What's that?
Is that the simulation you talked about
paper trading apps, simulated stock trading
yes
Ah interesting
What is better? PC or mobile
Just dumped into comp
🤞
Cross your fingers, arms legs and penis if it's long enough
Hope for the best
But be prepared for the worst
Use coinbase. Until you get the hang of what you're doing, you can also make free coin from it too. So it basically let's you play around for free. That's what i recommend to everyone at first.
Then I'd switch to bittrex. That's my personal fav for day trades.
Then I have hard wallets for the rest of my stuff that I just hold and don't mess with.
This multinational inter industry investors/share and digital coin based market makes my head hurt a bit
But that's to be expected with all those complex interactions
You can also always invest in stock for a longer term, get lower taxes for that instead of getting hit with short term capital gains taxes (which I hear is just normal tax)
and you don't get taxed until you pull it out and it becomes realized gains
if you lose money, it's realized losses and you can actually write that off on your taxes
Oh really
What is the tax percentage? Or it depends on the value?
percentage changes depending on how much you made, just like with income
puts you into a higher tax bracket the more you make.
Interesting
This is foreign to me, here in PR it always stays static no matter what you earn
It's an 11.5% and increasing, corrupt sons of bitches
They get billions and we are still on debt
how old are you?
and do you have a retirement account setup? You should at least be contributing to that, earlier the better
like a 401K or Roth IRA
18 now, just getting the hang of a bunch of stuff
ok, you don't necessarily have to have an employer that does matching retirement fund contributions, you can always open an account and just do it on your own
although it's a nice thing to have when looking for work
the earlier in life you start that, the better. Lots of people think that just depending on social security will be sufficient, but it won't be
This is quite the change of old ways
How old are you?
I suppose you are... 20s early 30s...
or they'll start their retirement account in their mid 40's early 50's and they're screwed
30's
I started my retirement account when I hit 20, and just had a "set it and forget it" approach to it.
automatic contributions from my paycheck would go to it and I'd check on it every once in a while
I've always gotten myself around by washing cars, selling newspapers, that type of stuff
This... is so alien, but it will come as benefit
Tho I dont want to dedicate my life into the economy, everybody wants to be rich but life has taught me its better to just be sufficiently well off for your family and to help others
yeah I've also been thinking about setting up an IRA or a 401k plan
I have a couple grand to put toward that
I'm planning to start one as well, maybe freeze some funds on an account gaining interest and figure out a way of getting a passive income while I'm either studying or already in business
But greed is... quite the motivator
I need to learn to control it, before I throw myself in
is there another way to build up money but like not for retirement?
savings is too slow
obviously I can't access social security or anything
