Hi All, I'm a complete newbie here on H1b.

Are we allowed to buy or trade stocks and crypto currency on h1b..?

For people who dont currently own a lot of crypto, what is your crypto portfolio goal?

For me, if I can own 2 bitcoins and 10 ethereums (and small bit of others) over the next few years, then I think I’ll be set.

Never thought this was actually possible, but wife and I just hit $2m household net worth! We both are ex consultants now in tech few months before we turn 30. While we certainly worked hard, this has also made me realize the immense privilege and luck that is involved in hitting these crazy milestones. We cleared 500k HHI last year and are on track for 600k HHI this year. We're 95% invested (stocks + RE) so hoping for continued snowballing. Thanks for the amazing community here! 💖
