Coinbase. One of my best friends recently sat next to the founder of a crypto and convinced him (soundly) to buy some. He convinced me so I set it up tonight. Pretty easy. I’ll most likely lose it all…

It's that time of the crypto cycle where I start seeing new people getting into it. That is normally the signal for the peak of the bull run lol. Normally I use my parents or aunts and uncles asking where to buy it that I know we are near the top.
It really makes no difference to me. I have been dollar cost averaging for several years now, with a sizable portion of my liquid assets wrapped up in it.
My biggest advice with crypto is that I would not chase any alt coins and focus on BTC and/or ETH. With BTC ETFs out there, there are really easy ways of gaining some crypto exposure without having to learn about coins and wallets. If you are going to buy actual BTC or ETH, you can use a soft wallet like what Coinbase or Kraken have. They are relatively safe. Make sure you use two-factor authentication with an authenticator app (you should be doing this for ALL financial apps, to be honest). If you are in it for the long haul, get yourself a cold storage wallet. The larger exchanges like the ones I just mentioned are relatively safe, but I would not advertise how much you have or where you have it. There are phishing scams everywhere with crypto.

This is my favorite video on bitcoin. It is short and to the point.
I had a buddy in grad school who was getting his PhD in mathematics. He was obsessed with cryptography and blockchain technology and convinced me to sign up for coinbase all the way back then. They were giving 0.1 BTC to anyone with a University email to signup for an account at the time. When I first heard of BTC there were online faucets you could go to and they were literally giving 25 BTC away at a time for anyone who clicked on a box. Of course I was a moron and waited a few market cycles before finally getting convinced to buy some.

I’ve had a couple come along the last month. There are little ones that move big, and big ones that move little. I get excited about the big ones moving a little.

9 days ago Rocket Lab was $19. Could have been bought under $11 on Halloween. I'm pretty happy that I've had 100+% gain in such a short period of time. I bought over half of my position about 18 days ago around $13.72. I sure wasnt expecting this much so quickly. Been straight up ever since....

And good divs they are. DRIP'n makes the snowball grow bigger - faster - as it rolls downhill (time). Buy your FIL a favorite drink, Jordan!! Glad EPD's working for you.

I think they are the only MLP that hasn’t gone under. Don’t quote me on that. They just don’t seem to be around anymore.

In a couple of the publications I read regularly - in Sept. or Oct. an article mentioned several "good" MLP's to invest with. EPD was one of them. I don't know how many MLP's there are / were, so I don't know who's still out there. EPD keeps getting good reviews though.

Very certain that November of 2024, was easily the best month I have ever had in the market and its not even close. I have a self-employed IRA since 2018, and a Roth IRA since 2021. Also have an induvial brokerage account that I manage on my own since 2021. My individual account has absolutely been ON FIRE since the election. I run my riskier plays in there since I want to have complete control over it. Palantir, SOFI, Rocket Lab, and a small position in bitcoin trust have been killing it. IWM (small caps), Tesla and Costco have been doing good too. I did some buying on 10/23 and did more again on 11/7. Those buys look REALLY REALLY good at the moment.
Hopefully we see continued momentum into December. I wanna see the small caps continue to climb since I bet big on them this year. I have a very large position in SOFI compared to all my other positions too. Hopefully it can keep going. I would like to see it catch up to Palantir and Rocket Lab. Shorts against Palantir, RKLB and SOFI have been fleeing the battlefield as they get their asses handed to them. Institutional ownership has been increasing nicely in all three. Hope the big boys keep buying it up.

I cant believe how bigly this thing has got. This is big boy buying. The peasants don't have enough money to drive this. Far beyond my expectation at this point, but I will take it.
