To Bitcoin or Not to Bitcoin?: That is the Question
WHY: This is a cosmically favored time to be interested and asking yourself this crypto-related question.
WHAT: The following is MY OPINION as an ordinary person who, (full disclosure), is significantly invested in
crypto. This is NOT professional financial advice. I am sharing about MY experience. And, for clarity sake, I
want to state that it is NOT advice that Jill DiSalvo, our esteemed accountant and financial advisor agrees and/or disagrees with.
WHEN: Now! Cosmically, we are at the beginning of the innovative Age of Aquarius. It started on January 20,
2025 when Pluto entered the sign of Aquarius where it will remain for the next 20 years.
WHERE & HOW: To find information if you want to learn more.
Introduction: WHY This is a Good Astrological Time to Make Money Related Decisions
On Thursday January 30, 2025 Uranus the planet that rules Aquarius, which is the current placement of the Sun,
turned direct (stopped retrograding). Uranus is in the sign of earth sign Taurus. Aquarius being all about
innovation reveals it is timely to think about crypto, the current innovative iteration of money. As this time also
involves Taurus, and, as it is an earth sign, this means it is a good time to address practical matters. Innovation
in money related issues is cosmically, energetically and appropriately front and center now. Uranus started
retrograding in 5 months ago in early September. Despite that Uranus will now be moving forward, the influence of the retrograde will actually last until Uranus starts moving beyond the point where it progressed to before it turned retrograde. This forward motion into new territory does not happen until early May. Consequently, now until early May will be a favored time to re evaluate your relationship to innovation in the realm of money and finances.
WHAT: My Opinion of and Experience with Crypto
In 2018, based upon the advice of a mundane astrologer, (the branch of astrology that deals with geo-political
issues), I started investing in crypto. It was complicated and scary. The idea of sending several thousands of dollars to buy crypto off into thin air cyber space, was freaky. I paid someone with expertise to help me. I was cautious and conservative in my crypto choices. This means my primary investment was in Bitcoin, (the blue chip crypto). I also purchased a small number of altcoins. I have continued to invest about 20 percent of my crypto holdings in coins that are generally considered more risky than Bitcoin but still relatively conservative. I have stayed away from searching for the hugely speculative and highly risky coins. With the exception one altcoin purchase that tanked, the crypto I have bought has gone up in price significantly.
At the time I began this journey I, as a person with several decades of being self-employed, had unfortunately
not planned well for retirement. My crypto financial planning choice was admittedly high risk as I was seeking
to course correct. To my delight it has turned my financial retirement situation around such that I now feel I can rest assured that I am financially OK in my senior years. Because I am investing for the long term I am what is known as a HOLDer. This means I am Holding On for Dear Life. For the 5 plus years, (since I invested in crypto) I have confronted an ever-present wish to be able to reassure myself that it was and is OK for me to be at high risk. Thus, I have been highly motivated to educate myself about crypto. Consequently, I have watched hundreds of Youtube videos on the topic. Additionally, I have read a daily newsletter on the subject matter.
