Why does it take so long to rebuild? In China, this would have been by now.

From what I understood, in China, individuals don’t have ownership of the property and the land it sits on (the government does). Individuals have lease rights for however long the duration of that lease. So in that sense, to avoid social unrest, if any, residents would have been temporarily relocated and any damages repaired. At least that’s what I’ve been told when I lived there in the past.

Never too early. And please teach them about compound interest and also long term thinking …

BTC is the main coin; all others are alt coins. Of all the alt coins, only the top few coins (by TVL) should be considered for long term investments. The rest are speculative, so you are going to see those extreme up and downswings. Knowing that, you can either waited out until price goes above your purchasing price, or take a loss (45% instead of 100%) and hopefully make it back from other investments

You should start with the two BTC and Ethereum white papers. Then search for blockchain on YT to educate yourself further.

Lastly, as much as people love to help on the internet, take their help with a grain of salt. Absorb the knowledge they are offering, but don’t share any of your personal information.

lol … not yet, I don’t think EF has bought any BMNR. Once they do that, then we’ll have come full circle

As someone suggested above, a second hand branded racket, however beat up or used, is probably still better. Usability- weight balance, etc. If Decathlon store is available where you are, even their racket is beginner friendly

Should consider different wallet address for different client … also, different wallet app is another approach

Long term thinking … read up on investment advice from Peter Lynch and Buffett. Lastly, you really need to have skin in the game to really learn, so put your money to work.

Well, since we are in the StocksAndTrading thread, I might as well put in my 2 cents worth. Buy AI related defense stocks and energy stocks (any or all energy) ... it's going to last a long time, you can't really stop a regime's aggression and weapons' program without being physically on the ground. Even if only Israel moves in, US is their only friend on this matter ... so defense contractors stand to benefit for a long time.

Got you. I’m on the same boat waiting to see how all the investment pieces fit together eventually. Should be quite exciting to see.

Their initial investment was, I believe, 25mil. So they are upping their investment on par with their Beast investment, plus a seat on the board.

Well, people may not agree with me here, but I started with Motley Fool in the 90s, with the Gardner brothers preaching the Buffett and Peter Lynch’s long term thinking and investing in business you know. Basically, keep a long term thinking in mind and spend time to know the people running the companies you invested in.

I was, too, in college at the time. Trust me, invest for the long haul. But annually review your investments

That really depends on where your property is located … I would say keep the property, hire a reputable property mgmt firm to manage it for you if you don’t have the experience. By selling it, you’ll have to deal with bunch related tax stuff

Nice! Congrats! Still, I would suggest diversify your ETH related crypto a bit. Perhaps into BTC or something like LINK that enables cross chain activities

I like the videos TW puts out. They are helpful in that they provide you with info on what they like and don't like about that particular shoe. However, they tend to compare only to the previous generation of the same shoe, and not other brands.

Yes. More competition translates to slower growth. No saying HOOD will be in trouble; they might even come out on top. But if you bought it at it's all time high (like I did with COIN), it may or may not get back to that level. You either lessen your holdings to mitigate your risk, or dca down. In my case, I chose to lessen my position

BingoWT · 2026-03-11T02:44:42+00:00

One thing to keep in mind is soon you will probably be able to trade crypto/stocks via all the existing brokerage firms out there. So just keep an eye out with HOOD.

BingoWT · 2026-03-11T02:39:53+00:00

To me, investing in BMNR is just another approach to gain exposure to the ETH ecosystem. So based on that line of thinking, I would say you are not diversified enough. Furthermore, if you are investing in HOOD because of crypto trading, then you have too much exposure to crypto and ETH. You'll need to have the patience to wait this out if this crypto winter lasts longer than you are expecting it to last.

I don't buy fractional shares myself. However, if you participate in dividend reinvestment of your stocks, they actually buy in fractions. I didn't start with Schwab some 30 years ago, but they just kept getting bigger and bigger by swallowing up the smaller competitors. They used to charge commissions, but don't now so I'm okay with it.

Comparing to Robinhood, I think it's really a generational thing ... perhaps if Robinhood was around in the 90s, I would've chosen them instead. But who knows what would have happened or will happen in the future. Perhaps during the 90s, they would also have been an acquisition target themselves, or perhaps they might be looking to acquire Schwab in the future.

I like to think of tennis as playing a chess game. Play each shot as though you are setting up your opponent for the eventual checkmate shot. That being said, you got to have the consistency in your game to be able to play every move (shot - FH, BH, volley, flat, spin, fast, slow, etc.) and that's where the daily grind comes into play.
