Good to know...I am planning to slowly sell some of my money market funds into bitcoin ETFs in my IRAs (as we go from currently "lucrative" 5.4% to 4-4.5% interest in 2024, presumably). I was leaning toward Invesco or Fidelity before, but now will give VanEck a look, for sure. My money market funds are just a portfolio stabilizer...and now I want to "destabilize" it a bit, ha ha.

I suppose from experience you might know that you are going to have several options, and I imagine that some employers offer 401ks or various kinds of funds to employees, but they might not have very many options... .. It would be interesting to here hear what kinds of options that people have, and historically various kinds of government 401ks have not had any options for ETFs, and they have ONLY offered various kinds of index funds, so it will be interesting to see if some employers might start to offer more kinds of options in the funds that are available to the employees.

401a/k/b are usually limited..I have a couple, but they only offer index or sector funds..no fun, basically.
However, when you switch jobs, you can roll those funds from 401a/k/b into an IRA, tax free, and in IRA you may have everything, including foreign (Canadian, for example) securities (including ETFs) and even options.

I have a pretty decently-sized 401k that has no administration fees, but it only has various index funds that consist of government bonds, fixed bonds, common stocks, small cap stocks and international stocks.  I wonder if it would be worth it to roll it over.. because wouldn't the IRA have fees.. and maybe I don't really care that much, it is just one of my funds.. and as far as bitcoin I feel that I have enough exposure through direct holding of it.. but then there might be some other options that might be in a rolled over plan that could be enticing.. but then I am not sure if it would be worth the burden since I would also have to go through some kind of process of rolling it over and setting it up and getting used to it...

I could not imagine wanting to invest in a BTC spot ETF, since I already have a lot of BTC exposure.... but yeah, I could see how some folks might consider that they have so much dollar exposure through various income that they have and even with their 401k that they want to get some BTC exposure through some of  those 401k funds.. and surely I would have had consider myself in that same kind of a group in 2013, 2014, 2015 and even 2016 or early 2017, but as my BTC holdings grew so much relative to those 401k holdings, the 401k seem to be a drop in the bucket, even though earlier I had considered them as kind of BIG ass deals..

As for caffeine intake, I take plenty. Not from coffee, but from Coca-Cola. I'm almost ashamed to say it, but I'm addicted to it. It's of the "Zero" variety, so there are no calories, but there is caffeine (and other chemicals). I think I may have become immune to it by now, I don't sense any caffeine effect by drinking or not drinking coffee, as long as I take my daily fix of Coke.

There may be zero calories in Coke Zero but the artificial sweeteners in diet/zero drinks are more difficult for our body to process. It's advisable to take carbonated drinks as little as possible.

Advised by whom..again?
This is a "legend", nothing more.
In short, it is not carbonation, but the other "stuff".

https://www.scripps.org/news_items/5224-are-carbonated-beverages-harming-your-health

“While soda and other carbonated drinks have been associated with negative health effects, carbonation is not harmful in and of itself,”

Never drink a fucking soda. If you like carbonation there are lots of empty water with only bubbles brands.  If you want flavor there are 20 or 30 safe essential oils that make a plain carbonated water taste great.

use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J4G90O2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?

1 or 2 drops a glass.  and this

https://polarseltzer.com/original/


learn to never have sugar or any artificial sweetened drinks .

Use your sugar in desserts only.

Trust me on this a a 66 soon to be 67 year old diabetic sweetened drinks are really fucking bad.

I showed a random bottle of seltzer I can get for 50 cents on a sale that bottle of peppermint will last 300 bottles at 2 drops.

Other good shit to put in seltzer.

pure cranberry juice

https://rwknudsen.com/products/p/fruit-juices/just-cranberry-juice


and 2 oz of the juice to 14 oz of the seltzer .


with one or 2 shots of vodka https://www.belvederevodka.com/

or you can drink the juice with just the seltzer.


when you want sweet stuff high quality desserts and or chocolates.

If you have the cranberry and seltzer with or without the vodka and then eat this chocolate.


  

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008KQ06NM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?

you will get a synergy of flavor that is remarkable.


and far less fucked up than Coca Cola.

Apparently, the rumor is that BlackRock already lined up $2bil from the existing bitcoin investors during wk1.
Analysts are stunned...no kidding.

EDIT: some bank estimated before that btc has a 118X multiplier, which means for every $1 bil invested, the market cap goes up 118 bil. Not sure how they calculated this, but if true, then it is about $236 bil added in a week, which is roughly $12K/btc....nice (that 10K candle might happn, if not on a daily, then on the weekly, perhaps).

I don't see how we aren't above 100k this year with that math.

You have a valid solution to merge all his 24 posts into 1 after 24 hours. But who will do that? I don't think moderator will be willing to do that job on daily basis.

If we see that chart from human perspective then you and BADecker are the leader no matter how much buddy posts.

I can see merging consecutive posts, yet the merging of 24 posts is bullshit.

We need to see Buddy's posts every hour and on the hour and interspersed with the other main posts - otherwise it seems a waste of time to have a buddy to be merged or not within the stream.

We must thank Richy_T for this creation, and no one else has such a great little buddy bot like that.. .none that I know about.  Thank you buddy and thank you richy_T... thanks for coming back somewhat from your Big blocker nutjob - taking your marbles - rage quit. .and at least allowing us to enjoy the innovative informative hourly contributions of chartbuddy..

Buddy is no doubt a popular bot here, its evident from the discussion going on about his posts here.

There may be zero calories in Coke Zero but the artificial sweeteners in diet/zero drinks are more difficult for our body to process. It's advisable to take carbonated drinks as little as possible.

You can do mineral water that is carbonated, and that is o.k. It is the ones with sweeteners (or non-sweeteners or whatever extra flavorings) that are bad for you.

Carbonated mineral water is o.k for everyone.
I am just of the opinion that unrefined sugar consumption should be minimal. The body face difficulty while digesting excessive quantity of unrefined sugar.
