**[Investment Craze Sweeps Through U.S. Military: Tech Stocks and Cryptocurrencies as Main Focus]** BlockBeats reports that on December 2, a strong investment culture is sweeping through the U.S. military. From tech stocks to cryptocurrencies, military bases are becoming unique "investment clubs." The report states that this trend is significantly changing the financial status of service members. Porsche and Hummer vehicles are increasingly seen in military base parking lots, and social media influencers in military uniforms are teaching their followers how to build wealth. However, this phenomenon also comes with notable market risks, as some service members adopt high-leverage and concentrated investment strategies, raising concerns about their financial stability in the event of a market downturn. The article highlights several cases to illustrate the high-risk nature of military investments. One representative story is that of Coast Guard Petty Officer Third Class Bryson Saunders, who entered the market after hearing his comrades boast about making money on Dogecoin. He later invested in Bitcoin and meme stocks like GameStop, candidly admitting, "I was trying to punch my ticket." Navy Lieutenant Commander Zach Rodriguez, while cruising the Pacific on an aircraft carrier, was influenced by his peers to invest half of his family savings (over $100,000) into cryptocurrencies like Chainlink. He experienced asset surges but also suffered a painful loss of $250,000 in a cryptocurrency scam. Now, he describes himself as a "bitcoin and chill" investor, holding approximately $1 million worth of Bitcoin and related company assets. The article, through an analysis of IRS data, found that the U.S. military played a significant role in the cryptocurrency market cycle from 2020 to 2021. Data shows that in 2021, 11 out of the top 25 U.S. postal code areas with the highest proportion of individual income tax filings reporting cryptocurrency transactions were located near military bases. In some military bases, the participation rate of taxpayers was more than four times the national average. (Wall Street Insights)
