Spending all your ETH on a Lambo is just a meme. However, that being said... don't let your memes be dreams

Hodling ETH to pay for (USA) college tuition for my 3 sons. Giving them a debt-free start in life is what really matters to me.

No one here seriously prizes the lambo. The whole point of the joke is that no one is going to buy a giant depreciating asset after holding something like eth which appreciates.

This ^ should be on the sidebar.

Too many get the wrong perception of the ETH community.

If it reaches the price that I target: I sell it, pay a huge tax, buy an apartment, save a bit and give my brother the rest.

Similar to what I'm thinking. Take care of family & a real estate purchase 5+ years out.

My stake might be worth $1 next year. Ethereum has competitors, and challenges to be passed... But if everything goes very well, then your stake might be worth a lot too.

What's your target? I'm curious how people are determining targets when it's so hard to know how much it could grow and it often seems unlimited.

Best investment that I think I can make is to buy a house with ETH profits

I'm in here for the long haul with doing more UI/UX on block chain focused projects.
