Two weeks ago, I sold all the stocks and crypto from my portfolio. It had quite a big response on Twitter. Why did I do it? Am I afraid of what Trump might still do? Yes. Am I afraid that Trump could eventually be the cause of bitcoin's end? A little. But the main reason is continuing to search for property abroad and my uncertainty about the future development of tech companies. I've always only invested in companies that I at least somewhat understood. In the coming years, several technologies will intersect that could fundamentally change our entire world. AI + quantum computers + robotics + vr/xr/ar (should I write more about this?). And right now, I can't bet on who will win.
So we'd rather be warming ourselves somewhere at the end of the world than stressing about American stocks and the geopolitical situation.
