After the systems analyst has performed a thorough and accurate business case, they can start working on the actual software development project. Typically, business analysts are involved in software development from the beginning, while others may only work in the middle of the process. In either case, a good software developer will take an active role throughout the entire development life-cycle. The key to successful development is good communication between the software developer and the business analyst.

The real question is, are they crypto are are the securities? Meaning are these exchanges trading securities that are not properly registered with the SEC. There is a very good chance that the answer is yes. BTC is different.

Perhaps the most significant of all is the fact that LINK tokens don’t represent equity shares in the Chainlink company. It simply means that LINK tokens don’t give holders share in Chainlink company’s profits. They are utility tokens, which can be used on the network, but don’t serve any other purpose. Hence, they aren’t equity security.

BTC is a speculative asset. A lot of other coins are utility coins

3 or 4 people I work with each spent something like 4k on an ethereum each last week. All people who have never actually invested in ANYTHING before. As in, I "hey guys, you might want to look into our 403B option or a Roth IRA instead of cryptos for a first investment EVER" and 5+ years into full time work non had made a single retirement contribution.

As I type this, they're having some kind of therapy session on the teacher's patio to try to convince each other not to sell and cut their losses. I think it's fair to say the risk of the crypto game was not up their alley.

I have 5ish ethereum I bought for like 50$ each years ago. I'm definitely in the mindset of not even looking at it as much as I can help it. I don't get the feeling ethereum is going anywhere, and I'll probably just cash it out when it comes time to buy a house. Sold my bitcoin in 2017 and I'm kicking myself for it to this day--lesson learned.

This is the thing about investing. If you buy a thing because you think it's going up...more often than not, that's a losing strategy. If you buy a thing because you believe in it long term, then you weather the ups and downs, perhaps add to your position on the dips. Short term trading is recipe for long term failure.

Will they come back? Maybe. If the utility is really there, sure. Worst month for stocks is often May-June. So this isn't that unusual.

I sold 1/4 of my BTC a little while back at about $54k a BTC, which still yielded about 300% of my original investment (1 BTC at $4900 last March). So the rest is just play money now.

I will probably be doing the same with my eth.

Although it might be a downpayment for a small business (saas etc).
 
I bought a bit of LINK on the dip. Sold some stocks and ETFs and rebalanced into safety to some extent.

1st family dip in LINK waters < 24. Thanks to my wife's insights yesterday re: further mainland enablement of the Yuan crypto, and subsequently waking up to her phone's SG crypto app texts.

There's no real inflation adjusted safety, and you run the risk of missing the start of the next bull if you just play safe. For me it's just a rebalancing exercise. I bought a TIPs ETF (not TIPS, the Schwab one has lower expenses), and some other things. I was overweighted in things I think have too much likelihood to go down in the near term.

If you are truly going to just hold, buy SPY and make it the basis of a portfolio. It's a pretty foolproof long term solution honestly. You will miss some massive individual stock gains, and you will miss huge collapses in individual stocks. From there you can dial in risk with specific stocks or small caps, QQQ, IWF things like that. Or dial it down with short term bond funds, dividend and income ETFs. All I did was dial down. I'm still riskier than SPY on the whole.

Canadian banks, typically reasonable divs, more conservative than similar size US banks, and solid foundation of commodities-based economy. Snooze fests, usually not growth oriented. BNS (owns share of Santander Chile which may weigh down BNS a bit until Chilean constitution politics clean up), TD, and at lower valuations than now RY and lesser known Canadian Western (CWBWF ADR of CWB.TO). UK (BCS) and Aussie banks (pick lowest valuation; commodities based economy). Commodities bought 3Q&4Q. Bit more spice, BLX (Latin America commercial bank). SPY and QQQ puts.

good choice.

I also like the small regional banks in the US as they are usually more conservatively run.

I got some ETH a number of years ago and forgot about it when it was around 100/coin.

When ETH was a little higher, recently, I used some of my earnings to buy a lot of cheaper coins like ADA and Icon and a few others, still have some ETH too.

Not too phased by today, going to ride it out and enjoy the ride, wherever it takes us.
