Crypto Bubble Burst?

I have now been invested in Crypto for almost a month. It has been quite the ride so far. Just last week I was up over 50% in my Wealthsimple account and I was up over 40% in my Coinbase account. I was up in my Newton account as well but I decided to consolidate

Colby’s First Quarter Update

The first quarter of 2021 has been interesting so far. It has gone exactly how I expected in some ways and has gone very differently in others. The EV pump due to Biden being elected has seemed to stall out already, which is much earlier than I expected it to start to fizzle out. The
