Idk something like 50/50 with VT makes sense to diversify with tradFi. I think though Bitcoin is not as risky as equities in general so meh, kinda just blunts returns imo.
So you would feel comfortable with say: $80,000 annual expenses, inclusive of most 'unexpected costs' * $2MM in assets: $160k HYSA | 19.4 BTC ($1.8MM) Annual expenses picked just to make the math easy. Yeah, this actually sounds about right. Personally, as much as I believe in Bitcoin I'd want a sizeable stock portfolio, say: * $2MM in assets: $80k HYSA | 10 BTC ($950k) | $970k VT (total world stock ETF) All Bitcoin in retirement is just 'win more' at the cost of risk.
I have bitcoin and etfs in my tax free savings account nasdaq 100 (STXNDQ Which is basically qqq) and total world 10x (which is similar to VT) I've been on this for a while like 2 years now
Stocks are much less risky and easy. You could probably get investing in the stock market in a day. Just buy and hold a broad market fund like VT and chillz it will grow over time, especially if you keep adding to your investment regularly. Companies have earning growth which generally supports the growth in the stock market. Crypto is purely speculative, gambling, not investing. Your odds are more certain playing at the casino. Crypto tokens are not companies. There's no sales & earnings growth. Crypto go up, crypto go down.
Chances are if you put money in sometime in the last three years and you held til today, you made money. I believe in diversification tho. Put a good chunk in VT or something similar too.
Torsades is more of a "hurricane" type pattern than a regular ventricular rhythm and if you count R-R pretending this is a 6 second strip it would be 90 bpm so not SVT. I guess the closest thing is a 9 beat run of VT that will eventually go back to NSR or frequent PVCs. Either way this is a hallmark shit coin 😅
----- Not financial advice. Simply my own path. ----- Have you read the Bitcoin Whitepaper or a book called Broken Money, or even better (and this one was ahead of its time) The Bitcoin Standard? I definitely recommend all three. If you don't agree with the fundamentals of what Satoshi was aiming for, that's okay. But I've dedicated the last 6+ years to understanding (to the best of my ability) why he created Bitcoin, and I enjoy reading things that elucidate these views and in fact the opinions of detractors. But unfortunately it is the detractors that sort of kept one of my feet inside the world of fiat for far too long. It's my own choice and fault at the end of the day, but the amount of FUD you'll find on almost every single non-crypto financial subreddit is staggering. Mostly because it is all wrong. Objectively. Time will prove this. I recently saw a redditor write that "People will buy Bitcoin at the price they deserve" a few days ago, and it is one of the most poignant things I've ever read on the topic. And one of the most truly accurate. Yeah, I've made good money with LETFs and VT has been kind to me. But had I just put my money in Bitcoin instead of messing around with that stuff, I would have made more money than I'm prepared to admit. And to be honest, money isn't massively important to me on a personal level. I am certainly not happier because I can pay my bills. I simply grew up very poor, but l knew I had the ability to turn $ into $ if I dedicated enough time to learning on my own. Never did I think it would come to turning $ into BTC. And never did I think I'd come to see BTC as a true asset - one that could and has changed my life and the lives of so many others. I will continue on this path and try to leave as much of it behind as possible when I'm gone, and help ppl along the way while I'm here; living life under a true Bitcoin standard as soon as possible. So there is no second or third best option. There are just.. other options. And because BTC ETFs are a thing, they are viable options to protect against the unthinkable (lost keys). Again, not financial advice here, just a portion of my own path - *Pay down debts and build an emergency fund (6-12 months of salary) with a HYSA. DCA into BTC ETF(s). *Get marketplace insurance with a high enough deductible / use employer options to have a HSA and DCA into that with the aforementioned method. *Repeat the previous step with earned income into a Roth IRA. *If self employed, repeat previous step via solo 401k and/or SEP IRA. *If fortunate enough to be able to do all of this at once, good times. Obviously, IMO, utilizing actual BTC above all other methods is the most important one. But those are some other options to consider. Definitely not better, but helpful as hedges. They're definitely not in line with what BTC is all about, either. Or don't do any of that and hope that fiat doesn't continue to lose buying power and that BTC doesn't become the world's financial standard. I just suggest reading some things and taking a good look into - and understanding - Bitcoin before it's too late. These first 16 years will be dwarfed by the growth of the next 8. But I'm just a dude on the Internet. I would be looked at as a space lizard if I said this to almost anyone I know. And have been, lol. I wouldn't bother writing any of this outside of a Bitcoin forum, either. Most people will tell you it's all speculation. And I mean, speculation isn't necessarily bad. Diversification isn't either, especially if you're already at the point at which you do not at all worry about your finances. ----- Again, I repeat, this isn't financial advice. This is a version of my story. Do your own due diligence. -----
Nice to read someone else doing the same as me (VT instead of VOO)
Longterm the best investment is BTC and VT.
You don’t need gold for electronics. https://www.quora.com/Can-other-materials-replace-gold-in-electronics BTC, VT, money market is all you need. Gold is useless.
Still don’t care about gold. If I needed a hedge I’d put it in VT or money market.
VT down 6% and MSTR up 4% Never thought BTC/MSTR would be the ones to stabilize my portfolio.
10% crypto, 10% cash, 20% fixed interest fund, 40% VT, 20% something
Well, you are asking for bias opinion here. Of course people will say Bitcoin instead of VT.
I dont know what you mean by saying "VT". I dont like etfs and stock market . For me the best is btc on my cold storage.
I pulled the trigger on early retirement in Feb. Massively reduced risk exposure and took profits before that, going from 10% crypto to 2% now. Reduced stocks from 40% to 25%, and it's all in VT. 25% cash now. Have enough inflation-protected bonds to cover cost of living until 2040. So lots of dry powder to buy up things on the cheap if that's what happens.
It’s good to diversify. No matter how much conviction you have ultimately nobody can predict the future. I hold VT and FBTC at around 70/30. May add some GLD as well.
I would add some global exposure. VT for index exposure.
I'm about 30% BTC and the rest well diversified stock index funds. Mainly VT. I don't wanna go full USA.
Half in VT, half in Bitcoin. Don't touch for 20 years
Do 10% Bitcoin or something. Do 70% VT, 10% gold, and 20% BNDW for the rest, or some such split. IAUM is a good gold etf.
Index funds. Buy VT and something tracking the S&P and enjoy the returns without much risk.
VT is world Vti is US only Vxus is excluding US
VT is the total world stock ETF from Vanguard. Quality long term hold.
What’s VT? You bitcoin allocation seems ridiculously low
Honestly, I would put enough money in it for you to become rich if it 100x but not all of it. There is no garantee Bitcoin has any vakue in 10 years. But there will probably be a world (VT) and US (VOO) economy
I invest about 20% of net worth in crypto. I suggest, Invest 80% VT or VTI, 20% BTC. Normalize risk and rewards. Given it’s for education and your daughter is already 9 yrs old, it’s just enough contribution for BTC to make it grow enough and it makes sense to not over risk it. If it’s your free money, you can go more or yolo on BTC. Just my two cents.
I would go 70% ETF (VOO or VT) and 30% bitcoin.
Totally understandable and I didn't get it until I had already missed out for over a decade. Here's the basic idea: A Roth IRA a type of retirement account where you put money into it that has already been taxed (your paycheck where taxes and everything has already been deducted), and later when you go to use that money at retirement age none of it is taxed. All the gains you made over your lifetime is entirely yours and doesn't go to Uncle Sam. There are limits to the amount of money you can contribute each year, and if you skip a bunch of years those are missed opportunities. You can't just go "oh crap" when you turn 40 and try to stuff a bunch of money into it for previous years. If you've never spent time with a compounding interest calculator, I'll tell you the gains can be quite surprising. The contribution limit is currently $7000 per year, or about $583/month if you're doing it consistently throughout the year. Ideally you don't touch that money until you retire but you can withdraw some early without paying any penalty if you use the money for higher education or for the purchase of your first home. For every dollar you put into it, you can technically pull that out (not the gains) without penalty but note that you'd still be subject to the contribution limits if you tried to put some back later. If you withdraw a bunch early and was more than you deposited (pulling gains), you'll pay a penalty for it. As for VTI, VT, VOO - these are tickers assigned to index funds called ETFs. You buy them kind of like shares of a stock, but instead of your money being invested in a single company that can go tits up, that money is essentially allocated to little pieces of lots of different companies. Different ETFs track different companies and market sectors. In the case of IBIT, it tracks with the price of Bitcoin because the fund manager has to buy/sell Bitcoin accordingly as investors buy/sell shares of the ETF. Opening an account with something like Robinhood might make all of that more approachable. It's controversial advice because a lot of people have a beef with Robinhood. I wouldn't go there to day trade, but to simply the process of buying and holding assets long term, they make it really easy to buy and sell ETFs, stocks, etc, and whatever miniscule price differences you likely miss out on in that moment are inconsequential at the time scale you're investing. Just know that, if you are buying and selling Bitcoin and the like outside of a Roth, you are subject to capital gains tax for every transaction and it's a real pain.
A majority of people making plays for 10x or 1000x lose money. Nobody has a secret, they just get lucky. They may think they know things and assign all kinds of technical analysis to their guesswork at the future, but it’s a gamble. Choose an amount of money you can live without and invest it., and plan to not touch it for a long time. You should be aiming to max your Roth IRA contributions each year first. Most of your invested dollars should be diversified, so go with an index like VT or VTI, maybe VOO. You can allocate a small percentage to something like IBIT if you wish to get some of the gains from Bitcoin. Anything beyond that you can play with Bitcoin and similar, just don’t put money into it you can’t stand to lose. I have Bitcoin and love it as much as the next person on this sub, and I don’t care if I get downvoted for this. Time in the market beats timing the market, and at your age you have plenty of time.
Lol if you want to be a normie with a measly 8% yearly return you can literally replace Dave Ramsay with 2 letters: VT.
500k in VT and a small emergency fund in SGOV. Everything else and all future savings in IBIT and MSTR.
YouTube is hearing us. It just recommended this video 😅 https://youtu.be/3Aj_EHOu9WE?si=A2DQpco9xk2VT8LS
He should invest most of it in the stock market, something like VT which covers the whole stock market or in the S&P 500 (VOO). And then use like 5k for crypto, bitcoin is pretty safe but I think DCA is a better idea specifically because we are in a bull right now he might invest now and see red for a long while in crypto winter.
Best bet is to invest in VT and just chill. There is a chart about how much you should invest in crypto by percentage based on your belief in it. If you are one hundred percent believing in it, even then, the recommendation is like 8% of your total portfolio
This is one of the most retarded things I have seen in my life. Passive index fund investing exists, bonds exist, etc. The boglegead motto is literally VT and chill, you don't have to do anything or know anything.
I don't have any Tech specific ETF's. Rather I'm holding the total market which already has Tech in it. My total portfolio has about 42% VT, 42%, AVGV for the ETF's, and 15% in 3 other stocks, including the 5% bitcoin.
Forget stock picking. If you want stocks you grab VTI, VT, and VOO.
About 75% into VOO and VT. The rest I would probably put into high yield dividend stocks to collect monthly payments.
For me it's adding more to my stock portfolio, particular VOO and VT, so that during the crypto bear market, I can keep growing my money and collect a few $100s in dividends monthly.
Sometimes I feel I should just sell off my entire VT holding and go all in on IBIT.
Bitcoin is good, but so is VT for your stock exposure. The best thing to avoid mutual fund fees is an etf, as mutual funds never beat the static index.
Meh... Why are you assuming that people who are selling BTC are holding on fiat? I think it's perfectly fine to have a fixed allocation of your portfolio to BTC, whether you choose it to be 10%, 50%, our 90%. But that implies that whenever you rebalance, if BTC went up, you will sell some BTC and buy whatever the rest of your portfolio is (VT, gold, Nasdaq, whatever the fuck). Personally I'm 80% BTC and 20% XDEQ, so yes I am selling BTC and buying XDEQ currently, but on the next BTC bear market I will be selling XDEQ and buying BTC. Tell me why this is wrong?
I'd choose a percent of your total portfolio. In my opinion you still want diversity, so you should be buying VT too. Going all in is for gamblers.
Realistically, investing in the stock market like $VT or real estate (renting out a property).
The advice I give is VT. Bogleheads is normie advice that can't fail over the long term.
If you just buy spot btc (not leveraged on margin or futures) you can't be margin called. Just like simply buying VT in your retirement account.
MicroStrategy is receiving index allocations from almost every ETF provider including Vanguard in its VT etf.
Just buy VT, and a small percent portion of Bitcoin.
When I got a new job I used half of my 401k from the old job for Bitcoin ($FBTC) and coinbase stock. Those funds came from Roth 401k so they are in my Roth IRA now. I'm confident in Bitcoin long-term and that coinbase will continue to be a major software platform in the United States and worldwide. The other half from my old 401k I put into 90% $VTI & 10% $VT in a Rollover IRA. This is my safer investment of total stock market index and total world market index. Also I contribute to my new 401k which I'm able to use to purchase: 45% VTI, 45% VIG, 10% $IBIT. This account is basically 90% safer investments and continuing to add 10% Bitcoin products. If Bitcoin takes a big dip which it occasionally does, then I can borrow from the 90% and add to the Bitcoin products. I buy Bitcoin from my paycheck with 5% of my pay separately from my tax advantage accounts.
Why would you ever go all in on anything. I'd say cap Bitcoin at 25%, and buy low fee globally diverse etf for the rest, VT/ADVD/AVUV. Stocks are also a hedge against inflation.
Oh boy. This is the mindset that gets you nuked. Not that you will listen but I'd encourage someone with a significant win-fall concentration in BTC to look at something along the lines of a long term portfolio consisting of roughly 75% VT, 12% VGIT, 3% SGOV, 8% IBIT (or physical coin), and 2% IAUM (or physical bullion). You do you though. YOLO, I guess.
Don't do 100% Bitcoin. Also buy some VT; or some split of VT/AVUV/ADVD if you want added risk premium.
There's no point, just buy a diversified index like VT and you gain real estate exposure. Its not worth being a separate asset class because all you add is volatility to your portfolio.
Maybe do some VT as well, since its the second best asset next to BTC; as its low fee, globally diverse, and auto-rebalancing.
I think 100% investments are unwise. I would consider some VT etf as well.
Sure you are. Why do you spam every stock-related subreddit with the same copy-pasted paragraph? There is something more going on. If youre not lying, simply buy bitcoin and dont trade it. With stocks, buy VTI or VT and dont trade if you dont understand anything…
This is exactly what I’m doing. Except VT instead of SP500.
I have one maxed with VT and QQQM about 7k in each
HURRR just buy VT and chill. Don't invest more than you are willing to lose!! Bitcoin is a scam! 60/40 stocks and bonds! It is just room temp IQ takes on those subreddits. Those people will never become wealthy.
Well im still adding bitcoin etfs in my Roth, along with VT. I do 50% VT 40% BRRR and 10% is my discretion. Right now that 10% is UEC.
Gold and silver are not investments, think of them more as currencies that aren't effected by inflation. If you can invest over time you should open a Roth IRA, a tax free retirement account, and start contributing to that first of all. Low cost total market index funds are the best choice, VT is a good one. You can technically buy bitcoin through the IRA as well although keep in mind you can't take it out until you're ready to retire.
99% confident in BTC. But I split my investments between VT and BTC so I'm not stressed out whenever BTC takes a big dip.
After 7 years of research and watching what's happened I'm fairly confident. Not VT confident but, enough that I'm still buying at times and raising my cost basis. I have some concerns over Satoshi. I have some concerns over ETFs although they will probably be positive overall. I have some concerns with self custody and some with exchanges. Like I said, not VT confident.
It’s going higher and higher in Bitcoin. I had bonds and any of those that were still in the green I sold into Bitcoin. Sadly lots are red. The rest is VT.
Sell everything you have and invest in an etf like VTI or VT, then sleep at night.
Yen carry trade the Mrs Watanabe made need to unwind since the BOJ is going to raise rates. Who knows what is going to break. Then there was also bad employment data in the US last week that came out a couple days after the Fed held rates the same. Watch the price of VT today to see how much the world market has been impacted (it is an index ETF that broadly tracks the world stock market).
This is true for any asset, not just Bitcoin. You should define an allocation strategy, for instance 69% bitcoin, 31% VT or whatever the fuck you want. The important part is that you should regularly rebalance to stick with the strategy. So if any asset you own goes x4 overnight, obviously you should sell it and rebalance your portfolio.
If you want want high upside and are okay with taking on high risk (aka high likelihood you’ll lose it all) then put it on another meme coin. If you want to bask in your luck and profits, but still want a little upside with less risk then bitcoin is the answer. If you want to make sure your profits are still around in 10-20 years, while also growing your wealth 8-10% per year on average at low risk, then VT, VTI or VOO will do it for you. If you go all in and put it into something high risk and you fail, please learn from it. Everyone screws up big at some point but for 90% of us it’s made us smarter. Don’t be that 10% that goes bankrupt chasing your money or shooting for the moon on each investment/gamble.
I did. I still have tax deferred in VT and bonds. But I pushed a lot into BTC. I would do more but my wife is skeptical so this was a middle compromise. I suspect that BTC is going to taper off in growth but I have been tired of the stock market casino even though a s and p killed this year.
I've been buying every month. What is your second option? SPX? VT?
Is that 70% into individual stocks? If so, I would get rid of that and move them into an index fund with a low expense ratio like Vanguard VTI or VT.
[Monte's Restaurant](https://maps.app.goo.gl/PY5scQ1VT1WtmbbH6) I love all kinds of pizza. I have had it all over the world. This was the worst one that I have ever had. Bland sauce, the crust shattered when you bit it, super low quality cheese. Everything about it was bad. Second worst was a Sbarro in Italy. We got off a plane and were starving and it was the only option where we were. They were just shoveling slop out to tourist and did not give a shit. I don't mind Sbarro at all typically, this place was just not even trying.
People selling out of one ETF would likely need to set aside money for capital gains. They may also decide to de-risk and reinvest in something like VT or whatever their index of choice is.
I appreciate you! I’ll look into VT/QQQ/IBIT :) Fairly ignorant as far as investing goes outside of BTC
I appreciate you! I’ll look into VT/QQQ/IBIT :)
I don't recommend this unless you have a very secure safe. Gold and silver are easily stolen. Secure safes are not cheap. If you don't own your home or have a parents home to put a full size, fireproof safe, don't invest in precious metals. You're young enough that maxing out your IRA over the next 10-20 years (along with accumulating BTC) is going to serve you very well. Make it simple: buy VT. I also hold QQQ and IBIT, but really, between BTC in cold storage and VT over 20 years, you're going to be one of the few from your generation who is actual able to retire.
The top countries for VT are US (62%), Japan (6.3%), UK (3.5%), and on until we get to China at 2.5%. Yeah, still gonna get rekt when the US economy goes poof. I don't really expect someone that has an investment thesis of "number go up in past; number always go up" to go that in depth into what they actually invest in, though.
LOL okay. You provided reasons why you don’t think the US stock market will perform well going forward. Even if that is true, I told you that there are stock markets across the world, and a well diversified portfolio will not just own US stocks, but invest in a total world stock market fund like VT.
If you DCA’d into it you wouldn’t be that bad off. And anyways this is why I recommend not just investing in your country’s stock market, but a globally diversified index fund like VT.
It’s too early. When bear market comes along there is always new narrative and new thing that would pump hard, usually high performers this cycle will not be the high performers in the next one, also seems like every crypto bull cycle they certainly won’t pump as hard in terms of % as market cap is higher and industry maturing. During 2017 alt season, it was kind of short but so many alts pumped 10x within a month, during 2021 alt season many alts pump 10x within few months. This cycle seems like most alts ain’t pumping nearly as hard. Solana pumping 20x from lows within half a year seems a lot in this cycle, however compared to the 2021 one, so many alts did that within a few months, picking big winners is only going to get riskier and harder as crypto matured and overall mcap goes higher. Next bear cycle comes then just deploy your money into top 20 coins evenly and just hold. Basically like buying etf. Should be good enough for you to beat VT and VTI returns for a few years at least.
Yeah, but buy with as small a deposit and long a term as you can get away with/feel comfortable with. Seems likely that over 30 years you’ll make more off the bitcoin you didn’t sell than the additional interest (particularly considering inflation). If you want to de-risk it a take some of the bitcoin (that you would otherwise use for your deposit) and put it a 60/40 VT/BND stock portfolio for a bit of diversification. That will lessen the risk that bitcoin crashes while you lose your job and can’t make mortgage payments.
I took a little bit of profits as well but not nearly as much as previous cycle, seems like risk of holding anything is getting higher and higher anyway, when I take profit, either i buy VT or a bit of tsla stock. However seems like I'll just hold most of it this time unless crypto truly going to absolutely maniac cycle, like btc above 200k or most of the alts 3x from here. Investing now has become which asset class is less bad and almost all asset value is backed by printed money anyway.
No, I didn’t. The S&P isn’t going to zero short of absolute Armageddon or a communist takeover of the United States while there are many scenarios where Bitcoin never takes off and fades away to irrelevance, etc. No, I don’t think those scenarios are likely, either, but they’re much greater than the chance of the US stock market disintegrating. And nevermind a total world stock market fund like VT.
Doesn't matter if people care to allocate Bitcoin to their portfolio. What matters is that fund managers do it. Most people just trust their financial advisor, or they'll buy into some generic index fund like VT\*\*X that they'll ride until retirement. Even right now the typical recommendation is to have a little crypto in a diversified portfolio. 5% is considered maximum as it's "too volatile", but 1-3% is considered reasonable. The higher Bitcoin goes, the stabler it becomes, and the easier it is for fund managers to integrate it into the normie indexes. And once it's in the indexed retirement funds, people will be investing in Bitcoin whether they care or not. Unless Bitcoin is supplanted by another technology (and I don't see that happening considering the fragmented shitshow that have become "alt" coins), it will be worth over half a mil in a decade. There's just no way around it.
Not sure if you want a real answer but here you go. 10k being what here? All of your long term savings? Your savings and day to day money? If it's the latter it's a bad idea. If it's the former it's also a bad idea to throw all of it into one thing. Assuming it's your long term investment money (BTC is NOT a get rich quick option), invest 2-3k into BTC now, put the rest into a Roth IRA and buy VT. Then setup to buy BTC weekly or daily (amount depending on your income) and also continue to invest in your IRA. This will setup a sure thing retirement wise (VT) and expose you to BTC in a way that allows you to gain if it continues to spike and also gain if tanks down.
