I started looking into all this cryptocurrency stuff. Do you think money can be made still, or did that ship sail? Oh, it definitely can! People thought Bitcoin might hit $50k by the end of the year and it did it by mid-February! Some stores are going to accept it as currency, too. Once that happens, watch it go up even higher! It seems like it keeps going up and up. I just wish I had hopped on it when you could like 500 bitcoins for a $1, feels like you can't make "too" much money on it now compared to then. I hear you. I remember people talking about it back then. It's suggested it might hit $100k by the end of the year now, with the current growth. Now that you can buy fractional shares from some brokerages, you can just put in like $20 or whatever and just let it ride. I might do that though I'm sure the days of somehow turning $20 into 2 million dollars have passed. I know there's all kinds of other cryptocurrencies out there but I'm not sure which ones are worth buying. There are. It's good to do research for yourself because no one can tell you if you should or shouldn't invest in something. I'm watching Dogecoin. It started as a joke, but it's so cheap right now, it can't hurt to put some extra cash on it. The one based on the old meme? I heard about that, makes me want to invest too but it feels more like gambling than anything. Yep! This is how I look at it. If you went and bought a lottery ticket or scratchoffs, you might win a bit or your money might be tossed in the garbage. If you invest the same amount, it's still there. If the stock goes down, you're still ahead of buying scratchoffs because that total would be zero. If it goes up, that's great! Don't spend more than you can afford to lose. That's one thing I do know about stocks (and crypto I guess) is never to invest more than you're willing to lose. I invested in a stock the other month based on bad advice, but at least I didn't lose all my money. Right now I'm wondering if I should pull my money out or see if the stock will take off at some point. That's the tricky thing. Stocks might do poorly now, but pick up and kick off in a year or so. I follow The Motley Fool. They usually have some pretty good advice. I haven't heard of them, maybe I'll look and see what they have to say. It'd be nice to be doing more than just making blind wagers and hoping that time will vindicate my decisions. haha Yeah, definitely. You can read the blog for free, but they also have stock recommendation services. I subscribed to their Stock Advisor and it's been pretty good so far.
