Thank you for sharing your story. Controlling my FOMO has been an ongoing learning experience. You are not alone!

SAY "EXTRAORDINARY MARKET ACTIVITY AND TRADING VOLUMES" ONE MORE TIME.

Thanks, @Jotaro!

It's almost as if the SEC examined Ripple as the standard for making a digital asset, and ensuring it is not a security.

Some fear that 100 billion XRP is too much. Others hope that 100 billion will be enough. I think the supply is just right.

I might have to tell my boss I am pre-retired.

At $220/XRP you may be able to lab-grow your own for McAfee to eat.

Coinbase having a hard time with USDC at the moment. "Convert" to USDC is not even an option at the moment?!

Good answer. Online resources, and even non-degree programs are often better than a true BS from a university. Treehouse is great, for example. If a BS degree is a requirement for you, I highly recommend the Harvard Extension School. Completely online degree program, with on-campus options if you are interested.

I browse XRPChat and other crypto channels to gauge sentiment. It's nice to be able to identify the volume of newcomers, fake accounts, FUD, ecstasy, etc. A bonus on XRPChat is reading the serious TA, especially when it is accurate. Also memes.

My (not financial) advice is to dollar cost average for a period of time that works for you. Definitely load the fiat into Bitstamp, and make spread out purchases. If you are unsure about how long to wait between purchases, I suggest watching the price closely for a few days, and don't feel bad about FOMOing. Buying "at the bottom" is almost impossible, and any seasoned trader expects the price to drop a bit immediately after a buy. I wouldn't worry about USD vs. Euro.

pre-pump = pre-rich 😩👌
