New to crypto investing here. Looking to buy 3-5 coins to DCA and hold long term. Curious to get thoughts from those that aren’t trying to get rich quick but more so using crypto as a way to hedge, diversify, and potentially grow wealth.

Looking at: BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA.

1. What else should I add? Any to remove?
2. I’m looking to put no more than 5k into crypto. Thoughts on Lump Sum vs DCA given current market conditions?
3. What % breakdown is ideal for long term investing for coins above?

I'd be comfortable with a lump sum in index funds, but not crypto. Way too volatile. DCA into crypto. I recommend concentrating on BTC and ETH to start. SOL seems promising too. Idk about ADA...

I recommend dumping your 5k into a stablecoin (e.g. USDC on voyager for 9% interest; happy to provide a referral). Then over whatever time frame you are thinking, sell USDC for your desired coin every week/month. This is what I'm currently doing and the 9% is a nice plus compared to if I had left that lump sum in a bank account instead.

In theory you could, and I know there are people that do. But it is not insured so there is risk there unlike an FDIC insured account. Up to you if you are willing to take that risk. The money I have in USDC is an amount I am willing to lose.

We have similar investment goals. BTC and ETH are 90+% of my crypto holdings.

I DCA with 70% of the money allocated to crypto. Then buy FUD, sell greed with the other 30% because I thought I might as well play some volatility too. To track FUD/greed, I simply use the Bitcoin fear and greed index and Ethereum fear and greed index twitter accounts.

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
