Every thread is crypto!

Does anybody ever talk about anything other than crypto here?
Does nobody invest in stocks?
I can't even figure out how to invest in bitcoin or any crypto.
Investing in stocks is easy, just a talk with a nice Lady at the bank.

I bought NVIDIA a few years ago and used some of that money to buy alibaba / baidu stock at the beginning of last year for a quick doubling.
I've since dumped it all and gone all in shitcoins. I did this in October and am still quite a bit up even with the downturn.

Nice
Any recommendations?
I was just going to let the bank do the investments for me desu.
I feel like I would lose all my money trying to do it myself.

go away with your boomer stocks mate, BIZ is 99% crypto. But I would invest in cyber security companies for example(maybe as an ETF for a much lesser risk), seems like a safe bet for me because this sector can only grow

I want to diversify but I don't know where to begin with stocks.

I'm hoping this bear market in crypto turns around and I can take some profits and start diversifying into index funds. The average ROI for index funds is like 5-7% right?

My goal is to live off of passive income so I can do whatever I want - stay at home, be constantly on vacation, start some kind of small business. The idea is to just not have to work for The Man. I've got a good job already, my boss is cool although old as fuck and super unorganized, but the clients are just in-fucking-sufferable...

same here mate, hope we will se a 2017 like run, than i take min 50% out and diversify it into stocks

Don't do passive investment. Layer multiple risks on top of each other (diversify). If you see some conventional wisdom, see how you can profit from it.
When I went all in shitcoins (traded all my BTC), the conventional wisdom was 50% BTC 25% ETH 20% top 10 5% shitcoins. It was obviously not how the world worked so I bet against it.
I'm a software engineer with a lot of time spent on startups(> 10 years), so I have an eye for what will work and what won't. It's based on code, team research and understanding of the space. I bought NANO at $0.11, EOS at $0.81, IOTA at $0.35, etc.
In short, DYOR and own your risks. Have a plan, my stack went down 20% before rising
much much more than that.
I was prepared to hold for years.

Best of luck to you. I feel like a financial advisor is a good idea, but most financial advisors are boomers that don't get/understand Crypto and are still quick to say that it's based on nothing (although the market is heavily based on speculation and manipulation). It will get sorted.

Some conventional wisdom I think is wrong, currently:
* there are too many coins, we need to flush out the shitcoins
* Invest a portion of your paycheck in your 401k. Everyone is doing this, no way it can fail (classic pyramid scheme logic).
* Index funds beat active investment
* People will see the long term potential of turing complete smart contracts when the capacity 1000xs (looking at you EOS)
* The next generation will be ok with overinflated property prices, being riddled with debt and decreased opportunity.
* Masternodes are scams.
* IOT is just a buzzword
* AI is just a buzzword

>Masternodes are scams.

100% Agree. What do you think about DIVI project for masternodes?

I have DIVI (~3k), I bought during ICO. Lowering the barrier of entry to MN status turns the project into one of two things, maybe both:
a) A pyramid scheme. If normies all jump in then get scared, it could look like chaincoin.
b) A better bank account
I hope it turns out like (b) and I like the team behind DIVI.
I'm also liking YCE and the projects they support. They accomplish much the same (easy MN hosting / setup) without being tied to a specific chain, through guided bots.

wait, are these points you agree with or points you disagree with

>Some conventional wisdom I think is wrong
They are things I hear that I think are misguided.
Sorry for the confusion

I'm holding quite a bit of DIVI myself.
The KYC thing IMO is a necessary evil to future-proof the project with any kind of issues with the SEC.
I think the team is doing an excellent job. They are super-transparent (which is one of the principles of the project) work diligently, low on hype, I could go on, but basically I think it is a winner.

Are you in the TG chat too? We probably know each other in one way or another if so.

Jow Forums was created to purge cryptocucks from Jow Forums. That's the answer to all your questions.

Buy Next plc it's a high street shop, made what I put in within 1 year plus divs

There's a daily /smg/ thread, but that's about it really. Most people are in crypto or ponzi's.

ether capital corp
it's a corporation that owns 50k eth, but you can get some tax shelter through investment vehicles

Stocks are boring. There's no reason to buy anything other than ETFs. Crypto is exciting and there's money to be made and winners and losers to choose.

Crypto is dead, time to move on anons. Millennials will actually have to start working for money, that's going to be real fun to watch.

I am, not very active there. I read a lot

Millenials won't buy into your rigged game, boomer. They are smarter than you give them credit for and have never had an alternative until now.

What rigged game would that be? life where you actually have to do something to make it? Where you have to take responsibility for yourself? Where magical internet money means dick-all?

It's not rigged, you just suck at it and as per usual you try to blame someone else for your own shortcomings.

where are the shrimpies?

The one where newly graduating students are in lifelong debt without hope of home ownership. That's just student loans, the government tax debt is then piled on top, just in case some of them have the gaul to think they can succeed despite the handicap.

That's not a rigged game fren, that's a shithole of a country you live in

I'm not a millenial and I've already made it through multiple avenues. I just recognize trends and don't think the capable and brilliant in the next generation are going to put up with this nonsense.
Crypto provides an alternative path to class mobility based on merit, there has never been a valid alternative path before.
