    a little free investment advice: dont invest yet. the stock market is going to crash again, and soon. my guess is in the next 6 months. hold on to it and wait. or invest it in a smaller cryptocurrency like litecoin. after it crashes, sell the crypto and buy stocks

  • From MASTERBTCLTC:

    I believe in bitcoin so much that I own more litecoin. If you truly understand bitcoin then you can see litecoin will survive as well. Litecoin has all the same qualities of bitcoin & a couple key differences one is that there isn’t a satoshi stash. #ltc? #litecoin?

  • From LucaNetz:

    I’ve been seeing a trend with parabolic stocks / Coins with CEOs with large followings. I had my first 100k day with litecoin back in 2018 because Charlie Lee was so big back then. I would’ve caught square and Tesla better if I didn’t let this go over my head
