My portfolio has good companies, however it has been declining since last year. I have lost over 30% of my *$600K* portfolio in the stock market and i'm looking to recoup. How do i turn the tide around?
Who says that an investor always needs to find NEW stocks to buy? - I subscribe to the theory that a maximum of 15-20 stocks is plenty. When I want to buy more, I just add to my existing holdings. - When an investor has a portfolio of 30, 50, 100 stocks, it starts getting more complicated and time consuming to keep an eye on all of them.
He needs his views. These clowns make weekly videos of "stocks to buy now" to get views.These TH-cam investor guys prob hold less than 5% of the stocks they recommend, it's for views. Simply investing in about 5 of the same ETFs consistently for years will outperform anything else, you can't make weekly videos about it though.

Your Chia thesis wrt cloud storage has a fatal flaw in it, there is no way that cloud storage companies would ever allow this kind of usage. The way Chia works at the protocol level generates an insane amount of read/write IO, and leads to very rapid physical wear on storage hardware. Even solid state is not immune from this, because there is a finite number of expected lifetime writes per memory location.
