I daytraded mini Russell futures for a living for years. About 5 years ago I retired and pulled all my money. I’m not an investor and just don’t have the stomach for it after daytrading for over 13 years. I pulled a little money out and bought some bitcoin. Figured why not take a chance? Another trader friend that understood it did it all for me. I kind of forgot about it and never even looked at it til the recent mania. 😂
I do a very little bit of trading. It's kind of like playing a board game, just enough to not take it too seriously. I bought 100 shares of block chain about a month ago. When it went up 250%, I sold half of it. So now I have 50 shares and already some profit. I have a crazy-high "sell" limit on it just in case people get really stupid with it, of course. So I figure I'll hold it just to see what happens, since I've already more than broken even.
I don't even know what blockchain is. But this is a company that's buying up stuff to make blockchains which come from bitcoins or whatever.
