    I'm stumbling through trying to buy some crypto thing. My account only allows $50 but I want $300. WWW opened something a couple months ago and tonight I asked him something that we could NEVER ever imagine would come out of my mouth nor be said in our home in a million years.

    "Honey, would you send me some crypto?" :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Fail, neither of us know what we're doing lol but for real he tried for me.

    Another interesting day. I can't spend this money for 20 years so the day to day, or even year to year, doesn't really make any difference to me...but it is fun to watch.

    What is a "Block Chain Community"? I thought it was a virtual internet thing that deals with Bitcoin but obviously not:

    Block chain communities like CityDAO (twitter) who “just elected an inaugural council (all sourced from the community) tasked with drafting our first operating agreement and charter.”? An autonomous zone on 40 acres of land near Clark WY that will apparently have their own govt. operating from out of state?

    I just checked my portfolio…. Edward Jones has not done me any favors in the last year….
    Guess I need to start learning this investment life…
    Can’t keep giving money away.

    Last year wasn't a particularly good year for the markets under commie rule, but generally was good.
    My 401 showed 14% for the year. :confused:
    You talking stocks or retirement ?

    We have 4 different accounts, one for my wife and I and one for each of my three kids. Our lowest producing account came in at just under 30% and our best was at 38%. My friend is an investor so she takes care of everything for us.
