Buying The Dips Cryptocurrency

I haven't written on the blog in a while as stocks were going down. When I first blogged and heard of cryptocurrency I purchased at a high time for stocks. Shiba Inu SHIB, Stellar Lumens XLM. PEPE, BONK, and even my Hedera HBAR, Ripple XRP, Cardano ADA and Dogecoin DOGE, were all at higher before starting downward trends. I heard about crypto when things were more booming.

What to do when crypto markets are down?

Hopefully you are in a position to buy some of the dips, if not then you wait it out and hold on especially on the stocks that offer a product or software as I purchased alt coins. On my meme coins I did nothing regarding buying dips even though the only meme coins I owned were top market cap movers. There are a lot of meme coins that can't say that but I do research them, heck some don't even have a website which I do check. No website on a meme coin, then I won't even consider it crypto.com is good about listing websites. I think when regulations happen in the USA most the meme coins will be gone. With Trump, Bonk and Dogecoin being submitted for ETF's we will see if the meme coin will be permitted or not. Dogecoin does have peer to peer payments on their site unlike the other two.

As the image shows, these are my alt coins. The ISO 20022 compliant from what I found is a means for the new blockchain crypto's to communicate with the old Swift system. I have been busy buying the dips on just these coins, well all but HBAR Hedera. Hedera is not on my Robinhood, I had purchased it through my sons account, so I own it but he got it for me. I purchased most my dips on XLM Stellar, mainly because I was able to buy it in my IRA under symbol GXLM that I wrote about. I am waiting to be able to purchase my other crypto in my IRA as soon as the ETF's become available. So why do I want my crypto in both? Well what is in my IRA I would be more inclined to sell to take out the money because my beneficiaries will be forced to sell all the stocks when I pass away. However, in my market account they have the option to keep the stock, and this is what I want as I want them to keep these stocks for generational wealth. This is why I want both. The Lord knows the desire of my heart in paying off debt of family so they being debt free. Should the Lord bless me with these things over and above giving to Him I would need direction on where to even give from Him and the Lords work.

So let us remember who it is that even allows us to get wealth it is the Lord:

Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV) But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Dogecoin From Last to First?

I woke this morning with a picture in my mind of crypto coins, but I couldn't see all the names except for Dogecoin that was at the front and clear. I knew it was Dogecoin by the "D" on the dogeface which is the website icon at the top of their page dogecoin.com. Dogecoin is the original first dog meme coin and a Shiba Inu dog is what they used. I found this out reading the history of the Dogecoin.

What was interesting is that Shiba Inu SHIB was the first coin I had ever heard about cryptocurrency with and wrote about it on my first post. Then here it is Dogecoin the last coin I purchased also using a Shiba Inu dog for their site. Dogecoin was actually first to come out with that. When I got up I did go check then the price of my stocks and here Dogecoin was up the highest percentage for the day. I thought that interesting. Then with thinking of all this the scripture about first and last came to my mind:

Matthew 19:30 (KJV) But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

I am waiting to see if Dogecoin DOGE gets the ETF approval from the SEC. That could be major and could cause possibly Shiba Inu SHIB to maybe get submitted. They both are top market cap movers.

Blockchain the new programming industry

Married to a retired programmer, programming provided a great income and with sons that followed in their dads footsteps, it has provided a great income able to support family. Now with cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3 being the new technology around, the future looks to be in this area. We have grandsons getting ready to graduate high school so this would be an area to even take some classes it see if it is something they might think is fun and interesting. One of our grandsons will graduate high school with a 2 year college degree with his current classes.

I had found some interesting information with an article about this called What is a blockchain developer and the article had several links within it that answered many questions. I also found within it that there are places offering like 4 month classes which to me is a great way to see if it is something you enjoy and want to pursue or not. This to me seems to be the future for all programming eventually years way out in the future. Especially if we see even governments starting to run on them.

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

XRP Ripple SEC Lawsuit is OVER!!

Finally as all have been waiting for four years for this lawsuit to be over!! Market for XRP jumped at the news. I found the article The SEC was the market manipulator’: SEC drops case against XRP, CEO claims. The article has a video on it from Brad Garlinghouse the CEO. This has been a long waited for ending. The hope is now that there is no holding back Ripple XRP from moving to be a number 1 contender.

I give praise to the Lord for this and look forward to following the events for SEC approval of ETF's on many of the crypto currencies that were delayed. Now for me when that happens I will be able to add cryptocurrency my chosen stocks to be purchased also in my IRA 401k I have.

Psalm 106:1 (KJV) Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

IRA and Cryptocurrency Stellar Lumens

Can I put some of my chosen stocks in crypto in my IRA?

I am newer to the cryptocurrency world but do have my chosen stocks. In watching things going on with the USA government where my crypto is concerned, I am aware of the many filings for ETF's on my crypto. I did write about some even meme coins were submitted on some. What I basically purchased were the lower cost stocks that were  basically in the top 50 cryptocurrencies. I studied the different stocks and there were things I did pay attention to after being lead to get into crypto, things mentioned by President Trump. The thing he did mention several times were American made crypto and being the leader of the cryptocurrency world. I knew to be even able to put the crypto that I have in my IRA that they would need to have ETF's approved.

In my weekly watching I often would do news searches on ETF's being approved. Well yesterday 3/17/2025 finally I was able to put one of my stocks into my IRA. I had decided to news search ETF's for each individual named stock I had and found that Stellar Lumens XLM was out there thru Grayscale and the stock code of GXLM, a Stellar Lumens Trust account. They don't sell one share of XLM at a time, they have what they call a basket of 100 shares for each one share thru them that you purchase. Stellar was the only one I found at this time but I was excited to add a bit to my IRA yesterday. The price was a bit higher than what I would purchase myself but I am sure that is the fraction they get for managing it. It was worth it for me to be able to put it in my IRA. Cryptocurrency is considered risky so I don't spend that much really but it added a second place I will be able to use.

Of all the crypto I do have I would love to put at least three of them in my IRA and the other two would be XRP and Hedera HBAR. Once Ripple XRP's lawsuit is over I think these ETF's will be approved. I keep watching to see if any of the others go thru also, it could be possible that like HBAR would be approved before XRP even.

I am reminded:

Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Have a Blessed Day!

Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained

Dogecoin DOGE vs Cardano ADA

Nothing ventured nothing gained, an old saying it is. Cryptocurrency was what I chose to venture in. Once hearing about it and feeling directed from the Lord to even get into it. I have done lots of study about it and this is the future no matter if we like it or not. Being retired I do have the time to venture out and find out about things. Tax time is upon us and being retired we get to an age where we are required to take a set amount of money out of our IRA accounts each year. Being in a position of not needing the money, I do have extra to spend on this new venture I praise the Lord for that even. Because I am able to be in a bit more risky things as all my other investments (IRA) etc are doing fine, I have used a 50/50 type approach for myself that others might not want to do.

Purchase of two more cryptocurrencies

Dogecoin DOGE and Cardano ADA were the two coins I was looking at. I ended up just purchasing some of each coin. Now Dogecoin is considered more a meme coin so this would make me have 4 meme coins in my portfolio and with adding then Cardano ADA this more an alt coin with a product. I added some of each of these to my portfolio. The reason for this was that both these coins have been submitted for ETF's and were mentioned by Trump. Dogecoin was submitted along with BONK and TRUMP coins. Bonk is another I do have for a meme coin. Originally I was only looking and purchasing crypto that was 50 cents or under to even be included into my portfolio. That did change a bit with Cardano, it was over the 50 cents but not a dollar. My only coin that I did go over on was XRP purchased recently, which is my highest priced crypto. Again though it will be an EFT with all that have submitted it plus Trump mentioning the coin for reserve or stockpile.

Since the market was down it was a good time to buy, plus some of the other stocks I purchased during a bull run so had dropped from what I purchased them at, so I bought the dip as they call it. Anyway I have what I call my bluechip stocks and my meme coins hahaha those long shots. I do plan to put some XRP when it gets an ETF into my IRA and possibly others that may get ETF's. Not much but some is the plan.

Could Cryptocurrency Be Given To USA As A Gift For The Stockpile?

It seems funny to blog about asking if Cryptocurrency can be given as a gift, but why not? Heck that could include even meme coins. Trump himself could gift his meme coin to the USA Government couldn't he? Why wouldn't businesses wanting to promote their crypto business not want to give a gift to USA to be included in the Strategic Stockpile? Wouldn't that be in a way a donation maybe deductible? Could the USA government count anything given as a gift to USA be a deductible on tax item? Another thing to ask and ponder.

Could this gifting also apply to meme coins? There could be meme coins that want to join in. Could you see top ones like TRUMP, BONK, DOGE AND SHIBA INU being gifted to the USA? You certainly wouldn't be using taxpayer money.

The Bible speaks of gifts this a good proverb for it:

Proverbs 18:16 (KJV) A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

So a gift could even be from other countries for the Stockpile couldn't it?
