Love to see young, ambitious, talented and such smart people helping to shape the space. Education of gray-haired RIA's and Institutions is key. Once they see it, they can't un-see it - they're in.

I’m hoping ! I collected 1.24 btc over the past 18 months .
I was unemployed but just got a new job and I hope I make make enough to live and keep my BtC without drawing down for living expenses! Should I do a blockfi loan for living expenses or padding to supplement my new income ?

When financial institutions see the outflow of AUM they will be join the crypto platform. Millions of people including myself are draining their brokerage and bank accounts to allocate to crypto. Paypal and coinbase AUM will rip assets away from old finance. Ether has the upside of bitcoin without the regulatory risk.

You know when you seem to come out of nowhere but you adopt the appearance of some kind of “expert”, with bots cheering you on in your comment section, that you are one of those who would have bad things happen to us in the end as long as you get to keep going. I pray that they take the bitcoin and other assets back from everyone who has been cheating and deceiving others.

price gap, credit facility, margin requirement and closed trade were all like foreign language to me before even countless times of trial tring to study online and trading by my self but it was all in vain but luckily for me a friend of mine introduced me to MR Achilles Basil who made trading a whole lot of different story for me compared to the past .This skilled personality who is my stock broker thought me the basic requirement of trading at a point in percentage and how he used the basic trading strategies such as scalping, swing trading, position trading etc to make huge profits in bitcoins
