Dave Ramsey Says Crypto Is Going To Continue To Get Bigger and Better — But Investors Should Still Be Cautious
Crypto ownership in the U.S. isn't limited to tech elites or financial risk-takers anymore. According to the National Cryptocurrency Association, 21% of American adults now hold some form of crypto. Check Out: Read Next: Over the years, Dave Ramsey has taken a firm stance against cryptocurrency, advising against investing in it. In a recent appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show on YouTube, he acknowledged crypto is evolving, but his message remains to approach with caution and know exactly what kind of risk is on the table. In the interview, Ramsey said he believes cryptocurrency is going to continue to get bigger and better and 'continue to stabilize.' While he admitted that the crypto market was once a 'Wild Wild West crap show,' he now sees progress in its structure and sophistication. That progress, he said, could eventually make it safer and more legitimate. Still, the biggest problem isn't the tech, it's how people are treating it. Ramsey drew a clear line between investing and speculating. According to him, crypto belongs squarely in the speculation camp. The key difference? Investing involves long-term wealth creation. Speculation is a 'short-term play.' It's risky, it's volatile, and it shouldn't form the foundation of a retirement plan. Too often, he said, people call into his show claiming they're 'investing in crypto', but what they're really doing is gambling. Ramsey compared this to building a house with no buyer lined up: It's a 'spec home,' not a long-term rental. In his eyes, bitcoin and gold operate the same way. They don't create wealth. They just change in price because someone else wants them. One needs to look no further than the crypto crash of 2022 to see the truth in Ramsey's approach to crypto: In a domino effect, the crypto market plummeted across the board and crypto investors lost millions. Those who were over-invested in crypto lost everything. Ramsey's issue isn't with crypto's existence. It's with the way many people treat it like a golden ticket. He described hearing from 26-year-olds who put their entire net worth into bitcoin with nothing saved in retirement accounts or property. That, to him, is reckless. Instead, he argued, crypto should only be used for speculation. Be Aware: For Ramsey, the value of a true investment comes from wealth creation. He offered the examples of Apple and Home Depot, which generate profits and make products. Crypto, like gold or commodities, only rises in value because of demand. It's trading, not building. Ramsey doesn't dismiss blockchain technology or crypto's potential. But he made one thing clear: Believing in the tech doesn't mean it's smart to bet everything on it. His advice: Treat crypto like money that could go up in flames, and keep the real investments where they belong — in long-term, proven vehicles that actually create wealth.

Garcelle Beauvais' Final Move on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Was Walking Away From Cast Photo: 'I'm Out'
Garcelle Beauvais' final moments being a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member were caught on camera. In a social media sneak peek ahead of the RHOBH reunion on Tuesday, April 15, fans saw the moment the Jamie Foxx Show actress, 58, walked off the set of the season 14 reunion after the cast toast. 'I'm out,' Garcelle, who joined the cast in season 10, said in a clip shared to Bravo's Instagram account. The video began with Garcelle standing beside "friend" Jennifer Tilly as the Chucky star, 66, toasted to "friendship." Her words garnered a side-eye from Garcelle as show producer Andy Cohen thanked viewers for tuning in.

(Last year, the cast didn't have a reunion photo after Sutton left early due to illness.) "I'm out," Garcelle said as she shook her head. "I'm not. I'm not." "For real?" Andy replied. 'Nope! I'm not doing it,' she declared as she continued to walk off the stage, leaving the women and the reunion host visibly stunned. 'Garcelle, that's really unprofessional,' Dorit called out. Shortly after the reunion trailer dropped, which included a snippet of her walk-off, Garcelle addressed her exit in a surprise announcement on March 25.

"It's been a wild ride, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened — but it's been a ride nevertheless." The Wild Wild West alum — who is mom to sons Oliver Saunders, 32, and twins Jax Joseph Nilon and Jaid Thomas Nilon, both 17 — said spending time with her boys was part of her reason for deciding to leave. "One of the reasons why I'm leaving is my family, my boys. Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that. And Jaid is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that, too. And secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in — I can't tell you anything now but you'll know soon." And while she may have given a side eye in the clip Bravo shared on Monday, April 14, Garcelle assured fans there was no bad blood by thanking "the producers, the crew, and of course, the ladies." She added: "Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never know, I might pop back in sometime.'

Will Smith plays Neo in ‘Beautiful Scars' music video, announces new album
Will Smith plays Neo in a new Matrix-inspired music video for his song 'Beautiful Scars,' a collaboration with rapper Big Sean and OBanga. The video marks a long-awaited return to the sci-fi role Smith famously turned down over two decades ago. In the video, Smith takes on the role of Neo, originally portrayed by Keanu Reeves in the 1999 blockbuster 'The Matrix,' while Big Sean plays Morpheus, a role made famous by Laurence Fishburne. 'Beautiful Scars,' produced by OmArr and LeXoskeleton, delves into the struggles of fame and learning from mistakes. The song is part of Smith's upcoming solo album, 'Based on a True Story,' which is set for release in March 2025. This will be his first full-length album in over 20 years. Earlier this month, Smith posted a video on Instagram reflecting on his decision to turn down the role of Neo in 'The Matrix' back in 1997. He explained that he chose 'Wild Wild West' over 'The Matrix,' believing it was a better fit at the time. Smith also shared a message questioning how the film might have turned out with him in the lead role. In 2019, Smith elaborated on the decision in a YouTube video, revealing that the Wachowskis' unconventional pitch for the film, focusing more on innovative camera techniques than the plot, failed to capture his interest.
