What about the crypto stocks? i.e. Altcoins?

Interesting content! Totally agree with you. Remember: **cash is a position**.

I think everybody should get the hell out of stocks asap. Usually stock markets crash every 7 years. Now it has been 10 years since the last collapse. And debts are much higher than in 2008! 

Stocks are a good buy when you want to diversify, but wait a little while for that crash and buy the dip ;-)

youtube is dead

don't you think it can go either way , any market can crash and burn

Interesting question you answered here @louisthomas. Stocks kindof never caught my attention and there is a lot of bureaucratical and institutional overhead for investing, thus investing in stock never appealed to me. And now we got crypto, which to me is an amazingly interesting combination of finance/money, and technology. So I see even fewer reasons to invest in stocks. As far as the idea & the technology of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies goes, I am totally on team A. Antonopoulos and see a huge potential for this technology/idea to disrupt things on a huge scale.  It truly is _the internet_ of money, which is the next step in the evolution of money.

One thing I have learned is that don't forget to take marginal profits unless you have studied so much about something and you totally believe in that. In my case I had some gains from  ripple and tron but i purchased them not seeing the long term perspective so cashed out majority of the profit and I don't see anything wrong in that.

sell stocks, buy crypto ;)

Very interesting question you pose here.  Despite the fact that stock markets are  probably rigged by a combination of central bank intervention, quantative easing and algorithmic trading it is an established model that  "kind of works", can generate capital growth and dividend income for investors and is regulated. Crypto by contrast  IHMO is still  speculative and will be so until  real world use cases drive mass adoption and people actually transact using crypto. Consequently I  would consider adopting a pragmatic approach  and spread your risk  by investing both in the "old world"  instruments such as stocks and property (but NOT bonds) and the brave new world of crypto.

"Do you think it's a good idea to invest in stocks as a way to diversify outside of crypto?" HELL NO!!! The wheels are about to come off the stock market over 2018. Side step that minefield.
