What the fuck is up with Uber running an ad campaign asking if I would like to get a ride somewhere? Have they considered that I use their other service so much because I don't want to leave my home?

One of the Forbes articles' comments: Poster calls out crypto scams. The reply from user "Dave D" says:

"The story and Musk's comments are facts. The debt is unsustainable. Wildly. Thinking otherwise is appalling hubris.

Bitcoin is wealth-transfer. Either believe or get left behind."

What???

But it's moving so FAST. You turn away from this asset for an hour it went up 10%, and some of the dips in price have been DEEP.

Look at this graph. (A finance person is squirming because they call them charts.)

At approximately 12:15 AM, DOGE price surges. By 12:30 AM, all of those gains? Gone.

When will that happen? I have NO IDEA. This is actually why I'm awake past 3 AM when I was up yesterday at 8 to do pre-market research, eat breakfast, and settle in for a trading day.

Instead of sleep, I keep watching this line. I know I don't have to. I could set stops to auto-sell.

Next day, Bitcoin rips up almost $6300.

DOGE looks similar. Those gains are ridiculous. Each bar ("candlestick") is a 1 day interval. These are beautiful charts for a trader OR a long-term investor. If this were a stock, I would be watching for an entry dip and buying.

Then I watch for an exit.

That's just a screengrab of part of my portfolio history, sorry for not fitting in alt text.

I made my first DOGE purchase on 11/8. I did this because all of the hype about Bitcoin during the election cycle. On 11/5--election day--Bitcoin closed $1500 above the previous day's high. Not too weird.

Anyway, I got into crypto because I was in Japan and I could trade it when US markets were closed. I moved very little crypto around. That's a position worth around $3700. My "realized value" when I sold later that day was about (-$150). I'm sure I could've made more informed entrances and exits.
