      Lol I honestly plan on checking mine in 10 years. Now if SHIBA goes to the moon, let me know, I’ll cash that out.

        Hahaha totally fair! I haven't checked my balances, I just saw some charts in headlines that show a bit of an upward trend.

        Anyway, @LuFins-Dad will let me know when SHIBA goes to the moon, then I'll sell. I think I have 26 million SHIBA coins.

            I’m listening to the new Michael Lewis book about SBF/FTX.

            It’s fascinating.

              My Crypto balance is +1130% over Dec 22, 2022…

              And it’s still down 20% overall…

                  Crypto is going crazy.

                  Bitcoin is over $60k again. It's halving in 47 days. The block reward is getting cut in half. This will make mining more difficult which usually drives the price up.

                    Shiba Inu is worth more than 2x what I have in it now. Just waiting for it to hit 0.01. It has a long way to go.

                    I have 39,000,000 of them.

                      Ha! I was watching SHIB last night. Had gone up 50% in a day. I’m still in the red on it though.

                        I know this has been talked about through this thread, but I just don't get crypto. To me it is like the tulip craze in Nederlands.

                        I have a friend who is a crypto fan and challenged him to live off of crypto for one month and I will do the same with USD. But, he would actually have to convert crypto into goods directly. He couldn't convert to "money" first.

                        He declined.

                            Optimistic take on BitCoin specifically is that it turns to gold. Gold has no value - just a shiny metal that we all believe in. Bitcoin is supposed to be digital gold that's less subject to political shifts.

                            That's the theory anyways.....

                            I personally don't see much value in it - but I don't see much value in gold either.

                                    The only "problem" I have is that I moved my SHIB to a private wallet during the last "crypto scare" when exchanges were failing, and to move it to where I can cash out, I have to buy $50 minimum purchase of Ethereum to pay for the transfer to an exchange. Should probably do that sooner than later as ETH keeps going up too.

                                          If Crypto maintains the same pace of growth that it’s had over the past 3 months, I can retire comfortably in 9 months, lol.
