Americans are getting robbed blind in their retirement accounts.
Don't believe me? Read on π
1/ In the last decade, target date funds have taken over retirement accounts. For people who get a 401(k) through their employer, this is often the only option.
According to Fidelity, 69% of millennials are 100% invested in target date funds in their retirement accounts.
2/ These are long-term funds whose asset allocation mix 'auto-magically' becomes more conservative as the target date approaches.
Not only do all these funds take fees for reallocating your assets, they barely beat the rate of inflation.
3/ The rate of inflation over the past 3 years is 8%.
Vanguard's Target Retirement 2060 Fund had a 3-year return of 9.08%. Fidelity's Index 2060 Fund returned 11.03%.
For reference, bitcoin is up more than 500% over the last 3 years.
4/ 69% of millennials are getting charged fees to have their retirement savings outpace inflation by ~1-3% and be told they're not allowed to buy bitcoin.
7/ And one more thing -- I convinced Choice to extend their iOS launch bonus -- anyone who opens their account this week will get $50 in free bitcoin after funding.
The Miami City Commission just voted in favor of accepting $4.3 million in protocol contributions generated by MiamiCoin, which is built on top of bitcoin.
Today marks a huge day for Miami, and a milestone for crypto.
MiamiCoin mining (the first of many @minecitycoins) generated this initial $4.3 million contribution in just over 1 month since launch.
Even better: This isn't just a one-time donation: Total contributions continue to grow as the MiamiCoin protocol continues to gain usage.
.@minecitycoins is leading the way out of the crypto casino, and straight into crypto civilization.
Importantly, MiamiCoin β and all future CityCoins β are built on Bitcoin via @stacks.
