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 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.

And still she says she doesn't understand cryptocurrency. So modest!

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.

Ha! I was watching SHIB last night. Had gone up 50% in a day. I’m still in the red on it though.
Had a friend think he made $1K on it but he can’t find his key…

I have made over $1k and I have my key.

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.

Okay, I put the money I had set aside for one of Karla’s Christmas Gifts on Solana. Let’s see if she is getting new EarPods, a diamond necklace, or a lovely card for Christmas…
And I am finally in the black. Up 13% all time…

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.

Vinnik, accused of laundering more than $4 billion through the digital currency bitcoin, was arrested in 2017 in Greece at the request of the United States, although Moscow has repeatedly demanded he be returned to Russia.
The U.S. Department of Justice has said Vinnik "allegedly owned, operated, and administrated BTC-e, a significant cybercrime and online money laundering entity that allowed its users to trade in bitcoin with high levels of anonymity and developed a customer base heavily reliant on criminal activity."
