Kind of what I’m leaning towards too @rawdawg_7.
My only concern is it too much to fold out AK? Maybe $500??? I want AK in there!!!!

Then raise turn bigger and river shove is irrelevant.

With the straddle, you were ~100 bb effective deep, as mentioned previously by another poster. Not 200.

I'm behind you a bit on years and family but just bought my own personal version of the 'Melody' and now that's squared away I'm almost all in crypto too but just BTC ... dunno how you swing it all on these single penny / alt-coin names but wish I had the balls because I'd of been retired at this point with different coins / stocks I rode for a small size :/.

I have eery feeling that 52k was the 'bull trap' though as I lived through 2018 / 19 bear and lot more scams and vaporware are in present in this current environment.

Maybe if you are King Sargon of Akkad lol - this is 2021 bro.

I don't disagree on precious metals, they are absolutely going to be invaluable, but the real $$ is on the blockchain.

Down everything made on flip since the big 100k purchase on CB.
We worried? Nah. We run the game, the game doesn’t run us.

Gold hits 2.2K plus before Bitcoin hits 50K.

I’d be shocked if Bitcoin doesn’t touch 20K or less in the coming years.

And despite what the blockchain community wants to say, they all trade together. So as bitcoin goes, so will the fraud coins.

There could be some financial scenarios where gold really takes off but I prefer the Bitcoin side.

There's no secret the crypto market is correlated to Bitcoin performance. Although some of them are slightly less correlated and their price is more independent of the general bitcoin direction.

I wish you the best of luck but I couldn't ever imagine putting my entire net worth into crypto. Maybe allin on BTC but not some random shitcoin called mana.

Sure the upside (2-3x?) is nice but the downside (-70%) is far worse. As a semi-professional retired poker player you should be managing your risk better. A little diversification can go a long way

20% of portfolio is sports cards. Basically bonds. With his earning potential he should be way more risky. 10x leverage on the mana is a no brainer for the hero.

Since this bull market is so much more absurd than prior ones ... I suspect the average alt-coin loss to be -95% from peak to trough (including many de-listings ... exit scams ... miners quiting etc...).
