U shouldn’t be under tax bracket already after 50k standard deduction and HRA. Anyway if ur not claiming HRA, u can use 80C. If you consider inflation, FD for 5 years(minimum requirement for tax saving) will give you negative returns. The best way of using 80C is elss for tax saving, locking time is minimum 3 years and return is good. Take any tax saving elss long term MF. Also considering ur pay, I assume ur age is low, buy a term insurance for you ASAP and u can claim under 80C

After listening to the Mike Saylor podcast with Lex Friedman, it made me reconsider my notions I had about BTC layer 2. IMO ETH has thoroughly eaten BTC’s lunch from a development/dapp perspective. I’m 50/50 allocated in both because as Mike says BTC is durable digital property while I see ETH as the platform for application functionality. Would be interested to hear other’s takes. At the core of it, I’m not sure myself and others will ever want to spend BTC, even if fees were negligible.
