Thinking about selling off all my Visa, Mastercard, and GLD shares for +0.5% gain, throwing half of it at my already dominate VOO position, and the other half at Bitcoin. Thoughts?

Yikes

Why did you buy those shares in the first place? Why do you want to sell them now?

I'd also avoid bitcoin and anything similar like the plague. After 5 years, the only economic utility that has been delivered is money laundering.

You could argue as the demand for money laundering increases, the price of bitcoin and other cryptos will also appreciate. But I prefer to steer clear of shady business performed by assholes.

What’s wrong with Visa and MC as long-term positions?
