I've had a Bitcoin wallet with like 0.001 in it just sitting for the last couple years. Lol.

I'm holding monero, it's like bitcoin but untraceable, hope it goes up more

I like monero, not a fan of having just one address though. I can't publicly post one address to receive donations and a different one for private transactions.

You could make another address for donations and post that one. Multiple addresses are allowed in a single wallet iirc.

Maybe. I haven't used it in a couple years.

I just got in a couple mos ago, could have changed

I’m not into all the crypto’s yet but I know a lot ab normal finance

Sadly IRAs and 401ks are all dependent on the state so...

Now’s the time to buy stocks

ERX is a good one

Its eh

put it in berk.b

forget about it

bitcoin, Probably see a return on that in a year

I got shitted on by crypto. I lost thousands when it crashed a couple year back. Haven’t invested in it since. Economy is down. Lots of cheap stocks out there now

Don’t even fuss with individual stocks

Index funds and let them ride

My 401k is back up to where it was before the start of this covid shit

I’d be more worried ab long term effects

reminds me that I need to move my 401k from my old job to my new job

Just remembered, there's a mutual fund that my economics professor suggested as supposedly it consistently outperforms the S&P 500. "AMAGX"

still pretty closely matches it, though it doesn't seem to dump as hard as the rest of the stock market when things turn south. I forgot what it was, but he said something about being ran with islamic principles, specifically excluding certain types of businesses.

islamic principles also means (mostly) no interest rate on loans. or very low rates.

I wanna say he said they don't have any stock that has to do with banking companies

> islamic principles also means (mostly) no interest rate on loans. or very low rates.
@Thecoolnerd98 Christian doctrine also condemns usury, unlike Talmudic Judaism.

Unfortunately thats rarely followed anymore

I cashed my 401k out a while ago. Yeah I had to pay taxes and penalty and no longer get employer matching. But I've literally doubled my return rate by re-investing everything myself. Plus I can take out the money whenever I want now without asking for permission or getting slapped with penalties and taxes. Obviously dont do this if you dont have any clue about investing.

Fucking taxes

Taxation is theft

Indeed

It is, indeed

Good evening gents.
I disagree

Daily reminder that taxation is theft

I was trying for a drive by argument and y'all just took it

Hey fellow people that agree that taxation is theft

TAXES ARE THE PRICE WE PAY FOR CIVILIZED SOCIETY!!

Now fight me bitches

Taxes aren’t inherently evil

If they were voluntary

Ah yes, I feel like giving my money to a wasteful and inefficient bureaucracy that never ends.

Then don’t

I just said voluntary

But thats the issue isn't it. The application of force is required for taxes. I think a return to the system pre 1900 would work. Tax products. Most of the government's money was derived from the tax on alcohol before income taxes. And we did ok. Not great but we we're capable of building roads and a navy

Not if it’s voluntary

I don’t agree with a forced tax

And on that note a Dan "Taxation is Theft " Behrman staffer enters the chat. 😂😂😂

Expected market analytics or something. No... same shit, different chat. 😂😂😂

Dividend investing has been working out rather well for me with this Covid shit lol

Gotta yolo spy puts then swap to calls the next day. Stay one step ahead of JPOW and his magic printer
