What is going on today? - Megathread

…and yes I am currently selling off all the free Bitcoin I got from 2019/2020 at a rate of £500 each week. Not because I do not think it will go onto higher highs for decades to come, but because I want a hefty investment portfolio and paid property purchased in cash first.

I get it that by 2030 Bitcoin could reach £500,000. But for me to have no mortgage and a backup investment portfolio able to fund my lifestyle whilst being young is the aim. Didn’t think it was doable in 2018 then by 2019 I saw the ability that maybe it was doable and intentionally made a direction and created opportunity.

Blah blah blah blah!!

:joy: I don’t have the time or energy to respond to such utter nonsense.

Please keep your promise to stay silent, even though it would be a travesty to prevent such wisdom from all your 6 whole years as an investor, from being shared with this forum.

It’s happening. Albeit slowly. What’s the saying, it happened slowly and then all of a sudden.

So many investors have done so well it’s natural to begin going into wealth protection mode. Something I believe will be the story of the next 3-5 years.

Many in the group below billionaire consisting of hundreds of millions in wealth again going to go into hibernation mode & wealth protection.

I see 2030-2035 a telling era. Maybe some of this wealth will be used to fix the lack of desirable affordable property and create many new jobs with the emerging sectors happening now? For our children’s sake I hope so.
