#63That's all the point of crypto-currencies, they need to go up and down to enable speculation. Pump and make it go up. Dump and it goes down. Someone is cashing the difference. A stable crypto-currency will not attract so much speculative investment.

Neither does crypto. Out of all things that's about the least "low risk" I've seen yet.

#67This is on top of all the carnage the market has seen in the last few months. Everything is on sale.

My bad, didn't check Netflix. It's not "really" part of FANG in my head, I suppose. Edited my comment to say "Big 5" instead.
> It's not "really" part of FANG in my head What do you thought the "N" stood for or you thought it was a placeholder so that acronym is not offensive.
Big Tech stocks have changed since FANG/FAANG was coined, the term doesn't necessarily relate to what was big and heading for explosive growth back then. "FAANG" is a noun that doesn't necessarily mean "Facebook Amazon Apple Netflix Google" any more
