You could say the same thing about Apple, M$, Google, Nvidia, Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, ...

Hindsight is always 20/20 and useless for the here and now.  However, understanding repeating patterns and probability will serve future you.   

Using your intellect, what are the disruptive market entities that you should be investing in today to reap the POTENTIAL exponential returns of tomorrow?  🤨

Ha!  Reddit is a cesspool with a few diamonds scattered in it.  Selectively use the information you find there to your advantage, but attempting to clean up the overwhelming crap is as waste of your time and energy.

"Well, we don't deal the deck down here, we just play the cards"  - Daryl Van Horne The Witches of Eastwick (1987 film) written by John Updike.

Relax and HODL.  You have a good idea about what is going to happen, just take it easy and act calmly and rationally.

Yeah sometime money can change how people treat you even those close to you. That reality made me more guarded too. I think staying low-key and protecting your peace is more important than proving anything to anyone.


This.  👍👍👍

First they laughed, then they scoffed, then they became jealous, then angry.  Wealth cannot protect your health, security, and peace and it forces you to choose you friends / relationships very carefully.

Congratulations to all.

This has been, and continues to be, the ride of a lifetime.  👍🏻😁

Ha!

The guy at work who laughed at me for buying BTC back in 2012 is still working.

I retired early two years ago as a direct result of my BTC holdings.

No.  Not even once.

Of course all my initial investment and massive profits have been taken off the table and I'm letting "house" money ride.  😎

BTC has literally been life changing.  There's no way I would sell off and no longer be a part of it. 😁

I loan money to the broke ass US Government by purchasing Treasury Bills that are maintained in the custody of my broke ass government regulated brokerage accounts.
I own shares of Blackrock that are maintained in the custody of my broke ass government regulated brokerage accounts.
I own shares of Coinbase that are maintained in the custody of my broke ass government regulated brokerage accounts.
I own shares of the available crypto ETFs and MSTR that are maintained in the custody of my broke ass government regulated brokerage accounts.
I own free and clear my home that the broke ass government taxes me on every year.
I own precious metals, crypto, and other tangible assets that I maintain custody of since I don't have enough faith in my financially irresponsible broke ass government to trust them with all of my assets.

Don't keep all of your eggs in one basket.  Cool

...stop leaving your coins on any centralised exchanges in general.

This never stops being true.  Not your keys, not your bitcoin.

You say "Economic Downturn" like it's a bad thing rather than a normal part of the economic cycle.

What will "save" you is preparing yourself financially for the downturn by reallocating assets and purchasing undervalued assets that will be "on sale".

Of course, if you're a wage slave dependent on income from working then you will be screwed with an unstable income that will not keep pace with inflation.
