Yeah, everyone here is aware enough to be playing roullette responsibly with crypto. But not everyone is. I had to talk my son in law down from game stop a few months ago.
Well, JSM said he was going to YOLO in NIO and crypto, but I suspect most of us here are playing with fun money. I’m not really cut out for high stakes investing, I made money in GameStop and still found it incredibly stressful.
I’m in for a little closer to $300 if you count the freebee tokens. But yeah, it can go to zero and my life won’t change.
I wonder if ANKR is finally starting to catch. It has not done much since I bought it other than go down slowly about 14%, but that all came back today.
My balance could be nearing stressful levels in a few more days of this.

I just read the description of ANKR and understood about 70% of the words.
Also, who is naming these? Dogecoin… sure. Now we have Shiba Inu. Pancake swap? Sushi swap? The OMG Network?
You know that scene in Office Space where they are reading the definition of money laundering in the dictionary? That’s where I’m at right now with this.
Last 30 days
I locked in some Poly gains when it hit $2.50. I still think it will hit $5.
I bought VET at $.16. Cuz ya know - Vets are cool. 
I feel so old fashioned, working away with money passively stashed away in the S&P

right?!
FWIW, 100% of my retirement money and savings are traditionally invested.
I don’t even consider the rental properties I own to be “worth” all that much. They are a nice source of passive income at the moment. But they are trashed. When a renter moves out, we will have to put thousands into renovating them for the next renter. Still coming out ahead but I don’t count them in income or much in net worth.
Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?
Yeah I’m being silly but it does feel a bit FOMO, but then that makes me think it must be a bubble because if it’s reached me then it must be well gone through…?
I don’t think NIO is as much as gamble as crypto. I’m using NIO as diversification for crypto
But yeah, I have 6 figures in NIO and crypto combined, likely will double the amount at the next dip.
Ankr (ANKR) is an Ethereum token that powers Ankr, a Web3 infrastructure and cross-chain staking DeFi platform that aims to increase efficiency in blockchain ecosystems by building dApps, hosting nodes or staking.[1] The ANKR token can be used to pay for services on the Ankr platform, such as node deployment and API services, participate in on-chain governance and also acts as an insurance for network participants. Ankr uses idle computing resources in data centers to help developers and enterprise clients to quickly deploy blockchain nodes at a lower cost than public cloud providers.[2][3] Coinbase began supporting ANKR for trades on March 23, 2021.[4]
Capital named it along with Maker, Compound, Uniswap, Aave, and Chainlink as some of the DeFi “coins to watch” in 2021.[5] As of 22 April 2021 Ankr had a market capitalization of $1.05billion, making it the 89th most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization.[2] Ankr coins are limited to a total supply of 10 billion.[2] Approximately seven billion Ankr coins are currently in circulation.[2]
I have no idea what any of that first paragraph actually means.

The names add to the dodgy appeal. I think Internet Computer is by far the worst and it makes me happy to see it go down each day.
It’s a dumb name and the acronym is even worse.
I’m sure my kids would have picked up on that one.
Even more reason for it to go down.

Well I guess Bitcoin is not an inflation hedge as has been suggested. It actually goes down in value when people start needing more cash to buy inflated goods and services.
That is a problem today where not many places accept crypto. That’s one reason why I think this is still potentially early in the game.
It is all very speculative for now.
