Lot's of people are going to own bitcoin whether they deserve it or not.

$MU coiling for a breakout. The volume increase Friday is a good sign

Any thoughts on Quantum computing stocks: IONQ, RGTI, QUBT, QBTS?

I expect IONQ to re-test the $20 area. That could be a buying spot for a trip to $44. If it can't get back below $28 before moving up strongly, $44 might happen sooner.

what are y'all investing in that is outperforming BTC or MSTR

Atleast ytd - APP has done much better than those two.

nvm, AppLovin looks great

I'm a buyer of ionq if we can get a pullback around $18-$22

I owned IONQ and QBTS back in September when they were priced around $7 and $1. Decided it was too early. Ouch

Im interested to see what MSTR does at the open with a new ATH and QQQ

Been moving abit overnight https://robinhood.com/us/en/stocks/MSTR/

They aren't and when they finally decide to gain exposure it won't be due recognizing it's value, it will be because it's on the balance sheets of companies they bought.

Anyone in etf bito? Thoughts? Seems to have a pretty good div

Care to add any helpful input or just snark?

There are at least two threads regarding the topic. If you were interested or curious you would already know.

Here's one viewpoint for those that don't monitor Bitcoin news.

The US is gearing up to massively boost the market cap of Bitcoin, similar to what happened to oil in 1973 when it surged 400%.

"What that oil price did by moving up that way was it effectively made oil big enough to back the dollar, to back the US deficits.
Elevating Bitcoin as a neutral reserve asset will allow the US to finance the re-establishment of its industries for national defense without making Americans poor.

"The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee report has a chart: here's the market cap of crypto, here's the market cap of stablecoins, here's how many T-bills stablecoins have bought, and it's linear. That's how they're looking at it…

When you think about it that way in the context of political stability issues that you need to address, the national defense issues you need to address, the game theory is turned on its head.

Treasury [Department] is talking about how to use stablecoins to create a balance sheet basically for T-bills to finance deficits. Paul Ryan, former speaker of the House [and] VP candidate, [wrote an] op-ed about how stablecoins could be used to create demand for T-bills. Trump saying Bitcoin is the new oil, reportedly, [and] the strategic [Bitcoin] reserve."


So, again, what stock has outperformed BTC in the past 3-6 months? 6-12 months? For non believers, you could have invested in Aug (<$59k) as a high risk short term play or back in Dec 2023 (<$43.5k).
Many people within the industry, and some from TradFi, think BTC hits $250k in 2025.

Some people got in fairly early (me when BTC was ~ $8k) and others have the means to catch up in one trade (non-lol poors). You believe in it as a store of value/hedge against inflation, or you see it as a volatility play, or you don't see it.
Who cares? Best of luck to all our portfolios in 2025.

I believe PLTR has outperformed.

Today might be the day

$MU premarket pop

SOXL really doing its thing now.

I'm selling my $MU here and will buy it back later today on pullback.

Wow, really? All of your shares?

Still looking for it in the $120s by year end possibly?

I had sold mine earlier, so missed another dollar or two. But was looking at the pullback as well

I think we could see $125+ Thursday.

I'm starting to dabble in an IBKR account and following this thread. I entered MU last week and exited this morning for ~$10/share gain based on suggestions here. Thanks!

What price are you looking for to re-enter MU today?

I don't have a set price target, I'm letting the 5m RSI & MACD dictate my sells and buys. It crossed 80 RSI and flashed red, thus I sold it. I'm just waiting for it to show me a re-entry point. Imo, MU will give multiple opportunities on the 5m today - Wednesday to swing trade it.
