The nice thing about this thread is that every time I check to see how crypto is doing, I see my Nvidia has gone up.

Shit is insane. I bought +-5 shares at $200 during the chip shortage thinking some caveman: "They gonna make chips. Rrrrrr...." and now those $200 shares are over $1k each.

Fucking madness.

Nice, hang on to that shit for sure

I got on the NVDA train back in 2021 when it was around $220, it was up for a while but slowly sank to $120 and I didn't have an exit plan, so I sold when it got to $280 right before it went non-linear.

But I hopped back in last Oct at $420, up huge now, have an exit in place this time if it dips below $850 (nice 100% gain locked in, otherwise to the moon baby!!)

ETH appears to have semi-stabilized with the ETF coming up, I like it.

Just reset my NVDA exit plan to exit at $105 post-split (150% profit, x2.5 my purchase price)

Sold some AVGO, cha-ching, I love their CEO!! Still have some I'm sitting on long.

The AI bubble has to burst (at least to some degree), but how long until it does is the question.

Imma just put this here so everybody can rake me on it in like two years:

AI is a different thing. No bubble. It's a transformative technology, more like the automobile than some ephemeral shit like the nonsense dot coms in the nineties. (Which, to be fair also yielded some of the world's largest companies in the long run)

So yeah. You're in 1910 saying: I'm getting out of the motor-car market! Once this bubble bursts, the horse will be back! Ho ho!

A side thing: This thing I have called SMR (NuScale Power) is starting to move up. They make little nuclear plants that you can put anywhere. The idea is that people will power AI data centers with them.

We'll see, but it could be a fun thing to get into. It's still ground floor.

It could also flop tho.

agree with you long term, maybe it's better to say a deflation and not a burst. I like that you can actually do something useful with generative AI, it's not complete speculation. There was some discussion that inflation was not as bad as expected due to productivity gains from AI (get more done with out hiring extra people), that makes sense to me. As in any gold rush invest in pick axes though.

On a separate note, I need to look into the portable nuclear power plants, that sounds nuts. I need one for camping for sure (hey kiddos, check this out !! :twisted: )

ps - just checked, dogecoin=0.12¢ today

According to CryptoPotato ETH could take a 30% dump after the ETF launches

Gotta love Crypto, no one has any idea what is going to happen!

I literally just sold off all my (non-IRA) stock and kept my crypto. Probably should've done the opposite, but I had to pay off some credit card debt. The interest was worse than whatever gains I was making in the market.

Smart! I got screwed by credit card debt for years, eventually succeeded in paying it all off.

The APR's are crazy now, 20%+ seem common, I think mine is around 24%??

I pay off my credit card on a weekly basis now, it's easy because it's online. I have not paid a cent in interest EVER (around 7 years at least) and they give me a percentage of what I spend back in cash.

I'm up $2500 on cash back for the year, I love they are paying me instead of the other way around haha. How do you like them apples!!

In 2013 I won $14,000.00 from an online casino.
They wanted to pay me in bitcoin, I opted for cash.
Anyone know what that would be worth now?

Based on an arbitrary average of $100 per coin in 2013 (it was between 60-140 that year), that would come out to somewhere around $12,853,703.80

So...you lost out on about 13 million bucks.

So, what did you do w/ the $14,000? Something worthwhile, I hope.

Too bad they didn't have some hedge option like half cash and half bitcoin, then you'd have 6 million at least :D

Why didnt you let that bitcoin ride to about 4mil, then funnel it into DOGE, and turn it into 250 mil. Why didnt you do that?! Moron.
