Oh, you will hear a ton of options. One need only watch Fox news or Fox business during the day. You would think the end of the world is nigh and gold and silver are the only places to go.

One of the most humorous things is that I put a very, very small (relatively speaking) percentage of my savings into Bitcoin when it was $86. That tiny percentage is now the vast majority of my savings.

I’ve been tapping that (and putting aside uncle sam’s take) and paying everything off. At the current pay off rate, I will be completely free by the end of next June. That is several years earlier than I thought.

And yes...it could fall to zero and that would suck. Except that I’ve been moving equal parts into the stocks and bullion. So, the original amount is there, plus a huge gain.

I call that dumb luck.

And that’s why you will never get very far. If you were much less honest, you’d write a book “How to Become a Bitcoin Billionaire”.

Then you could run late-night infomercials hawking your book, and give $1000 seminars to suckers willing to pay for boiler-plate investment advice.

(Just kidding, of course. Folks who go that route should be in jail. And some, like Kevin Trudeau, actually are in jail.)

Then at least FBN doesn’t act like those clowns at CNBC, who always, ALWAYS, talk up the markets, like they are paid by Wall Street.
