I'm sure most people know this already but I've ran into a few people today who didn't. If you have a 401k, you can borrow against it at a low rate that is payed back to your own account. This is one of the best loans you can take (instead of credit cards or loan sharks at 29% api) without tax penalty to short the dollars in your 401k and buy bitcoin long.

I did this in 2021 with $50,000. Bought it all the way down at 4% interest. It'll be paid off in mid 2026. The major difference with these loans is that your interest gets paid back into your own 401k.

thats cool, nice play.. what happens if you quit your job before its paid off to the 401k, taken from principal i imagine?

It has to be repaid in full with 90 days of termination. (My job outlook was pretty secure at the time).

fairs.. thanks for the info, my self 8 years ago before i went self employed will be sure to do it 🤣

Of course I wish I'd waited a year, but in 2021 we all knew it was going to 100k. 😂😂😂😂😭
