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

Bitcoin Dominance Is Days Away From Triggering A 30% Rally Against Alts

Image
Bitcoin smashing through $12,000 gave the cryptocurrency enough momentum and energy to take out $13,000 and revisit last year’s highs . But while it did so, it caused altcoins like Ethereum, Chainlink, and dozens more to bleed out relative to BTC. It has left alts in a precarious position, potentially about to be left for dead by Bitcoin dominance and a possible 30% rally from here. Remember The Once In A Lifetime Altcoin Season And Bitcoin’s All-Time High Bitcoin first arrived after the Great Recession of 2008. Within a few years, the underlying technology itself took new life in the form of altcoins, many designed to improve upon the original cryptocurrency in some way. Ethereum added smart contracts, while Litecoin sought to improve speed and loosen up the tight supply slightly. Others were created to solve scalability.
