Christian is amazing. Loved his blockchain course through MIT

Putting well earned money into the bitcoin market can be over emphasize for first time investors unlike a bank where interest is sure thing. Well basically times are uncertain, the crypto market is out of control and banks are gradually failing. I’m planning on a ballpark figure of $3m for retirement and I have about 550k loaded up for this, could they be any opportunities for a boomer like me?

The BlackRock ETF also gives BlackRock the ability to short the Bitcoin market, you cannot think about this one dimensionally. If I were blackrock and then the rest of these banks, I would announce these ETF applications, let the market pump, get all the retail money in there, then as soon as they get approved short the entire market and crash it to near zero, take your profits, let retail come back in slowly, then dollar cost average in toward the next bull run. I would recommend traders to actively manage their assets rather than just holding onto them. I'm eager to observe the market impact of BlackRock's move. I have made over 12btc from day tradng with David Marenda, insights and signals in less than 6 weeks, this is one of the Best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish.

Sepa payments in Europe take 10 seconds at no charge.

I transfer 6 figure amounts from Switzerland to lets say India for less than 4 USD.

I’m so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever. I’m a single mother living in Melbourne Australia, bought my second house in September and hoping to retire next year at 40 if things keep going smoothly for me., ,

Why do I get the feeling Scott would like to see Bitcoin fail (if it wouldn’t affect his shitcoins)

[hakantaskram]

The team behind Web3 Ignite IGNITE3 seems dedicated and knowledgeable. That's a good recipe for success!

[egehesap]

There are much better and safer alternative currencies, including Web3 Ignite IGNITE3, thus I'm no longer interested in those ones.

Bro, don't be a kook! Lol. U know Cardano is way more DECENTRALIZED and way more SECURE!!! and so is ERGO for that matter.
