    trying to make that twitter money back after making it a complete shitshow slashing it’s valuation by 2/3 and losing all advertisers

      You don’t understand valuation

      It’s just a tax write off when private.

      It’s better to grow into a valuation. Remember Elon admitted he overpaid so imagine the twitter public stock rn without elon

      It was only worth 30 billion before Elon so 19 billion isn’t that bad tbh. Look at other stocks and their crash

    Hello, I need some advice. I work 2 jobs to support my family, and I am selling many personal possessions to try to get to a single Bitcoin. I am battling debt, trying to keep us a float, and just trying to be part of this movement. Is there any way to make money from cryptocurrency trading?

      Well for me, I recently got into crypto trading and I’m already marveling over the profits I am making. I’m like, “how the hell have I been sleeping on this?

      Get yourself someone who understands the market very well and is also professional in placing trades. That’s the key

      Having orientation of trading before getting involved will help you more

      Talking about orientation of trading you’re really on good point. I see trading as a way to overcome poverty
