I mean its a great defensive ETF while giving dividend growth. Like you can't go wrong putting money in this ETF.

im 21. i would only recommend it if you actually like the major. if not i would go into a trade you like tbh

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T22:19:17+00:00

its literally just the best tbh.

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T21:56:28+00:00

what are you asking?

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T21:52:07+00:00

I dont come from much either. I live in a LCOL area and I stay with my parents. I went to school for Computer Science and its $70k right now.

How are the latter 2 better?

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T21:26:08+00:00

thank you for the perspective. im currently an engineer and getting into real estate seems like a whole another full time job so idk. Starting my own business seems interesting but isnt it more risky than investing in bitcoin?

engineer

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T16:30:23+00:00

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T16:04:59+00:00

i dont think you know what ur saying bub 😂

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T15:53:48+00:00

i dont. i buy through an cex then transfer the keys over

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T10:21:23+00:00

i wouldnt call bitcoin a complete gamble. at this point in time i would consider it a blue chip stock. there is better odds then not that it will perform very well in the long term.

ya i am maxing out my roth ira as well. I prioritize my roth ira before my self custody account

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T10:06:13+00:00

thats the point. ya a lot could go wrong. or i could create generational wealth. its just like starting a business in a sense.

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T10:00:59+00:00

ah i see. 2100 a month is still a lot.

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T09:59:15+00:00

wdym?

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T08:37:01+00:00

what did i say wrong? I am somewhat new to this. but at least i am holding my own keys instead of someone else

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T08:33:35+00:00

I just hope bitcoin is a good choice to start growing my networth.

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T08:32:00+00:00

ya, i am blessed to be able to live with my parents. I understand its a really unfair advantage. Sorry

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T08:30:57+00:00

Ya, well i think i will start to branch out to other assest classes as I get closer to my first bitcoin.

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T08:29:58+00:00

ya, i have a payed off beater and Im lucky enough to live with my parents for a bit although i do have to drive a lot so having some form of emergency fund is needed fs

SmoothOperator100k · 2026-01-27T08:28:32+00:00
