@SumKindaMunster very much so

@Workerbee Crypto is a scam. I recommend a buy and hold strategy with S&P stocks.

@SumKindaMunster is it a scam? Bitcoin doubled from $20k to $40k in one year
@SumKindaMunster why just the standard and poor? No tech stocks on the NAS? Crypto isnt a scam in total its just unregulated cuz the SEC hasnt passed any laws bout whats a commodity and whats a security aka bitcoin being a commodity like gold cuz theres no creator unlike ethereum

@Workerbee @TryingtoLava Sorry, being glib here. Crypto isn't a scam per se, but there are a lot of scams in Crypto and you need to exercise caution.
Yeah Bitcoin doubled in one year, it's also plummeted from $68k to less than $20k in a year.
If you feel you can make money in that type of environment, God bless you.
I myself, made over $4000 on Bitcoin early on when I bought a couple for like $100 or something.
Also lost $1200 in Bitcoin thinking I knew what I was doing...I don't believe in it as a long term investment. Too volatile. I DO have some money in Bitcoin but that is to purchase items on the internet as sometimes its easier and a better bargain to pay with Bitcoin.

I am doing a buy and hold strategy for stocks on the S&P. I picked the S&P as it is relatively stable and shows growth over time. I've made money investing in Microsoft, Wells Fargo, Apple, Nvidia, and Netflix. I own some stock in stalwart companies like Coca Cola, 3M, and Berkshire Hathaway. There are TONS of tech stocks in the S&P, besides the ones I mentioned there is also Adobe, Western Digital, Micron Technologies, Oracle, HP, AMD and Juniper networks.

I believe you are wasting your time and money investing in Crypto unless its to dabble and see what you can do, I would definitely NOT make it a long term investment strategy, again too volatile.

@SumKindaMunster yes I know crypto is risky and I am not invested in it currently I am a dividend investor and so far have made almost 3k in 2 months not doing too bad
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Workerbee Nice. How bad are the capital gains taxes on that? I usually just reinvest my dividends, I don't need the money right now.
Workerbee · 31-35, M
@SumKindaMunster i thought about reinvesting the dividends but i need the money for bills as i am currently unemployed, as for taxes i am not sure ive never made this much money with investing so i will have to see next year during tax season
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Workerbee Yeah be careful there. You do have to pay capital gains tax on any money you make in stocks and they will report it to the IRS.
Workerbee · 31-35, M
@SumKindaMunster yes i am waiting on the tax form 1099 so i can do all my taxes, it comes out next week i think
@Workerbee it came out already from coinbase at least
Workerbee · 31-35, M

@Workerbee eww robinhood is horrible google what they do
