@@InvestAnswers My, how the light of wisdom and understanding gets brighter for all of us. Not so long ago I watched the various "retire on" episodes with such hope and eagerness. Now, with the benefit of time, experience, research, and personal observation, I know that bitcoin is the one _and only_ virtual asset that will endure even as all the crypto tulips wilt and eventually die. (Yes, I own some MSTR, including a call option, which is up ~70%, but the lion's share of my holdings is BTC, held in cold storage.) _Bitcoin now and forever -- all else is folly!_
I watched this video last year in June 2023 and again today March 13, 2024 and it was a great experience. MSTR was in the low $200's and you nailed everything that is happening right now. Well done James! We love your work, models and planning expertise. Thank you!
I had about $40k in tech stocks not doing anything in my 401k, moved it all into Microstrategy last year and my 401 was up over 70% for the year. This year, it's looking like I'll beat that and it's all thanks to BTC and MSTR because the rest of my 401k is in low interest, ultra-safe funds since I just retired and wanted to reduce my risk exposure. I wouldn't have done this had it not been approaching the halving and increasing rumors of an ETF approval. Nice to get it right once in a while.
I realized that if you are not Warren Buffett nor someone in the industry, it's difficult to make decent return from the stock market. Stock picking is an effort in futility, particularly at an uncertain time such as this. My portfolio is still significant, about $320k, but I'm not confident about picking stocks anymore. Are there really no other options for me to gain from the stock market?
It's hard to beat the market as an ordinary investor. You don't have access to information that professionals have. So it's just better if you invest with a professional who knows how things work better.
@@georginalikewood5057 I've always wanted to work with an FA, but didn't know how to go about it, If you don't mind, how do I reach out to your advisor ?
Picking stocks is a risky thing to do, particularly for non-professionals. I learnt that in 2020 when I lost almost everything, but I switched to using a financial advisor who has better knowledge of the market than I do and I've been returning at least $70k every month, just too bad I didn't learn this earlier on.
Interesting! Been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now, but the fear of losing funds holds me back, any help pointing me to who your advisor is and how to reach them?
I'm not so comfortable making recommendations on the internet, but since her webpage is public accessible, she's Lisa Ann Moberly, a simple search with her name will suffice.
Thanks James, I am from India,living in Germany, would live to retire in Thailand...still another 15 years to retire!! Thank you again for the great info!!
I have MSTR for safe custody and tax advantages in my ROTH IRA. Selling MSTR into AAPL or something is not a taxable event, even selling into cash isn’t.
Living below ones means is difficult but necessary. I've made lots of money mistakes but I've learnt from them. I have 25% of my capital in an IRA, 20% in index funds, and the balance in other investment accts in cumulative of 440k. I receive income from rental property too. Took me a while to get here though. Ever heard of ferrochrome financial securities ?
Companies are buying micro strategies as a gateway to invest in bitcoin. Why should retail traders buy micro strategies, when we have access to Bitcoin? Love ur vids!
Can you explain? This is really cool but if I had the choice to buy $32K worth of MicroStrategy - which is made up of Bitcoin, or owning Bitcoin - I would choose to own Bitcoin. Why would one want to invest in the stock market instead?
Hi James, Very good i have a question why would anyone buy MicroStrategy rather than just buy BTC when that is all they invest in. Thanks great show as usual.
I can only assume that it’s difficult to buy Bitcoin using money that’s contained within a pension account. I’m the U.K. there is no BTC spot ETF to use as a ramp in. The only way to buy BTC is to use free cash, which isn’t an option when funds are locked into a pension account with its limitations on investments available.
"Cocktail" retirement model/strategy sounds amazing, James. 100% onboard with whatever you suggest being best based on the math. Thank you for all you do!
Namaste James , Dhanyawad ! Here are the some numbers and some word for numbers from ome of oldest numeric systems of the world. 1,00,000 is 1 Lac = 1 hundred thousand 10,00,000 is 10 Lac = 1 million 1,00,00,000 is 1 Crore = 10 million 10,00,00,000 is 10 crore = 100 million 1,00,00,00,000 is 1 Arab= 1 billion 10,00,00,00,000 is 10 arab = 10 billion 1,00,00,00,00,000 is 1 kharb = 100 billion 10,00,00,00,00,000 is 10 kharb= 1 trillion
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what happens to MSTR after the ETF is approved? This would be a great follow up video as many are probably wondering this too. Thanks in advance and love your content. Dave
I love everry single word which u say in every single video!!!! Thank you so much dearest James❤❤❤❤!! I am still in the EU and i am wondering where is the best place to to you to emmigrate...preferably 0% taxes on cryptos/stocks😊and safety..whst is your opinion?❤🍀
If a spot BTC ETF is approved (a when not an if) MSTR then is no longer is the only on-ramp for the securities market to get BTC. Doesn't that kill the value of MSTR beyond the actual BTC it holds?
Hey James, for india you said 1 Crore of rupees per month. The figures that you showed was for 1 Lac rupees. 100 Lac’s is equal to 1 crore. Currently 1 million USD is equal. To 8.5 crores of rupees or 850 lacs of rupees
James, great video. Watch you every day when I wake up in Australia. I have followed your TSLA & MSTR advice. 😮Interested to know what your strategy is for when Elon Musk or Michael Saylor should pass. Do you sell straight away then buy back in once it’s bottomed (probably a week later) ??? Would love to know your plan. I think TSLA can stand in its own. MSTR is very reliant on MS. Thoughts?
Huge THANK YOU to you and your team for all the hard work you do for our benefit James ❤️ so very grateful for finding your channel. I listen in to all of your vids. Would love if you could do a retire on a mixture of BTC, ETH, TSLA, MSTR. 🙏🏼
James, can you do a fresh video on MSTR, been sometime now! Trying to understand the impact of the notes redemption today, seems to be equity dilution at approximately 25-30% of the current market price!!
Just for fun you should do a video on, “How to Retire by Eating Out and Buying Starbucks Coffee” because you can’t afford to save for retirement and invest. Seems to be the new excuse these days 😊
Good one! Genius idea. I make all my own coffee and food - go broke fast doing starbucks ( but in full disclosure there was a time in my life where I was spending $25 a day there)
James, you missed my country, El Salvador. My husband and I will be moving over there, so it would be nice to see what the cost would be in a few more years
I am from future! I should have listen to this !!! :( i am feeling terrible James. as a gold holder , my gold stock went down %25... i could have put it in MSTR and have my finances sorted... Is it too late?
Love it. Thanks James! Wow, no way in hell are the gov retirement numbers work. Double them or triple them. The gov figure make sure u live at poverty level eating cat food. Yes...u won't starve, but u won't travel either.
Why would you sell the MSTR and take cash to live on? When you could sell it for a 4% dividend stock and live off the interest while keeping the principle.
The header descriptions do not match their column numbers in the "Where to Live" chart. For example, look at the column for Safety. I like the idea. I look forward to seeing future versions.
What happens to GBTC price if Blackrock, Fidelity or some other entity gets approved for a BTC ETF. Will money move from GBTC to the ETF and how much will that affect the price of GBTC?
Hello mate, I was wondering what will happen with micro strategy price, when all the other ETFs come on board. Micro is one of the only on-ramps at the moment, but if they're are multiple on-ramps, will that take away from its X factor? Cheers
Thank you for all you and your team do, James! Retirement Asset Cocktail idea: TSLA, BTC, GOOG, SOL, ( or ETH, AMZM substitute options). I left out MSTR and GBTC so as to not overlap BTC.

Found this 8 months later. BTC Price is $72,200. MicroStrat price $1485. Coinbase $254.00. Great work!

Anyone watching this video now, divide his price targets by 10, because MSTR had a 10 for 1 stock split recently.
Oh wtf no wonder these prices were all wrong af

I loud like a tesla, btc, mrst, sol cocktail.
Our pleasure!
Jeeze wish I would have found this earlier. Nice job. Mstr is almost $1,800
Thanks James I was thinking about buying more MSTR this morning and lowering my cost basis.

WOW 1 yr later Black Rock ETF is greatest etf launch ever and MSTR up from 250$ to 2200$(10x1 split adjusted). 1 yr from now where will we be🤔
Just mental, but hindsight is a wonderful thing 😢
I'm only down 40% on my 100 shares, so that's encouraging :P HOOOOODL.

I'd love to see a retire on TSLA, BTC, MSTR, ETH, SOL combination portfolio. Love this series
This one suits me too. Thanks for the great work.
Great thought, you may want to do some research on TSLY, a covered call strategy on TSLA, it's really interesting.
Yes I’d like that also
why invest in MSTR, if you can just hold BTC?
SOL?
Much appreciated James and team!
Looks like retiring to Thailand then! Great show James.
cya there
Me too
I would love to as well, Germany getting real expensive!!
Brilliant James as always, I would like to see your opinion of QNT network thrown into the mix.
Great idea
Thoroughly enjoyed this video James. Thank you sir!
Glad to hear it!
BTC/SOL/TESLA
I bet you get asked this all the time....but any chance you can do an updated version of this for MSTR?
Why no AAPL or MSFT? Also, how does TSLA holding BTC affect its future value?
Thanks James 🎉
You said 1 crore however the number your slide had was 1 lakh (per month) I believe.
Love from 🇮🇳
Would love to see an up to date version on this james 🙏
I thought I watch almost all of James's stuff. I wish I had seen this video when it came out.
Massive video thanks James🇹🇭🙏🇵🇭🏝️

Not if Blackrock owns a huge chunk of it down the road just like they will for coinbase eventually
Whats your pick for AI? What do you think abou FET?
Is there a retire on BTC and ETH James
Thank you James keep up the great work 👍
If only we had listened AND followed. 😅

Can you add Columbia, Domincan Republic and Puerto Rico? Asking for a friend!!! Thanks for everything!
Can you do a review on kaspa coin please? Love your work thank you so much.
I’m in the uk and have MSTR shares and get btc via Revolut as my on ramp
Could you do a retire on Nvidia. Thx so much
Amazing content!……as usual 🙂 I’d love a retire segment featuring TSLA, SOL, NVDA, GOOGL, MSTR. 🙏
Isn’t micostrategy redundant as well as vulnerable, if your stacking Bitcoin?
If I hold Microstrategy, how is that supposed to cover living expenses? Microstrategy don't pay a dividend.
The only you will retire with MSTR is by being short. I'm long btc but mstr makes no sense. Just my opinion feel free to take the side.
Just for fun you should do a video on, “How to Retire by Eating Out and Buying Starbucks Coffee” because you can’t afford to save for retirement and invest. Seems to be the new excuse these days 😊

Defi Technologies DEFTF. Is it where MSTR was a couple years ago? Does it have good strategy/management? Is it time to Buy?
