the American Precious Metals Exchange site, you'll see They Accept Crypto for Metals, so thinking it's Not Legal Tender, is a mistake. XRP is still fairly reasonable for entry, $3.1x today, as it is mentioned often as an up & coming world currency path, with some predictions reaching $100+ ? I can only say that our current Fed Note, will be changing, maybe sooner than most would like to believe, as it currently has NO BACKING, especially IF Our New Admin Audits the Fed, which is a Private Corporation.

You're correct. BC is reaching it's "mining limit", with under 10% left to be created. This aspect I have No knowledge on the concept, except when it's gone, It's Gone. What other cryptos come into play, will depend on what the Sovereign Nations decide to use, as tender, so that's where being in early is the key. We've misplaced our Crystal Ball, so we'd probably have to research, and guess at it. Right now guessing is BC, Etherium, and XRP Leading the way ???
