have you met the retirement age? if "no" then dont. if you are scared of a market decline, dont be...if there a crash, it will return after a few years.

It might return, bitcoin is going up for ever.

dont be too optimistic there buddy. if there is a major recession...ppl will dump their bitcoin for hard-cold cash. i dont know of many places that accept bitcoin over cash to pay the rent or the mortgage. we'll see how bitcoin fares during a major recession and with unemployment over +10%.

Cash is tolit paper

unfortunately, you are in the minority on that viewpoint.

Cash is toilet paper, in this conversation now you’re the minority 

Pleb not, idiot: yes.

Also if you have your 401k in bitcoin you can cash some of it out for cash.

You can not do that with your 401k as easy as you can bitcoin.

Oh holy central bank, please backstoppeth thy stock market! Amen.

I am specifically dumping my 401(k) for cash to inject capital into my company.

If I was in a place to sell my business, I would, I am in a place where I need to grow my business; my 401(k) is the easiest access to capital with the lowest tax burden 

I’m not concerned about a market crash, im not much concerned about anything, I have bitcoin.

If you still with the same employer you can't cash out you can only roll it over.. to cash out you need to leave your company.. i would tell my Financial advisor if I can't cash out I don't wanna allocate to it no more. Leave it as is. You tell him I have my own retirement plan.

I’ve been running my own company for 15 years, I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem getting it back. I just can’t wait to hear what he says!

Hes not gonna be to happy hahaa

He threw so many red flags 🚩

I pulled both of my 401ks, and bought bitcoin.

Skip the advisor would be my advise.

You posting this question tells me you know the answer already

Good luck fren

How did you convince them to let you have your own money? I tried this some years ago and couldn’t.

I told them i had a hardship. Both gave me my money, but i was no longer working.

If you are working you can ask to request a loan agsinst your own money. "Crazy" clown world

If you can not do the above

Also you can change your 401k to nobelgold.

By gold and silver

> I told them i had a hardship. Both gave me my money, but i was no longer working.

Right. They won’t give it to you while still employed. I had hoped you knew something I didn’t.

I’m self-employed, we’ll see how it goes today 😵

That’s good! You can lay yourself off, declare financial hardship, withdraw 401k, then rehire yourself after conditions improve.

I definitely know what decision I’m going to make. It’s just how to communicate it. Lol I’ve never done something like that before.

these ppl on here are giving you BAD advice. never allocate more than 5%-10% of your net worth in any single investment. that's basic diversification rules. ie. dont put all your eggs in one basket.

You’re right, I never put my family on a single boat, I put my family across multiple boats when we go on vacation. Expensive and takes more time, but at least we are diversified.

When we travel abroad, I have to decide for myself which boat I’m going to put each of my family members on, I know that some of them have holes and will start to take on water but at least we are diversified.

If 90% of your net worth is tied up in the USD, then you've made some really bad decisions in life.

Keep your 401K - the tax advantages you don't want to forfeit. There are plenty of other alternatives to save money...

Some (quick) examples:

a) Starbucks (brew it at home)

b) Lunch (brown bag you lunch)

c) Car (buy a used Honda or Toyota and keep it to 200K)

Lots more - almost everyone can find ways to decrease expenses enough to invest...

I’ve had this mindset for a while, it’s created a bit of scarcity in my life. Not a bad thing, but definitely something that I’m familiar with. If I decrease expenses anymore, it’s going to put a burden on my family which I don’t want.

What I need is an income increase! I need to generate revenue, and it’s very hard in this season

What's your business and why do you need the capital?

Yeah, instead of "Regards" end with "HFSP".

Old world still got some catching up to do. He might be managing "bit coin" for people in a short time!
