That’s still an incredibly healthy stack. It’s a LOT better than the nothing that a lot of people have. Don’t compare yourself to the people that have kilo bricks and 50 ozt bars. We are all doing just fine with our own special treasure troves.

>But the "devs" I've met attending conferences and hackathons are awful.
This is true of the people behind a LOT of startup businesses though. Going beyond just the crypto or even larger tech spaces.
That fluff will always exist, and it WILL burn a lot of people in nascent developments like crypto, but it does also eventually normalize over time.
I think a shit ton of people, including people like the article author dumping on the future of alt coins, just have no patience, and never had a willingness to take their lumps. It's extra difficult too because the future pictures are basically a blank slate so no one can really realistically forecast how we get there.

[WTS] GENTLEMENS JUNK LOT, 4 OZ .999 LOT, CASINO TOKENS..ALL SILVER UNDER SPOT

So LOT consolidated and is now LOTDB.
Is CommSec going to wake up and figure out what my average buy in is in relation to it now or is it forever going to say purchase price $0 and make my portfolio act like I'm doing much better than I really am

Along with a LOT of other people yammering about this.

I’ve been in platinum for a while (both hard and paper), and I keep coming back to the same conclusion: this metal is still one of the most mispriced commodities on the board. Platinum used to trade above gold for years, now it’s treated like it’s irrelevant… even though it’s still essential for real-world industrial demand (catalytic converters, manufacturing, etc.). Supply is also tight and concentrated, so it doesn’t take much disruption for the market to get squeezed. If platinum starts trending up for real, which it just broke out of its ascending bull flag, the miners wontmove slowly, they move violently, because the market re-prices the entire sector fast once the “platinum is back” narrative hits.
That’s why $PLG caught my eye. It’s a smaller name with real leverage to the platinum theme, meaning it doesn’t need much attention or volume to start moving. If we get a commodity rotation, a weaker dollar, or even another hydrogen/fuel-cell hype cycle, platinum sentiment can flip overnight and these names go from ignored to crowded instantly. On top of that, look at what’s happening in the bigger mining world: Caterpillar and the heavy equipment players are basically fueling the next wave of mining expansion for copper, silver, gold, and everything needed for infrastructure and electrification. More mining = more demand pressure across the complex. And when gold and silver start running, it usually drags the rest of the precious metals up with it. Platinum is already starting to wake up, and it’s got a LOT of catching up left to do. Usual miner risks apply (dilution, timelines, sideways metals), but if platinum really breaks out, $PLG is the type of ticker that goes from sleepy to cracked-out. Not financial advice, do your own research.

I worked through mine, but it wasn’t a stipend. Some stipends are W2 and some are not. Working on a PhD is a LOT of work.

I have a sizable position currently: Approx. 300 July 17 $5c's

I don't know if there will be a "crash", although long-term I'm bullish.
But let me address pat of your question, "are you going to buy on the dip, if there is one?".
Yes.
I'm a little fish among the whales. I (kind of) dca into silver. But any crash of this magnitude would have me re-balance my asset mix to add a LOT\* of silver.
\* "LOT" as defined by my small fry status.

Oof, $4800. I had a local fee only at $1500.
Not faulting the CFP, per se, but maybe your answers to risk tolerance steered them in this direction. If you are really that risk adverse, they *may* have suggested an appropriate portfolio.
But then, the number of positions seems a bit too much, some index funds may have met the need of diversification.
Are you that risk adverse?
If they did not ask probative questions, then it is poor planning.
Maybe look for an online or AI based quiz of your risk assessment.
I would say at 35, with a pension to cover 38% (do you also get SS benefits?), a LOT of your basic needs may be already covered. A more aggressive portfolio at this age (VT only) seems more appropriate. I would add that you can adjust once you hit retirement, and that building cash (2-3 yr) as a SORR buffer like 3 years from retirement may help.

I think it’s a combination of things.
Tons of cash on the sidelines, everyone keeps buying the dip
Asset inflation…the S&P basically went up around the same percentage that the dollar fell in value last year
Having lived through 2000 and 2008, bot were obviously bad but it took A LOT of loss for investors to capitulate
My $0.02…

Cash. Silver could fall just as fast as it climbed. Mortgage companies also like to know exactly where cash came from, and like to see it having been in your bank account for several months, otherwise you're going to need a LOT of documentation.

I have 1,000 shares
I have followed this as closely as a dentist pulling teeth daily for a long time
I truly believe it’ll be 400+ per share by summer and maybe 450 by end of year even
So many positives this year for the turn around story an Wallstreet likes to price things in instantly
I do believe we will see cautious guidance for the moment but by end of next quarter or two a LOT of smoke clears

\*Post script for those who care:
Long time stacker but new to the subreddit. I’ve always just bought whatever looks cool to me, but my preferences have changed to classic 1 oz rounds and ASE’s for the sake of storage. I’ve decided to get rid of this lot of odd sized silver from my collection with the added bonus of using this money towards an engagement ring for my amazing girlfriend. I’ve always stacked so I can provide for my future family and I guess I was looking a little too far forward to carve out the proper budget for a good ring! My rash decisions are your gain!!!
I’ve been nervous about making my first sale post but it’s time to make things happen so I can finally propose to my best friend. I was budgeting to buy a ring in April, but something bit me in the butt and it feels like the time is now.
If you’re still reading this, thank you for your time and I’m wishing you the best on your stacking journey!!! 

1st sentence means, You can't send unsupported assets to Revolut and 2nd also includes airdrops forks and so on. Just use AI... it will be much more detailed.
But I wouldnt send any assets in or out regardless, they are not friendly and will freeze your account and ask A LOT of questions if you do end up doing deposits/withdrawals.

For the last year bears have been preparing for a stock market crash.
They have missed out a LOT of money. People posting 6 months ago selling all their stocks, they're down right now.

The move to passive indexing is the correct move, i.e., VOO, VT, VTI, ITOT, IVV, etc. (Or to a target-date fund.)
The only question you need to ask yourself, and maybe your accountant, is how much will that $50K in extra income "hurt" you? My recommendation without knowing any of your tax information is to realize no more than $10K-15K in capital gains a year for the next 4-5 years. And prepay those taxes to keep on top of it. Leave those 1% fees in there for the next twenty years and you'll lose out on a LOT of money...
But yeah, the Wiki's got a lot more nuanced information. See [Timing of transactions to reduce taxes - Bogleheads](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Timing_of_transactions_to_reduce_taxes)
