My dad surprised me by supporting my BTC purchases.

I was talking to my dad today and I told him about the anxiety I was feeling watching my bitcoin investment (a modest amount) drop in value. I assumed he was going to tell me how stupid I was for buying in to something dumb and wasting my money, but he totally surprised me.

"No good investment goes straight up all the time, just put it away, stop checking the value and check in on it in a few years. That stuff is future."

It 100% caught me off guard that my very conservative 56 year old father would ever say something like that, and he is absolutely correct. This is an investment in the future of currency, not a day trading scheme to me.

It was a good reminder.

Edit: thank you, didn't realize I shouldn't disclose

Not ready to go public? That’s the perfect time to think about going public

Image
The disastrous failure of WeWork’s non-IPO provided not just a dramatic crash-and-burn spectacle, but also a valuable cautionary tale about how not to do an IPO.  Even if your company is not ready to go public at the moment, if there may be an IPO in your future, things go more smoothly for companies that begin the work well in advance.  As a financial manager who consults for public and soon-to-be-public companies, I’ve worked with organizations traveling along a well-planned path, and those with an IPO date looming and management panicking. Here’s what I’ve learned in the process.  Have a business plan that demonstrates a path to profitability The first tech boom clearly demonstrated the folly of having an IPO with nothing more than “a good idea.”  Now, especially after several high-profile IPO failures, investor sentiment has swung to favor companies that demonstrate a solid growth history and a clear path to profitability.
