New to this Bowl and topic. What's the general consensus? Should I invest now (eow)? If so, then where can I find a step by step. Thanks!

Seriously wow. So much vitriol here. Forgive the crowd, we're all butthurt because our crypto portfolios have been stale the last couple weeks. Read the bitcoin whitepaper, maybe watch the banking in bitcoin Netflix documentary, lots of good you tube videos that show the premise of Blockchain. If you think you can get behind it i recommend starting dabbling in BTC and ETH. Coinbase and gdax (same company, Google how to avoid fees by moving funds to gdax). From there you can investigate other alt coins. Read the white papers, know what you're putting your money in and don't put up what you're not willing to lose in entirety. High risk in cryptos but tons of upside. Things are down from their highs in Jun and Jul, but if you're long on cryoto then I think it's a decent time to get in. Good luck!

The Netflix documentary focused more on the mystery behind Satoshi Nakamoto and less of the BTC use case imo. interesting, but there's way better youtube videos that cover "explain Blockchain like I'm 5". Then again when I first got curious I was interested in more of tech side than the macroeconomic impact. Guess I'm a geek like that.

That's fair guys. My bad.

I could see how this would be an annoyance, maybe the app needs a detailed bio / rules (similar to Reddit) that sums that up. If not that then allow the creator to pin particular posts so that it's seen first.

EY1 - nice. The Netflix docu was good.

If your entire portfolio is less than 100k. It doesn't make sense to spend too much time following your investments. Buy some LT holds and work on making more money so that you are adding 100k in cash flow to investments every year. At some point your investments get big enough that an extra 10-20% is HUGE but until then your main worry should be your salary as it's the easiest thing to increase through doing well at work or doing side jobs.

Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.

I just realized I’ll likely have a MAGI of over $124,000 this year and will have to reduce the amount I contribute to my Roth IRA. I don’t know exactly by how much and I’ve already contributed about $1,900 directly through my Roth IRA. Does anyone know if I can still do a backdoor Roth IRA for the remainder of the $6,000? Is there any way to avoid over-contributing to my Roth IRA by the amount I already put in there?

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer. Today she shas asked for one more week to release the offer. Should I wait for it or move on. Are they waiting for some other candidate to join before rejecting me at last moment. Only 10 days of my LWD are left.
