Confronting Dave Ramsey About Bitcoin, Dividends, & Real Estate

[@alexsteven.m6414]

like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

[@Tanner-c2m]

Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional

[@belobelonce35]

True. I first came across investing in the market in 2019. Already stashed about $480k in savings then, and the free money from the Government was pouring in, increasing inflation rate. I just got an advisor and kept the money there, just because I didn't want to keep the value of the money depreciating in the bank. Tbh, it's the best investment decision I've made since then.

[@NorthCarolinaForward]

Could you provide guidance on how to reach out to this particular coach through their service? It seems like you might have the answer that others don’t.

"Rebecca Nassar Dunne" is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

@@aarg2609 Right, why bring it up if you are not prepared to discuss it?

[@CFLDumpsters]

Love Dave! Thru his courses we gained the financial education we never had in our mid late 20s. 20 years later we still use almost all the tools and are way better off financially because of it. It works if you work it, before you alter it master the basics as taught for 5-7 years. It’s habitual for us now.

[@tylerbrown5917]

So much wisdom in this episode. Thanks guys!

[@ngmi2wagmi]

Fantastic interview with one of the most influential money experts of our time. However…his opinions on Bitcoin are coming from a foundation of ignorance. For instance, Dave completely ignored your point about the halving. He doesn’t understand the concept of stock to flow. The 21 million ceiling doesn’t matter to him, even as a contrast to the unlimited fiat supply. He ignored BTC’s basic fundamentals. He criticizes it without understanding a single Satoshi. He also ignored its 14 year track record, and then completely botched up the definitions of investing and speculation. Because ALL investing is speculation, by default. Whether you were investing in your small business, a mutual fund, or a piece of real estate to buy and hold onto long-term. It all involves risk, and historical price action does not guarantee future results. It is all speculative. He’s making up his own definitions to fit his own narrative. He is the epitome of someone criticizing something they know nothing about, even when you try to teach them. It’s called willful ignorance.

[@NiceOneZebra]

Yeah, he really is ignorant about it. Most smart people are still ignorant about Bitcoin. Let them be. It’s early. He calls Bitcoiners greedy. Bitcoin is built on honesty. Dave foundation is built on the worst shitcoin ever, the USD.

[@dontsweatitpod]

I like to think Dave is MUCH wiser in life than I am, and I don't want to belittle his intelligence on Bitcoin, even though I think he's wrong. He can afford to be wrong on it and I didn't press too hard to correct him because at the end of the day - he's right about being worried for people who invest their life savings into crypto thinking it's the solution. It could be... but it could also turn out wrong. No one knows for sure, and you have to diversify and be responsible. I don't disagree with him on that. -AJ

[@Lyudtaru]

You are correct. He is very very ignorant and doesn't want to look into one of the biggest deals we have today. Bitcoin is much bigger than what we ever had or will have. It's sad that he is misleading so many people when it comes to this subject.

I love that abundance mentality. I have found that to be true as well.

You can make excuses or you can just keep improving at what you do until you are successful yourself.

[@dylanbly3468]

The main issue with his withdrawal rate is that he’s saying he gets a 12% return. No one in retirement has 100% equities to get that type of return

[@basseon]

Exactly. But when you're rich like him, you can have a gigantic sum in equity that will produce 8% and more ROI. It's also crazy to think that it's easy to make 12% ROI with a mutual fund.

[@StarcloneSCR]

Dave recommends that people have 100% equities even after retirement.

[@freedomring3022]

[@Curbalnk]

True. I’ve been investing in the stock market for 11 years now, last 5 years with the help of a financial advisor. Through this period of advisory support alone, I've been fortunate enough to achieve a 10x return compared to my previous efforts as a DIY investor, summing up nearly 85% ROI as of today. My best so far...

[@greekbarrios]

@curbalnk I've been looking to get one, but have been kind of relaxed about it. Could you recommend your advis0r? I'll be happy to use some help.

[@Curbalnk]

There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Kristin Amber Landis” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

[@blaquopaque]

[@jeremiahwarmbier5224]

I am that guy who put my money into speculative assets instead of paying of my debt & my student loans, for a time. Then with the 2021 bull run I paid off all my debt, including all my student loans and bought a business. Now I am doing very well and happy. If I had taken advice such as Dave offers, I'd still be in debt and wage-slave. Since then I stopped trading crypto and other speculative stocks have a more passive investing style. I would never suggest to do what I did, because I am no genius, I just got very very lucky.

[@ethangilworth7891]

It was really quite obvious that Dave has done little to no research on Bitcoin and yet insists that investing in it is a bad idea. To boot, he was completely unwilling to listen to anything you said about the topic. Your patience was amazing though. Keep at it Andrei!

But I disagree with him on it over all...but you can't buy it when you have other investment needs and bills, etc. But love your work...keep up the good work and thanks for the Dave vid as I love him and his crew!

[@sammetzger2087]

Thank you for the goat advice and information.

[@spencerhaness]

Would be interesting to know if Dave really believes inflation has averaged ~ 4%. That is the official number the government gives us but it’s pretty obviously much higher than that, making most of his 11% ROI just nominal returns that aren’t really increasing overall purchasing power. If you measure the stock market in terms of gold, they’ve returned 0% over the last 30 years. The “returns” are deceptive and really just retaining your purchasing power.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Inflation was practically zero for the first two decades of this century dude.

When countries are getting in on it and is not just some thing that has no history, it has 15 years of history and basically no issues.
