Sometimes One Should Listen to the Younger Brother

If you'll recall, Joey told me to buy Loopring yesterday.  Today it is up almost 40%.  If it does "pop" soon like he said, my chump change investment in it won't make me get rich, but I hope he hits the jackpot and can cash out.

I should probably also mention that ex-hubby's advice to buy Polkadot also has paid off but it's only up by a little under 3%.

Shiba Inu - because I love dogs

I heard Eric mention something about Shiba Inu during lunch later in the week, and being the dog-loving girl that I am, I started looking up more about this crypto.  It was so dang cheap, and yep, cheap is totally within my budget.  I opened a Coinbase Pro account since I can't buy SHIB on Gemini, deposited $700 into my account, bought $200 worth of SHIB coins over the course of a couple of days as I could see it was climbing (this amounted to over 4.5 millions coins), and bought $500 worth of ADA (Cardano). A day later, SHIB activity looked a bit crazy, it was making the news on it's meteoric rise.  I became obsessed with watching the Coinbase Pro graphs scroll green and red.  What's going on? I ask Eric.  He tells me he sold some of his coins because it seems like the Doge coin incident all over again.  Joey and Eric both told me to dump my initial investment and just keep what's left over because it's probably not going to last.  I learned a new phr...

Loopring and Polkadot

No, not the names of jewelry and fashion wear.  According to Joey, GameStop is going to launch an NFT market with Loopring being an integral part of that.  Last week it was $0.52 and today it's around $1.00.  Damn him for waiting to tell me, because FOMO got me buying it at $1.04 and it's down to $0.95 as of this writing.  Yes, I know, be patient, stay in for the long haul. I also bought Polkadot (DOT) today at $48.72 a coin, so I only got a measly 20 coins.  Something about a parachain auction and it's going to "pop" soon.  Seriously, I don't know how I would ever hit it big.  It's like wanting to win the lottery but you never buy a ticket, or you buy one at Christmas with your stocking money.  Eric - "Maybe this isn't for you.  An Ark invest fund might be better.  That way when all this drops 60-70 percent you won't be cursing at Joey and me."  Ahh, he knows me too well.  After all, we used to be married. Joey - "LMAO. Agreed...

The First Day

After lots of texting back and forth with my ex and my brother, I finally settled on the trading platforms to use.  Yes, this decision took me quite a while and let me explain why.  I am a bit paranoid about entering my bank account information and depositing money into a company which is not FDIC insured or resides in another country.  Remember, I hate risks.  I also fear some smart 20-something will hack into a "secure" site and get access to my information and next thing I know, my bank account has been drained.  I keep my money spread across four different banks because I don't like to put all my eggs (or savings) into one basket. I decided to use Gemini for my first trades.  Gemini was founded by the Winklevoss twins, you know, the twins that claimed Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea for Facebook and won a large settlement from the lawsuit.  First of all, they're quite attractive to look at, and secondly, I am not a fan of Zuckerberg nor do I have ...
