@fastidious Sad to see you got hit as well, but value can't only ever go up, as most of the scammers in the crypto space and Internets "financial gurus" want people to believe.
@thecanine the bet is that, at least, the market outperforms inflation, and bank's interests—which are as shitty as they can be these days. Without investments you are pretty much screwed in the US, I don't know if it is the same in the Czech Republic. I don't fixate much on their status as they are pretty much for the long run, but when they take a bigger tumble you feel it. 😩
@fastidious Inflation hit my country as much as all the rest, but at least the bank where I'm putting my money now has some interests. While it's not enough to cover the inflation, it is currently from 2.8 to 3.6 % a month, which is not too bad, considering it was not even 1% when COVID first hit.
@thecanine wow! That is an extremely good interest rate! One of our banks, Bank of America, gives 0.05%/year maximum (and that means having a lot of money on your saving’s account). As you can see, you are very lucky, and we would be very screwed if we kept any money in the bank.
@fastidious It went up this high only a month or so ago, so who knows what the future holds. These are also above average rates, that I was able to get, by moving my money to a new bank, willing to pay more. There is also a rule that if the money you have there exceeds some limit (around 32 500 dollars in this bank, less than half in the average bank), the money above the limit will not have interests this good.
