I knew a guy, family man, who blew his brains out after he lost all of his money in crypto.

We are going to have to be damned lucky to avoid a major recession or much worse.

Muskrat the ------ was behind this.
Cash out all your stocks, and buy as much gold as you can.

"We are going to have to be damned lucky to avoid a major recession or much worse."
It goes without saying. Republicans always get into power specifically so they can create an economic calamity foe Demodrats to clean up, It's in their DNA!

I agree, LYD; I'm putting 100K in gold this week.

I agree with the stance taken by SEC Chair Gary Gensler and the Biden administration. Cryptocurrencies are vehicles for criminal activity and naked speculation--nothing more, nothing less. Having a minion of King Dotard II saying otherwise presents a significant risk to how Americans view crypto. The US Government should not be any less restrictive than it is now...

#2 Legallydead If everyone does as you say and buys up gold, gold will be worthless. Now as far as crytpo is concerned if you invest in crypto, all I can say is "A fool and his money are soon parted."
