@D1 So does housing, but that was a bubble as well. Just because something has value doesn't mean it's not a bubble.

At least with tulip bulbs, you can still plant it and possibly get a pretty flower!

One of the hallmarks of a bubble is when the best defense against claims it’s getting out of control is that it’s not a bubble.

Regulators are late to the game here and the best we can hope is that the bubble can be burst with minimal collateral damage.

Everyone comparing tulips to cryptocurrencies have no idea what they're talking about

Sure is sour grapes from people who missed out

Oh, those who got out of tulips near the peak certainly must've felt that way, D1. Those who got in then? Not so much.

Thanks for sharing. I just bought more bitcoin!

Right OP, and people have been calling it a bubble since it came out

P1 except cryptocurrencies have real utility and value.

Yeah Google and Facebook were bubbles. Widespread use and adoption does not a bubble make. Cryptocurrencies we're just undervalued all this time. You may argue that Bitcoin is overvalued compared to other more capable cryptos, but the whole markets fine.

Do we all agree that on average, no one makes money on bit coin? For everyone who buys, someone else sells. Just making sure we all understand.

No SM1

...? That’s how it works. Pretty simple, Acc1.

No SM1, that’s only trading.

You’re kidding, right? How else could you make money?

I think I’m being trolled

They gave me the salary for MSW level however, they said they could not tell me what the salary bump for LCSW would be until i have my license number. Is this standard practice for a LCSW position in a clinic?

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.
