I am slowly building my crypto too. My initial investment was on Coinbase and only a couple hundred. Now I only have a few thousand, but that's after months and months of saving.

It has been very tempting to put things on credit cards though. For example, and there are comments to prove this, I "called the bottom" on Bitcoin Cash a while back. In other people's threads, I posted about it and wished I had money to buy some. That was when it went under $200. From what I understand, it reached over $900 this weekend. It was a no brainer to buy it, but I just didn't have the extra liquid cash to do it. :(

I'm not going to risk going into debt though to gamble on crypto. Who knows what could have happened. BCH could have failed horribly.

Yes, the USA is done. It's over here. There's no graceful recovery from the debt and obligations the US government has. I'm not sure exactly what will happen, but it is going to be a huge mess. At the least we are looking at a Greater Depression.
