Accredited for another year. It's been a tough last 12 months, a great time to keep accumulating, however I feel that's not been happening. I believe the next 12 months will change that once we're through this current turbulance. View my verified achievement from @thedacfp. https://t.co/5s6LhaTQxG via @credly

Before SpaceX, @elonmusk's friends tried to discourage him from starting the company. He had ~$180 million after taxes from selling PayPal. They made him watch a compilation of rockets exploding — one after another.

"You're literally going to light your fortune on fire. It's going to explode in the sky."

He did it anyway.

Then, as a side project at @SpaceX, he decided to build satellite-based internet.

Teledesic. Iridium. Two of the most catastrophic capital destruction stories in business history. Both tried it before him. Both went bankrupt.

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) on what happened next:

"If the rockets are reusable, we're going to be launching them all the time. And then the question becomes, what's going to go in the rockets? [Elon] could wait for the customers to come to [him] with more stuff to put in the rockets, or [he] could just put up [his] own satellites."

@Starlink now has over 10 million subscribers.

@OscarChalupsky @campaign4cancer @theMMRF @IMFmyeloma @thule_sa @AmericanCancer Great result Oscar and much more preferable that your bloods are positive. I can understand the iPhone face thing, I had a 7 hour top jaw reconstruction and was intrigued how my iPhone would react, my phone unlocked first time! Your mindset has always been your super power champ.

The IRS is closing the door on a long-used crypto tax loophole. Starting with 2025 filings, brokers must issue 1099-DA forms for digital asset sales.

I explained to @CNBC why many investors have misunderstood their reporting obligations.

For a More detailed discussion on why you now need a 10% - 40% allocation to Crypto, watch Ric’s discussion with Josh Brown.

If you know more about Crypto than your advisor…..maybe it’s time for you to change!!

[Derek Brauteseth CBDA CFP @DerekBrauteseth]

What % should you be allocating to your portfolio?

With the launch of the Sygnia Bitcoin Plus Fund, I have started allocating up to 10% Bitcoin exposure to client portfolios.

Here’s why? https://t.co/csEc1T0zpX

@LouisNel @ruark @HodlSouth From what I understand SARS issued an updated guideline in October 2022 which now requires all crypto to crypto transactions to be reported as taxable events. Prior to this the guideline was only to report crypto to ZAR transactions.
Does anyone have clarity on this?

"What is genuinely remarkable about Trump administration’s effort to pressure [South Africa] is that it is the first time in living memory that a Western democracy has sought to check the ANC's kleptocracism...rather than excuse, enable or profit from it." https://t.co/4MbwEHqq57

🚨THIS IS BIG: Trump’s #crypto executive order EXCLUDES the Fed & FDIC from the digital asset working group. Both tried to kill the industry thru #debanking & especially targeted my company, @custodiabank. Both belong on the outside. Nature is healing.🙏
