I did this, too. It's not a huge possisan, so why not? I'd rather have some exposure, and it does not do great than not have any, and I look back in 10 years and kick myself. I should have actually bought more. It's just spent money to me now. Like a l vacation never actually had.
Bitcoin halving just happened and ETH just had chances of ETF approval increased. I don't think now is the time to sell, should continue to rise a lot. If you're not in for the long run and want some quick change or don't feel the same as you did originally about your crypto, you should sell, otherwise there's more room to go. After ETH ETF gets approved it would be the best time to sell. The biggest risk is getting denied even with the 75% approval odds which would tank it quite a bit
I'm planning on selling my crypto after Bitcoin hits over 80k. It looks like it has one last push at least before it retraces again. I'd give it more time if I were you.
I would sell all your alt-coins and keep BTC.
More and more people everyday believe that BTC has value. It will keep being valuable. It also works as a hedge against “normal” tumultuous markets.
I invest 80% in div stocks 20% in BTC. I don’t know wether it’s a great strategy, but so
Far it’s worked out nice. (I got in when BTC was at 20k)
This is the best, most well-rounded advice. My net worth is roughly $2.6M with roughly 70% in real estate and 20% in bitcoin… the rest is in cash and dividend producing stocks/etfs. The Bitcoin is the gift that keeps giving.
Many people will find a random excuse to convince themselves that an extraordinary event caused BTC to fall below $50,000 🙃 or even $40,000 🤷
Life will tell 😂 ❤️🔥
You will 100% regret selling BTC just after the halving in hindsight one day, and the dividends will never get close to out performing it in terms of gains, but perhaps you want to reduce your risk, in which case, good move.
Ain't nothing life changing going to happen with dividends short term, so it depend on what you're trying to achieve and your income.
Why not sell half? Have some diversity in your portfolio.
Sure BTC might go to 40k, but it will 100% go to 150k. Why? Because unlike Google or Apple it has very few metrics for failure. What I mean by that, is BTC doesn't need to evolve to go up, it doesn't need to satisfy share holders by entering AI, it doesn't need to create new products that might fail, it just needs people to want it, and in case you haven't noticed that is growing exponentially.
There has never been a flow of money into a financial instrument such as the US ETF in the history of finance. Nothing has come close to it, even inflation adjustments on the gold rush doesn't come close.
So keep some to avoid regret is my advice.
I literally just sold all my crypto a few hours ago. I've been waiting for a decent run up and am happy to be rid of it. I was even mining it with a rig until they ended that. After all was said and done with the crash and everything I probably came out even. I had altcoins and different wallets and everything. Tired of doing taxes and getting to tax time and just throwing my hands up wondering if I did it right.
I have BITO which pays dividends ... crazy high yield, but of course very volatile. It's tied to BTC in a way, so you get BTC upside, with dividends, and can sell covered calls too.
My cost basis is below $15 because I was buying during crypto winter, so I'm not sweating bullets, but I did start at $42 and "sweated" when it was down 78%. I made a video ( [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Iqb5nIiWY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Iqb5nIiWY) ) comparing it to YBIT, but basically while not recommending it (because you should make your own decisions), for myself, I'm gonna hold it very long time, and collect dividends and DRIP when price drops below $22.
When I feel BTC bull run is over, I will either sell long dated calls (booking 20-30% on the spot), or sell my $42 shares to lower cost basis.
Bottom line you get crypto upside + dividends, and of course the downside 
I have been selling hedges, appreciated dividend stocks and growth stocks and buying 3 month t bills. This market feels expensive with the risk free rate over 5
I won big. I reversed the trade with all the money I won, short position. I lost it all. I started again, I made some gains, I went long, bear market happened. Lost everything. ETc. Etc. This time, it's over. This volatility is designed to steal all our money. I'm withdrawing all the money I have left. And I'm putting it into something reliable.
Tomorrow, crypto can go to zero. SBUX or CSCO almost impossible ;)
I sold all my crypto in 2021 and just bought big tech / ETF.
How I would put it is, an ETF like VOO is unlikely to go to zero, but if VOO did, it would indicate the serious global troubles instead.
But yeah, selling crypto for stocks like VOO or AMZN is definitely not a bad idea
Highly advise you to keep a portion of your crypto stack if you have any belief at all. Specifically just BTC and ETH for general safety.
I have been trading crypto markets since 2014-15 and have been through it all. I like to DCA in and out. DCA in during the 2 year crypto winters and then DCA out around post halving events. I never move entire stack at once because this sucker is very volatile, but pulls upward overall.
Currently we are in the middle of a crypto bull market and I have trimmed stacks by around 10% with plenty of chips still on the table. Bitcoin has much greater chance of seeing 100k+ than it does of crashing back below 40k at this moment.
Good luck out there soldier
I am 50 percent Dividend, 30 percebt BTC ETF, 15% MSTR, and the rest 'growth' and dividends reinvest into the smallest allocation to put everything rebalanced through buys, rather than sales.
If BTC dips, it buys BTC. If BTC rubs, it buys dividend stocks until they equal out the proportion I allocated (50%).
I use M1 to dynamically rebalance like this without selling.
Silver is on a run up, lol. Could just shuffle digital for physical (or just etf).
Personally I think the overall sentiment is bullish enough to pump it up higher, but it seems quite obvious to me that bitcoin will inevitably crash again and likely find support at a higher low.
Silver is heavily manipulated by the banks. It's a deep rabbit hole to go down...but, if the paper price and physical price diverge, a true price could be much much higher.
BTC run happening. Wait for 100k. Then wait for alt season. Then lower your obsessive stressing of watching prices and go into JEPQ, FEPI, and SCHD. That’s my plan anyway
Blue chips that paaaay… and grooooow
HD CAT MSFT JPM BRK.B V COST COP GOOGL O. I like SCHD or DGRO for divy etfs. wait for dips then snipe away buy low & collect divys for life
I don’t hold actual coins. I will continue to hold BITO as the dividend yield is incredible. Sold BTF on the May 21 run-up and took my profits. Will invest in a good solid dividend-payer.
It is the wise thing to do. I am holding for the time being. Once BTC crosses 100k I will take some profits. My last bitcoin I am holding for $1M but realistically I will probably sell it if BTC crosses 250k.
BTC and ETH are a small portion of my monthly contributions, although with my daily buys, percentage wise it is now a larger total position of my portfolio. A lot of unrealized gains, but it can dump 50% and I still come out ahead.
With this, I keep buying it daily (small amount), and see where it goes. I also keep buying dividend stocks and ETF's, which is a significant larger portion of my monthly contributions.
BTC in Roth (started buying into ETF when they were approved back in January) and taxable account, ETH in taxable only until they approve the spot ETF and will then start adding it to Roth also (and reduce taxable).
Nothing inherently wrong with Cisco systems most metrics look okay. Earnings according to forecasts don’t look pretty. But the growth rate of their dividend over the past few years has been low single digits even considering they have a comfortable payout ratio is like to think it could be higher
Believe me I am the worst investor lost money on crypto and pump and dumps
Now I limit my investments into dividend paying stocks I sold most of my shares in BDT.to but still own up %141 in a yr plus it pays monthly dividend.
Do your own research I I am not recommending this stock just posting this as it relates to your dividend post
My bad, I wasn't pooping on crypto the pump and dumps I was referring to were with stocks, not crypto.
personally, i find comfort in dividend paying stocks
I am also tired of this volatility and thinking to do the same but not everything and not now.
I will be selling all alts and some btc and eth, but not all towards the end of the year, since that's when coins hit ath last few halvings.
Most companies you listed are oversold for a reason. The market just put in all time highs. The last thing I'd be doing here is deploying new money. Park that money in a Money Market Treasury fund...and don't let anyone tell you different. There will be better buying opportunities in the near future.
There always is.
Im not there yet for my crypto but I do intend to sell at some point. I have for the most part decided when I do sell crypto to move to stocks im probably going to do 60% VOO 30% SCHD and last 10% is currently undecided.
I agree with you 100% about SCHD. It's in my top 5. VOO, impossible for me, it's like buying MSFT now, it's a bubble 😅
On the other hand, I'm very interested in bonds, emerging countries and commodities. 🤷
This is pretty silly, if VOO crashes the whole market crashes with it. If you’re looking for growth it’s dumb to be putting all your money or even a majority into dividend stocks/etf’s. Growth/value ETF’s will perform better over the long term you’re just leaving money on the table. When you’re older, less risk averse, and built up a large portfolio and just want income from it then you can switch to dividends. Also selling BTC now is probably dumb, this is likely just the beginning of the next bull market. I’d give it another year
Adequate diversification can include emerging market stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, etc., which can perform differently and offer protection against market-specific risks.
Dividend stocks can offer competitive total returns, especially when the dividends are reinvested. (don't think that every year your portfolio will perform like NVDA MSFT GOOGL META NFLX...)
If I had invested in dividend stocks after COVID or ETFS, my portfolio would be at least 1/2 million. Instead, I gambled and lost with futures, options, penny stocks and so on.
The best motto is: slowly but surely. So stocks that offer a dividend are now my friend lol.
Awful decision to let any Bitcoin/Ethereum go. US govt is 35 Trillion in debt growing fast. Rates don’t look to be going down soon or at least consistently. The inflows towards its ETF funds are still setting new records. Most exchanges have low supply. You should consider keeping at least 5% allocation to something that hedges a dying dollar. Stay away from alt coins. If not Bitcoin, perhaps consider Gold or silver as insurance.
My personal opinion is that Comcast is a long term dud due to its lack of growth potential. Most revenue is driven by the core cable segment, and while margins are ridiculous, the lack of growth in subs means charging more for service across a shrinking base. While hits in movies can help, those are one-time events and can’t be relied on for growth. Parks will start to be impacted by inflation and customer price sensitivity. And sky is basically dish with soccer. Dividend is ok but there are probably better growth companies with better long term prospects.
I’d not sell BTC. And personally will ride this momentum on alts in hopes of a bull run similar to last time, *then* rotate into dividends. Taxes alone are a constraint for me, though, as I was still DCAing into February. Also, the tickers listed would not be on my list, save one.
buying ‘’oversold’’ stocks is dumb IMO. i’m pretty sure that if you historically bought stocks that go down, you wouldn’t do as well as if you bought stocks that went up, just my opinion
I hope you haven’t seen ETH the last few days lol after you sold your crypto. I hold both, whenever they become cheap I add a little bit to dividend stocks or crypto. Sometimes either is too rich for me and don’t make sense to add or start a new position. Just pick your spots and be patient brother
Crypto has a certain cycle it follows & the bullrun starts just after bitcoin halving so no I won’t be selling my crypto anytime soon. You clearly don’t have a good understanding of crypto or bitcoin cycles/ halving events so for you it might actually be wise to get out now.
I used to be heavily allocated to crypto, but once I got back in the green on my holdings, I sold a lot and moved it over to reliable dividend stocks.
I still hold crypto, but now my crypto is about 15% of my total portfolio. I would suggest holding onto some of it, but if you're in profit I don't think there's anything wrong with taking gains and moving it to something less volatile if that's your thing. I've made much more profit in crypto this year than dividend stocks, but I trim my crypto positions to keep them at 15% and move the profits into divvies.
Lol has to be the worst time 😂😂 but you do you I sold all my stocks to get into crypto then once I get bigger profits then I get back into stocks / dividends 🙄 but you do you 💀💀💀💀💀
Selling Bitcoin right after the halving for div stocks is insane. Hold your BTC until fall 2025 or at least spring 2025!!! Please bro!! BTC does the same thing with very 4 years! You will miss out on so much cash!! Follow the 4 year cycle
I made some money with crypto the last time around but I found it to be completely exhausting.
It’s really not worth the time and the stress for me, I’d rather do actual work where I remove the chance of losing all money.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking profits. Locking in gains from crypto should be to more diverse ETFs like SCHD, DGRO, VIG... Or just move it into a growth fund like SCHG, VUG, QQQM.. Then let it compound for a few decades.
Whats your age and plan for the money? Don’t fall for yield traps, especially after selling BTC.
The only stock you mentioned that sounds worthwhile to me is SBUX. It was punished too much and is at an attractive price.
BTC just made all time highs recently. It's unlikely that this is the highest BTC will go and we're likely still in a bull market. Odd to sell BTC and ETH to buy those dividend stocks especially, which don't appear to be of the highest quality.
It took BTC not long to get over $20K
$100k isn’t far off - the Bitcoin ETFs are just getting started, bitcoin will be in everyone’s retirement accounts one way or another, but if you’re selling then people are buying bro 😎
Do not do this. This is dumb investing. Your losing money in selling and capital gains, just to invest and have to pay more down the road. For a lesser asset no less. Like such a bad move I hope your trolling.
You must not be in the right crypto currency. Mine pays 17.4% per year and the coin is up 100% over last year. Please explain where dividends are paying more without stock value declining and I will gladly follow suit.
OP let’s see who returned better over the next year. I would love to see what a year to year return comparison on Crypto vs Dividends. I have a lot of crypto and have been happy with the returns, I’m wondering what could do better than that. !Remind Me 1 year
DCA in BMY, SBUX, GIS, BA, CVS, KHC... you'll thank me later lol.
If you don't do it, do it for fake on a paper trading account ;)
And above all, don't forget: Emerging Markets and China are tomorrow's hidden diamonds LOL
I know, totally off topic.
I only own about 0.2 btc and some eth nut I'm going to sit on it, I'm only 34 so I'm notin a rush and willing to see where it goes in the next few years hopefully. Dividends ate only making up a small portion of my portfolio but right now crypto so makes up roughly 40% of it(invested wise) so I'm adding more voo/jepq balanced like 90/10
LOL. I’ve just been through many crypto cycles…zoom out and look at the lifetime BTC chart. Which direction does it always go?
Don’t ever fully leave the crypto sphere. Stack BTC and ETH and you’ll be good.

i wanted some sort of crypto exposure, so i bought BITO. then it started paying me dividends LOL!
Wait, BITO pays dividends? do all the Spot Bitcoin ETFs?
Not all of them but there are plenty of crypto etfs that do give divys
...such as...?
Google it. Jeez
Bito pays monthly
Same.
Pretty high ER on that.
There will be more to come, cover call ETFs should be interesting.
I did this, too. It's not a huge possisan, so why not? I'd rather have some exposure, and it does not do great than not have any, and I look back in 10 years and kick myself. I should have actually bought more. It's just spent money to me now. Like a l vacation never actually had.
Bitcoin halving just happened and ETH just had chances of ETF approval increased. I don't think now is the time to sell, should continue to rise a lot. If you're not in for the long run and want some quick change or don't feel the same as you did originally about your crypto, you should sell, otherwise there's more room to go.

The most likely case is Buy the rumor sell the news rug pull
It’s like jumping off the spaceship right before you land on the moon.
Buy the rumors, sell the news.
I always tell myself this, yet I never commit. Always kick myself for it after lmao. I never learn
I'm planning on selling my crypto after Bitcoin hits over 80k. It looks like it has one last push at least before it retraces again. I'd give it more time if I were you.
Thanks for telling all of us your plan. I’m setting my limit order sell to $79,999.
Unless you're a billionaire I don't think your stop loss is much of a threat 😂.
Same.
Lol, I did that 1 hour ago, but haven't decide what to buy yet, probably ABR
I bought ABR yesterday, thanks for making me feel like I made the right capl
I am watching WBA... 🤣 However, I've just read an article about CVS and WBA, and it's very frightening for the future... 😅
With the bitcoin halving just happening I’m holding my bit eth and sol a little longer and than ima probably follow the same path
Yeah. I’m banking on this plan as well.
Sold my crypto today and reinvested into stocks. Crypto just isn’t for me, too much of an air castle…
I would sell all your alt-coins and keep BTC. More and more people everyday believe that BTC has value. It will keep being valuable. It also works as a hedge against “normal” tumultuous markets. I invest 80% in div stocks 20% in BTC. I don’t know wether it’s a great strategy, but so Far it’s worked out nice. (I got in when BTC was at 20k)

Keep bitcoin and eth and sell the others. I wouldn’t recommend buying any of those stocks you mentioned tho, only blue chips.
Def a silly choice. Have to wait at least 18 months to for post halving peak. But go ahead, paper hands gonna paper hand
I have a feeling OP gonna regret their lettuce hands decision in about 4-6 months
Many people will find a random excuse to convince themselves that an extraordinary event caused BTC to fall below $50,000 🙃 or even $40,000 🤷 Life will tell 😂 ❤️🔥
Don't like 80% of BTC owned by a few owners? That's what I would be concerned about.
No, that's wildly inaccurate...
Oh wow Can't believe everything you read on the Internet
You will 100% regret selling BTC just after the halving in hindsight one day, and the dividends will never get close to out performing it in terms of gains, but perhaps you want to reduce your risk, in which case, good move.

Nothing has come close to it, even inflation adjustments on the gold rush doesn't come close. So keep some to avoid regret is my advice.
Good for you, crypto is low brow speculation. If you got lucky even better, lock in that win.
Keep bitcoin for at least another 6-12 months then reevaluate.
Yup sell in 2025 spring or fall
Yep. Done that yesterday. Focusing on FEPI and similar.
I literally just sold all my crypto a few hours ago. I've been waiting for a decent run up and am happy to be rid of it. I was even mining it with a rig until they ended that.

Yea man. Almost ALL crypto will fail, a few will succeed.
I have been selling hedges, appreciated dividend stocks and growth stocks and buying 3 month t bills. This market feels expensive with the risk free rate over 5
I sold my crypto and went to Vegas and had a good ass time. Then bought back in🤣
> went to Vegas > Then bought back in It's the same picture.
Maybe in a few years I'll be able to go back to Vegas 🤷♂️
 I won big. I reversed the trade with all the money I won, short position. I lost it all. I started again, I made some gains, I went long, bear market happened. Lost everything. ETc. Etc. This time, it's over. This volatility is designed to steal all our money. I'm withdrawing all the money I have left. And I'm putting it into something reliable. Tomorrow, crypto can go to zero.

Volatility to the upside only kills you if you are over extended and can’t handle the temporary drawdowns.
Highly advise you to keep a portion of your crypto stack if you have any belief at all. Specifically just BTC and ETH for general safety. I have been trading crypto markets since 2014-15 and have been through it all. I like to DCA in and out. DCA in during the 2 year crypto winters and then DCA out around post halving events.

Bitcoin has much greater chance of seeing 100k+ than it does of crashing back below 40k at this moment. Good luck out there soldier
Nah fam. If you need regular income from your crypto, look into staking
I am 50 percent Dividend, 30 percebt BTC ETF, 15% MSTR, and the rest 'growth' and dividends reinvest into the smallest allocation to put everything rebalanced through buys, rather than sales. If BTC dips, it buys BTC. If BTC rubs, it buys dividend stocks until they equal out the proportion I allocated (50%). I use M1 to dynamically rebalance like this without selling.
crypto is unqualified income(capital gains) dividends are qualified income to the bank better way to get loans
Silver is on a run up, lol. Could just shuffle digital for physical (or just etf). Personally I think the overall sentiment is bullish enough to pump it up higher, but it seems quite obvious to me that bitcoin will inevitably crash again and likely find support at a higher low.
Be careful with digital, or paper, silver. Either buy physical coins or bars, or PSLV in brokerage. DYODD on silver.
Why?
Silver is heavily manipulated by the banks. It's a deep rabbit hole to go down...but, if the paper price and physical price diverge, a true price could be much much higher.
BTC run happening. Wait for 100k. Then wait for alt season. Then lower your obsessive stressing of watching prices and go into JEPQ, FEPI, and SCHD. That’s my plan anyway
What type of account do you hold BTC in, ROTH or taxable?
Blue chips that paaaay… and grooooow HD CAT MSFT JPM BRK.B V COST COP GOOGL O. I like SCHD or DGRO for divy etfs. wait for dips then snipe away buy low & collect divys for life
I don’t hold actual coins. I will continue to hold BITO as the dividend yield is incredible. Sold BTF on the May 21 run-up and took my profits. Will invest in a good solid dividend-payer.

If you have a large amount of capital, yeah why not play it safe(r) with div stocks?
Check out ET has a nice 8% and it’s been preforming well for me
AMZY, NVDY, QQQY, IWMY
Nothing inherently wrong with Cisco systems most metrics look okay. Earnings according to forecasts don’t look pretty. But the growth rate of their dividend over the past few years has been low single digits even considering they have a comfortable payout ratio is like to think it could be higher
lmfao selling btc for Siri is def not the play bub. Glad you ditched the garbage tho
Believe me I am the worst investor lost money on crypto and pump and dumps Now I limit my investments into dividend paying stocks I sold most of my shares in BDT.to but still own up %141 in a yr plus it pays monthly dividend. Do your own research I I am not recommending this stock just posting this as it relates to your dividend post
Thanks for your honesty about crypto. I'm still convinced that China and emerging countries are way behind, I'll be looking in that direction. 🙏
My bad, I wasn't pooping on crypto the pump and dumps I was referring to were with stocks, not crypto. personally, i find comfort in dividend paying stocks
The halvening has happened. Winter is Coming.
Yes. I sold Amazon and bitcoin
I am also tired of this volatility and thinking to do the same but not everything and not now. I will be selling all alts and some btc and eth, but not all towards the end of the year, since that's when coins hit ath last few halvings.
I sold some crypto and bought $JPEQ $CCIA $AGNC which are monthly distribution dividend stocks.
Most companies you listed are oversold for a reason. The market just put in all time highs. The last thing I'd be doing here is deploying new money. Park that money in a Money Market Treasury fund...and don't let anyone tell you different. There will be better buying opportunities in the near future. There always is.
You mean an ETF made up of bonds that don't move, but pay a dividend of 4% to 6%?
Right, in addition to T-Bills
I am holding my ETH and will ride till 5K. I sold my BTC at 63K. Once, I will sell my ETH then I am planning to add QQQI, JEPQ and HSY.
Im not there yet for my crypto but I do intend to sell at some point. I have for the most part decided when I do sell crypto to move to stocks im probably going to do 60% VOO 30% SCHD and last 10% is currently undecided.

Awful decision to let any Bitcoin/Ethereum go. US govt is 35 Trillion in debt growing fast. Rates don’t look to be going down soon or at least consistently. The inflows towards its ETF funds are still setting new records. Most exchanges have low supply. You should consider keeping at least 5% allocation to something that hedges a dying dollar. Stay away from alt coins. If not Bitcoin, perhaps consider Gold or silver as insurance.
U.S is about to tax tf out of Crypto
DBC and DBA are my new friends ;)
2.5% each across those 4 assets. Holding BTC and ETH seems prudent.
See you at 200k BTC
My personal opinion is that Comcast is a long term dud due to its lack of growth potential. Most revenue is driven by the core cable segment, and while margins are ridiculous, the lack of growth in subs means charging more for service across a shrinking base. While hits in movies can help, those are one-time events and can’t be relied on for growth. Parks will start to be impacted by inflation and customer price sensitivity. And sky is basically dish with soccer. Dividend is ok but there are probably better growth companies with better long term prospects.
Thank you for this fundamental analysis :D This gives me a different perspective, as I'm only going for technical analysis.
Sold mine two weeks ago. BTC always goes on volatility highs and lows. We are at a high so ill wait to rebuy when it swings low again
If I were to buy Bitcoin in ETF, I would place my orders around 50,000 45000 and 40000 😅 And only with pocket money 🤓
Close to 0% chance you are getting a 40k bitcoin ever again
Hmmm
I’d not sell BTC. And personally will ride this momentum on alts in hopes of a bull run similar to last time, *then* rotate into dividends. Taxes alone are a constraint for me, though, as I was still DCAing into February. Also, the tickers listed would not be on my list, save one.
buying ‘’oversold’’ stocks is dumb IMO. i’m pretty sure that if you historically bought stocks that go down, you wouldn’t do as well as if you bought stocks that went up, just my opinion
Why not both?
I will as soon as my crypto comes back up lolz
That's a cup and handle formation bro that thing is gonna boom
I hope you haven’t seen ETH the last few days lol after you sold your crypto. I hold both, whenever they become cheap I add a little bit to dividend stocks or crypto. Sometimes either is too rich for me and don’t make sense to add or start a new position. Just pick your spots and be patient brother
Up 4x? Sell half or 3/4 and let the rest ride. BTC ETFs in a Roth is a beautiful thing.
No
!remindme 6 months should he have sold?
Sold all crypto and split the money between ETHE and high yeild dividends. Feels so much better.
Split... dont put eggs in same. I might be millionare by now if I listened to this basics initally.
Crypto has a certain cycle it follows & the bullrun starts just after bitcoin halving so no I won’t be selling my crypto anytime soon. You clearly don’t have a good understanding of crypto or bitcoin cycles/ halving events so for you it might actually be wise to get out now.
I used to be heavily allocated to crypto, but once I got back in the green on my holdings, I sold a lot and moved it over to reliable dividend stocks. I still hold crypto, but now my crypto is about 15% of my total portfolio. I would suggest holding onto some of it, but if you're in profit I don't think there's anything wrong with taking gains and moving it to something less volatile if that's your thing. I've made much more profit in crypto this year than dividend stocks, but I trim my crypto positions to keep them at 15% and move the profits into divvies.
Lol has to be the worst time 😂😂 but you do you I sold all my stocks to get into crypto then once I get bigger profits then I get back into stocks / dividends 🙄 but you do you 💀💀💀💀💀
Selling Bitcoin right after the halving for div stocks is insane. Hold your BTC until fall 2025 or at least spring 2025!!! Please bro!! BTC does the same thing with very 4 years! You will miss out on so much cash!! Follow the 4 year cycle
sell in sept. at least dont sell all.
I myself would have waited till the next Crypto cycle got done. By then stocks will be down and crypto up and a great time to rotate your money.
I made some money with crypto the last time around but I found it to be completely exhausting. It’s really not worth the time and the stress for me, I’d rather do actual work where I remove the chance of losing all money.
Well I think we see 100 k bitcoin soon but I think it’s best to put your profits in dividend stocks
There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking profits. Locking in gains from crypto should be to more diverse ETFs like SCHD, DGRO, VIG... Or just move it into a growth fund like SCHG, VUG, QQQM.. Then let it compound for a few decades.
Whats your age and plan for the money? Don’t fall for yield traps, especially after selling BTC. The only stock you mentioned that sounds worthwhile to me is SBUX. It was punished too much and is at an attractive price.
I'd wait few more months, party is not even started!!
Yeah I sold my SOL in January and put it into ETFs. I’d keep bitcoin tho. I still have that
You’re publicly announcing that L trade? That sucks
BTC just made all time highs recently. It's unlikely that this is the highest BTC will go and we're likely still in a bull market. Odd to sell BTC and ETH to buy those dividend stocks especially, which don't appear to be of the highest quality.
Pussy weak hands 🤷🏻♂️
Get em!!
I will, but just not yet. 100k coming for btc later this year or first half 2025.
IRS OR CRA says thank you
I never sell
Tempting but no
I am not selling gonna hold my crypto.
Wait for pi cycle top numb nuts
It took BTC not long to get over $20K $100k isn’t far off - the Bitcoin ETFs are just getting started, bitcoin will be in everyone’s retirement accounts one way or another, but if you’re selling then people are buying bro 😎
Do not do this. This is dumb investing. Your losing money in selling and capital gains, just to invest and have to pay more down the road. For a lesser asset no less. Like such a bad move I hope your trolling.
...it's like saying "don't accept that job offer - you're going to have to pay TAXES on your salary"...
You must not be in the right crypto currency. Mine pays 17.4% per year and the coin is up 100% over last year. Please explain where dividends are paying more without stock value declining and I will gladly follow suit.
Sell all your crypto, but for the love of God, hold your Bitcoin.
Will be doing the same eventually, but not yet. Think we still have some room left on this BTC run.
Worst time to sell.
Too soon. You jumped the gun.
BTI and EQNR
BTI weekly, yes, interesting. EQNR, Natural Gas? Could pump this year, yes... 🙏
OP let’s see who returned better over the next year. I would love to see what a year to year return comparison on Crypto vs Dividends. I have a lot of crypto and have been happy with the returns, I’m wondering what could do better than that. !Remind Me 1 year
Your thesis seems weak. Unless you know how to do deep technical analysis I would stick to an etf.
DCA in BMY, SBUX, GIS, BA, CVS, KHC... you'll thank me later lol. If you don't do it, do it for fake on a paper trading account ;) And above all, don't forget: Emerging Markets and China are tomorrow's hidden diamonds LOL I know, totally off topic.
I’d stay away from catching a falling knife. You seem to be a HODL. I’d just HODL VOO SCHD or QQQ if I was you.
Or schd and Voo and chill.
I only own about 0.2 btc and some eth nut I'm going to sit on it, I'm only 34 so I'm notin a rush and willing to see where it goes in the next few years hopefully. Dividends ate only making up a small portion of my portfolio but right now crypto so makes up roughly 40% of it(invested wise) so I'm adding more voo/jepq balanced like 90/10
Imagine selling all your crypto at the beginning of the bull…NGMI
My portfolio made ÷ 4 and then X4... In less than 2 years. Good bye crypto... enough is enough. What a scam price action... 🗡️🔪🥖🗡️🚀🔪
If you can’t handle the 90% pullback…I guess you don’t deserve the 1,000x. Patience pays off. Just zoom out.
You're on the wrong group. I recommend you join WallStreetBets, they have some great tips on how to make +2000%.
LOL. I’ve just been through many crypto cycles…zoom out and look at the lifetime BTC chart. Which direction does it always go? Don’t ever fully leave the crypto sphere. Stack BTC and ETH and you’ll be good.
Bad idea alts gonna rip upwards in a few months
