How many FIRE people here have Bitcoin? Curious if it’s been an engine of meaningful growth for any of you, or a small part of your portfolios.

<1%… holding what I bought way before I decided to pursue FIRE.

.36% of my portfolio, just for fun. It’s quadrupled in value, and still that small amount

I made and subsequently lost a few thousand with the Voyager bankruptcy and effectively forced liquidation at 2022 lows. I now just have a little exposure through an ETF but don't plan to add any more. Less than a tenth of a % of NW.

I’ve had a some on-and-off since 2021 or so. Never probably never more than 1-2% of my portfolio and it’s been less than 0.5% for a while.

It’s doesn’t pay dividends which is generally my issue with currency investing especially one this risky. Quite a gamble

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

For any real estate investors

22 years old and currently focused on using my left over income to invest and pay off my debt. I am set to pay off my college loans by next year and, when I do, I want to look into investing into real estate. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into/learn more about real estate investing? Or how I can have enough knowledge on the topic to be able to invest wisely when the time comes?

Any books? youtubers? etc. How did you all learn about it?

For the past 2-3 years, I have obsessively tracked my net worth/income trends/investment performance over time. I checked my trends just now, and OMG I hit the 300k net worth mark right around Christmas. I guess I haven’t looked at my dashboard for a month. This feels so cool. I want to shout it from the roof! I can’t really brag about this to my friends, so I’m sharing here! 🎉 🎉
