Lots of organic right?

WTF?

Meat prices are insane. Dairy too. We eat mostly natural raised or organic so that adds to the cost but that’s our choice. Either way, price shock at the supermarket these days.

I would be happy to talk about UFOs and aliens etc but sometimes it’s either Covid or coins around here so I roll with the latter.

A locked brake? Belts and pulleys can also squeal hard.

Oh, I would definitely take profit on that. Put it right into Ethereum.

3 units takes me about an hour. Lol

Good choices for your portfolio but I have become jaded wrt to Stellar. (If you want to stick with top 20 cap coins also check out Polkadot and Chainlink) XLM (Stellar) is a two steps forward one step back exercise in frustration. Just when it looks to break out it retraces. Has not been able to get back to it's ATH through this spectacular bull run so that's telling. It also seems to get held back by the movements of XRP. Very strong resistance around .65 It's attractive because it's cheap and has potential but still forever waiting for that breakout.

Fed already putting out their cya "we told you so" warnings. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/06/fed-warns-of-possible-significant-declines-in-stocks-as-valuations-climb.html

Some dentists are actually ET's putting implants in people for research purposes.

I can give you a full tour of Quabbin and Franklin Co hill towns. Pick Dave up on your way through and we can make a day of it.

They are all pouring into crypto’s.

I feel horrible for first time wannabe home buyers. There are basically no options available for them in most places right now. There are a lot of overbid, speculative purchases, being initiated by profit seekers and people who actually just want a deed on a decent place to live, are stuck paying bloated rents. We have a small but efficient, early 80’s, two bedroom custom ranch, on 3 acres and our valuation has gone up an absurd 25% in the past year. Greenfield taxes are already horrifically high, I told my wife she is never to allow an assessor inside to see the improvements we have made.

Yup, good call.

That is a very real possibility, however, certain Blockchain platforms such as Ethereum, Cardano, Dash, to name a few, Are already tested and functional so it would be cheaper for institutions to just roll with what somebody has already built for them.

That’s a better life than sitting in front of a screen worrying about red candles in your portfolio.

No doubt, I seriously thought I was gonna die from an abscess tooth because it was impossible to find a dentist for a few weeks in March 2020.

Yeah, 3.2” past week here. No drought.

I don't touch RH. I use TDAmeritrade for stocks and Coinbase for Cryptos. Both are cash accounts. Coinbase is US based and acts as a bank account so I don't need a separate crypto wallet which has it's pros and cons. (Also seems less sketchy than foreign exchanges) I deposit $ into CB and it is usually available pretty quickly at which point I can purchase which available cryptos I choose. They don't deal with Doge or many of the other shitcoins and maybe have a total of 25 or 30 available products out of the hundreds that are available on other foreign exchanges. The $ I have invested is pretty much all I play with so, I just exchange cryptos for other crytpos based on trends and profits or losses. (Exchange is still subject to cap gain tax) For instance I had some $ invested in Maker and after it ran hard this week, I exchanged it for ETH because I thought my investment in that project (mkr) had run it's course. I mean obviously I could have converted it to cash but I wanted more ETH. There are a few "stable coins" which are pinned to the US dollar and often traders will convert profits to those so that funds are immediately available rather than bank transfers which have a lag time.

Oh I know. Taken as a whole it is mostly ridiculous. I'm cautious and won't ever get rich from it. I had studied cryptos out of fascination when I had some free time a few years ago. Should have jumped into the projects I liked then but was broke and unsure. Even though I had very little disposable income I jumped in right before the current frenzy because I had an educated feeling about what was coming. I have some stocks but only get slow gains because I don't currently have enough time or energy to put in the due diligence research. Folks like you and N of Pike and others have great advice and hopefully people appreciate that. I've learned some trading strategies but it's a lot of time and energy to do it right, so I just have a few modest long term holds. You are correct though, the stock market is, for the most part, a much safer place if you put some effort in. I have missed some big stock opportunities because I lacked confidence in my research. I've learned a lot though and it has helped me make good choices in the crypto market, just need to time my exit well before the peak and be happy with my gains.

Wow, nice.

If you want to do your homework with crypto‘s then there’s plenty of opportunities that don’t involve as much risk as chasing a shit coin. In a mostly red day five out of six of my holdings are green candles and some of them double digit on the day.

Yeah that sucks but it's crypto casino, there will still be chances if you pick the right coin. I've made some mistakes in the past so now I am happy with long, steady gains.

I vaguely remember this, maybe from the mid-west floods a few years back? Somebody did some quick work with a bulldozer to protect their property?

With something like Doge, stop losses will be useless, because when it corrects it will go into freefall. ETH is here to stay though.
