After some thought, I bought $500 in Forever Stamps. In the end, I think that will be a far better investment. wasn’t this the original Ponzi scheme? I think it was ponzi claiming he could buy stamps overseas cheaper and sell them here for a profit or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link that Jauronimo posted is a good read. The one thing Crypto shares with Ponzi, those that got in early mostly made out ok. Those that got in at or after the peak, not so much. In the end the value of anything is what you can get for it. That applies to Crypto, stocks, housing, classic cars, beany babies, baseball cards, etc. I forgot, the Greenback.

Those that got in at or after the peak, not so much. My first crypto purchase was in October 2020. I have continued to purchase XRP and XLM since that time. There is still time to buy into those assets and make money from them. But this is not the "buy today, sell next week" kind of trading. It takes some patience to wait for the market to change. When things change, it will be dramatic. If you believe in Forbes, here is an article on Ripple/XRP. Forbes article on Ripple (XRP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poleshifter Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 If you have invested in Ethereum, you may want to read these articles. Ethereum staking ban? SEC overshadows shanghai hard fork With the SEC going after Staking, the Ethereum Shanghai Hard Fork Upgrade (due on March 20) might not be good news as originally hoped. If the Seven Siblings is activated on Ethereum, this major sell off will crash the price badly. If you want a good alternative to ETH, Stellar Lumens (XLM) would be a wise choice, even though some posters like to give me grief about it. Why Stellar Lumens?
