There is no good luck. It will bottom out. I have been at this crypto game since 2015. I have a stack ready. I have flipped eth so many times. It is free money.

Try your luck with EGOC.

Reverse merger with a Chinese company that has the backing of the Chinese government.

Most likely a S&P 500 or total stock market ETF or mutual fund.

Too costly for me to chance losing what I have. I’m a retired plant baw. Never was a math kinda guy. Good luck to you though. I’m not hating. Just answering the question posed.

Not pay a professional to manage just 10k idiot. The guy said it was a gift. Didn’t say it was my net worth. Get over yourself.

While I have to admit that some people were a bit harsh in the way they came after you for your reply, you also have to realize that by investing in a well diversified mutual fund or ETF, a *professional* would be (essentially) making investment decisions for you.

Paying a professional to pay a professional (especially with this smaller sum of money) really is unnecessary.

That’s just what I would have done in my situation. Thanks for understanding. I feel quite comfortable with how I manage my own investments.
