5:45 20% of my portfolio is ETH. I’ve been holding it for a few years now. Would it be wise to switch it all over to BTC now and become a whole coiner, move it over to SOL (10% of portfolio), or just hold it and wait for a pump? NFA.

[@tree6196]

Super show James! Tremendous amount of info and alpha! Really appreciate all your work, effort, and insight!

[@InvestAnswers]

Much appreciated!

[@Sol_Bull]

Thanks for your donations to the animals! Maybe 2 years ago you did a donation to a butterfly sanctuary. It inspired my wife and I to plant (a lot of) butterfly friendly bushes and flowers. This year we finally saw 3-6 monarchs. Not common in my parts.

[@InvestAnswers]

That is awesome! I have a ton outside also... love it

[@Barry_Fink]

As someone that ended up becoming a bag holder through the depths of the bear profit taking is my biggest priority this time around! Excited to see where we go over the coming months. Appreciate all the wisdom James 🙏

[@FlyingHigh558]

[@BennieBlueEyes]

As a Chef... I totally appreciate your Restaurant analogy! Breakfast WAS cheap as well... The price of eggs and bacon might have taken a large chunk out of that margin... Unfortunately. Always appreciate your charts, dedication and "lamens" breakdowns James!💯💙

[@matthewroyer1077]

Thanks James

[@margod.7453]

Thank you so much for the info

[@TheDavidAlexander]

I'm so excited about the profit taking model you are working on - it's looks amazing so far. One request I'd like to make is for how you would recommend reinvesting profits strategically as the price of Bitcoin takes major pull backs like 20 to 30%. Firstly, how do we determine if the dip is part of a longer trend. Secondly, how do we optimize as we invest going down. For eample, a 5% pull-back is ignored. A 10% pull back means we reinvest 5%. A 25% pullback means we reinvest 25%. We would do this because we want make sure we don't miss the dip. I know this is a lot but it seems useful to me.

[@mwiggulz]

thank you for the quality content

[@7of9]

Exceptionally good video. ❤

[@Luke-xt8dg]

🎉🥳To late so still watching, thank you very much James!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@InvestAnswers]

thank you for coming

[@chrissertich6197]

Excellent work my friend

[@InvestAnswers]

so humbled

[@jujujonbitcoinisplanbcrypt9618]

Thank you boss ❤ team 🇬🇧

[@jeddill3272]

Love you dude! Keep up the good work

[@543whitey]

Suggesting to ppl that they not buy term life insurance is pretty close to being financial advice. Assuming they have loved ones they are responsible for: if they died tomorrow in a car accident, would their family be ok? If yes, then fine, but if not, well... I've known ppl in that situation, and it was not pretty. NFA of course.

[@docs8820]

Thank you James, I learned a ton from you, especially about Tesla

[@chalillito]

Who is going to buy all of this when we are out work? Smarter and faster!

[@Mranderson6030]

Great analogy with the restaurant!

[@marinagadaborshev7427]

My day is complete. I saw today's dose of wisdom. :) Was hunting the worst house on the best street. Fingers crossed.

[@hhal9000]

''for warned is for armed''.And I agree absolutely.

[@captrigby]

Thanks!

[@InvestAnswers]

You bet! 👍 thank you Kirby

[@ScottTheHatMan]

My wife and I are both in the process of trading in our vehicles for Model Y's. Waiting for the trade/financing to finalize. The .99% APR is how this made any sense. Thank you Elon!

[@EvanMichael03]

James is a legend

[@asdf9C]

Love your channel. I have no desire to be involved in anything that is proof of stake.

[@chuck3673]

Great advise, take some profits off the table. I needed to hear that in 2017 and 2021.

[@r.bee8733]

Excellent info ✌🏽

[@InvestAnswers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johnfrederick6152]

James🎉 You’re the best of the best. GOAT!!!!

[@footpath0592]

The best channel

[@alex_rogan]

Than you James. German Shepard is my favourite dog. Miss mine.

[@BatmanBoss]

Thanks buddy

[@InvestAnswers]

No problem 👍

[@modela6301]

James never disappoints!! im glad to switch over to james from music for my workouts..😂double impact ....im left wondering what would be the top 2 coins in AI, RWA,DEPIN & GAMING?? anyone?😅

[@arnaudroy7663]

Eth is on fire

[@JonathanHelvey]

I believe Switcing from RENDER ERC TO SOL would be considered a swap not an exchange. Which would be taxed at a later date when sold to USD or different currency.

[@swamivivekananda-cyclonicm8781]

Solana is 20x from 8 to 160.. and people asking when will alt florish

[@open_water2411]

We pay income tax on any staking rewards over £1000 P/A in the UK. Under that you get to keep it all but you’ll pay CGT when you sell.

[@543whitey]

yeah it would likely be considered interest income in Canada, as you are basically loaning your crypto for an APR. Business income at the marginal rate.

[@I-done-did-it]

That’s interesting. I thought it was income here in the UK. I keep following videos and looking on the Gov site. I must have misread that. Cheers for that. 👍

[@storiesforkids8793]

Loved the pizza analogy!!! 😁👌

[@melisalercari4334]

Fantastic James. Thanks for all your hard work🥰🥰🥰

[@InvestAnswers]

You are so welcome

[@thistimeisdifferent]

Looking forward to Blackshirt Monday

[@Gillecriosd]

Nice haircut, James 😎🤙🏼

[@22interceptions]

37:15 forewarned is forearmed. Basically means if you know something is coming, you are better prepared than those who do not know.

[@wiggywinger]

Forewarned is Forearmed 👍

[@UndercoverD31]

I’m not in patreon yet, but happy to say I also jumped on the 0.99% interest Model Y. Best decision. I love this car!! And I much appreciate your content. Thank you for all the wisdom.

[@UserNameTakenDown]

Did you see your insurance payment yet? 🤣

[@big_red_machine3547]

I’m holding my ETH bag until ‘2025 Q4. For once, I’m going to do the opposite of everyone else and see if I win big this time

[@mich_mash]

you had a good day today buddy!

[@big_red_machine3547]

@@mich_mash Thanks bro. What an awesome decision haha

[@big_red_machine3547]

@James I’m sorry that you sold your ETH bags brother 😂

[@stuntchickentv]

My son bought the Tesla Y for 0.99% about 45k when all said and parts choose' n to come with

[@BoldlyExplore]

Hi. I missed the Layer 1-5 strategies? Where what video may I find them on? And how did you come up with the sell levels/amounts on each 6-10 level? Thank You.

[@ricochetrabbit4618]

If I recall correctly, plan B put a question mark at the end of his statement and I believe he was posing that as just a possibility.

[@ExpensivePizza]

I came here to say exactly this. Punctuation is important? Yes it is.

[@DC-bh5tg]

This is my Sunday gospel. Thank you sir.

[@yumyum408]

Oh geez...beautiful shepherd...so sad she was abandoned

[@abasauruswex6418]

Fore warned is fore armed.

[@TheBudwix]

Hey James, how to get your buy/sell signals?

[@TheDavidAlexander]

Regarding Render on Eth, I've noticed that every time Bitcoin pumps, Render is going up as much as Solana. Just food for thought.

[@InvestAnswers]

Thanks for sharing

[@johnclark7973]

In America, what is the short term capital gains rate? What is the long term capital gains rate? What makes the investment long term, 1 year?

[@alexlaroux777]

thanks for all the valuable information & THANK you for caring for the animals!

[@InvestAnswers]

Any time!

[@SocietyNeedsImprovement]

I would like to see a chip company face off video, kind of like you do for the miners. Nvidia vs TSMC vs AMD vs Apple vs Intel etc. I think chips day in the sun are not over.

[@dariolamoglia4195]

How safe is staking Solana on the Phantom wallet?

[@flamenco1]

Thank you James we can never discount the war or threat of war risk ....today prime example. Be well and HODL on.

[@aparajeta]

What’s happening in Iran?

[@VeronicaWe]

Forewarned is forearmed!

[@cygnetspurs]

Who protects your taxi when no one is there to do so. Not everyone in late night taxis is going to have respect, to say the least!

[@543whitey]

yep def an issue, maybe a inward facing camera to keep ppl accountable?

[@ds2012ad]

The new model Ys will have injector seats for those rowdy passengers 🚀 😉

[@ChatBTC1453]

Forewarned is forearmed 😎

[@why77_256]

I'm in the UK, wife just purchased a MY on the promo rates offer here. Albeit 1.9%

[@rainbowbridge5259]

You mentioned taking profit on Bitcoin on your model. At the same time you mentioned the next baermarket going lesser down as usual and because of ai the bullmarkets lesser high in the future. Also you mention holding bitcoin to build wealth. As i just started buying bitcoin and my goal is defenetly the wealth growing , what stragedy would you think is the best that combines all the said above? Apressiate your answer very much 🙏

[@johnqlunchbucket]

👍

[@user-df4re6fx9j]

What’s your price prediction on RNDR? Do you see a 10x from here?

[@bregipson]

At 28:00 Can someone explain even further why MSTR will go away? I didn't quite fully understand what he was saying in that part

[@alanbednell5384]

Once again James a great video, my one question is, investing into Tesla, does this investment include all of Elons robotic ventures, or are they separate

[@doomsdaypreppersofsouthcar9301]

Cant stake in SC...our state Gooberment stopped staking
