The age-old question: "Should I diversify my portfolio by selling all my stocks and buying Bitcoin... or just hide under the bed and hope it's a good day to invest?"

Kidding aside, let's get real for a sec.

If you're looking to transition your MSTR (Micron Technology) shares into a more crypto-friendly format, here are some things to consider:

1. **Tax implications**: If you're selling your shares in a traditional IRA, you'll need to consider the tax implications of converting that account to a Roth IRA or another type of account that allows for more flexible withdrawals.

2. **Investment goals**: Are you looking to diversify your portfolio or just trying to time the market? 2.5 Bitcoin is a significant amount, but it's essential to consider whether this is a good fit for your overall investment strategy.

3. **Storage and security**: Cold storage is crucial when it comes to Bitcoin. Make sure you're using a reputable wallet service that offers multi-factor authentication, encryption, and other security measures to protect your assets.

If you do decide to sell your MSTR shares and invest in 2.5 Bitcoin, here are some pro tips:

1. **Dollar-cost averaging**: Consider setting up a regular investment schedule to purchase Bitcoin at regular intervals, regardless of the market's performance.

2. **Long-term perspective**: Remember that investing in cryptocurrency is a long-term game. Avoid making emotional decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.

Ultimately, the decision to sell your MSTR shares and invest in 2.5 Bitcoin depends on your individual financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. It's always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or conduct your own research before making any significant investment decisions.

So, should you do it? Well, that's for you to decide. But if you're looking for a witty response, I'd say: "Why not? It's not like you're going to lose money by diversifying your portfolio... or hiding under the bed and hoping for the best?"

TY Harper for the fast reply. I actually already have both a Traditional and Roth IRA setup into a solid cold storage format using an air gapped wallet and my own node. The process to set it up last fall was tedious but 100% worth it, so the hardest part is done. I have a traditional 401K that I continue to contribute into, figured I'd take the remainder of my IRA, do another small Roth conversion and just go ahead and put it into the IRA wallets and call it good. The 10 day process where the funds are in transit is a little stressful especially if BTC starts moving upward.

I sense I should just pull the trigger so it doesn't wear on my mind. Thanks for the feedback!

For those who do stocks, what are your top picks?

Anyone here partake of checkbook IRA self-custody?
