I retweeted a tweet and said he was my hero. He responded with thanks and it went from there. He in my mind is truley for the little guy.
 
For everyones information, bitcoin diamond successfully completed its fork. Diamond is currently $86 on the futures market. Bitcoin Gold is now occupying the 5th spot on coinmarket cap at $368. Bitcoin tokens now hold 3 of the top 5 positions.

Can you explain that to someone dumb like me

You sir are not dumb at all. You are into crypto now so you will be considered an early adopter. There is so much to know and learn.
As far as these forks go- if you hold btc (which I assume you do because I think you use coinbase) you are entitled to any fork off the main chain while you are the holder. Some exchanges just take a shot of your holdings right before the fork to award the proper amount of tokens to you. 1 btc=1 of the new tokens. Some of these tokens will take time to see how viable they are and if they have a following or if miners are mining them. If there is a market they will eventually be given to you via a new ticker on coinbase or in an email. Same thing they did with ethereum classic when they split.

Does that only apply to whole coins? I put $200 into bitcoin last week just to see what it would do. Will this fork grant me whatever fraction of a bitcoin I own of the new token?
 
listen to whalepool on YouTube. It’s. A wealth of knowledge. They do price action calls, talk crypto and just plan old bs.

Best part is that it’s live 24/7.
 
I wish I had gotten in earlier. A friend talked me out of buying bitcoin when it was about 2k. I ended up getting in at 5k, I also picked up some eth when it was at 250. I'm really happy with the eth.

I stayed out because I didn't understand it. I still don't, but I decided to just put some of my fun money in and learn as I go. It's not even been five days and I've gained 10%.

I don't really know what I'm doing and fully acknowledge I'm probably one of the suckers required to inflate a bubble. Not willing to put in more than I can stand to see disappear at this point.
 
Is there a way to transfer traditional retirement funds into crypto? Would be cool to put some pre-tax dollars to work on this. Or at least shift some of what's there over to btc.
 
Google says Fidelity is now setup to view your Coinbase holdings. I dunno if that also means you can transfer between the two platforms, but that'd be pretty neat if you could.
 
What happens when there is a successful fork? Will Fidelity give it to you or keep it. If you use an exchange, or Fidelity they hold your private key.

And this is how most folks will get into crypto, which negates one of its strongest inherent traits. The individual should control their private key and therefore their money.
