/biz/ - Business & Finance

former homeless person here. I've been suicidal for most of my life (ever since I was 8), so I never really thought about my personal future, always believing that "I'll be dead by this time next year anyway," so I never invested my money into anything before.

This month is the first time I actually invested some of the money I get from my shitty job into things that I hope will become more valuable over time.
I put 550 Euros into physical silver, and 200 Euros into crypto. At first I regretted not putting more money into crypto instead of silver, but those regrets were forgotten once I actually held it in my hands. So nice and shiny, I love it.

Funny thing, some 10 years ago I was an early adopter (i.e. penniless user of the Bitcoin faucet) of Bitcoin when it was around $2 per BTC, but lost my wallet in a hard drive crash, and the backup on my flash drive was corrupted.
