Why do you hate successful people OP? Are you a communist? Are you a socialist? People took risks that many would not to make it in crypto. Just because you cannot bring yourself into making life changing decisions due to your low IQ doesn't mean everyone who makes it is an asshole. I have friends who work harder than me, but are no where near my success. They are angry at themselves. I told them to buy, and they brushed it off.

Yep, that's why Warren Buffett, that Cuck of wall street faggot and other boomers hate it so much. They want it to fail so bad just so they can say they were smart not to touch it lol. It's pretty fucking sad.

>People took risks that many would not to make it in crypto.

spending $100 to invest in crypto in 2014 is not a risk.

>>10141671
How rich Is he exactly?

It's your fault. When he became rich in 2014, you could have thought, "Gee, let me investigate and do my own research on what he is talking about before I make my own conclusion".

But no, you used the first excuse as a confirmation bias. And don't worry, I did the same thing lol. I read about it on a forum where some guy said "It's a scam it's not backed by anything."

If only I didn't read that and I read another faggot saying DUDE IGNORE ALL FUD AND RESEARCH THIS SHIT

>>10141732
Not that rich. Maybe around 800k at the time.
>>10141750
we're saying the same thing anon. I just came to the realization of how these people think about all of this and why they won't take a risk themselves.

>>10141767
>being jealous over somebody with 800k
lmao that's like an upper middle class professional's net worth... imagine how sad your life must be to be butthurt over someone else having 800k

>>10141750

This. The first time I heard about bitcoin was around the time of the Silk Road bust I think. Didn't exactly sound legit lol. Literally didn't hear/see ANYTHING about bitcoin/crypto after that so basically just thought it died off and forgot about it lol. Last year I heard about people whining about GPU prices going up because of crypto and was like wtf? They're still around? And started looking more into it. Almost kys'd myself after I realized I should've looked into it fucking years ago lol. Fuck man. Didn't turn me into a FUDster though. I can admit I was just too fucking lazy to look into it more after I heard about the Silk Road bust. Regret it every day for the rest of my life propably.

>>10141767
That's a fucking lot for your average guy. Fuck.

>having the pleasure of knowing about BTC before it hit 1k

Fuckers. I didn't get find out about it until it was like 1.5k. Wonder if I would have invested had I the chance earlier. I like to think so. Although watching it go to 2k and higher was unbelievable the entire way. I bought and sold a bunch of times on the way up. I remember thinking 5 - 7k was the absolute top and no way it could go any higher. 20/20 hindsight.

>>10141798
Actually I remember the silk road shit, I remember talking about it and reading about it extensively my junior year in highschool. REEE WHY THE FUCK DIDNT I RESEARCH BITCOIN IT WAS IN MY FACE.

>>10141837

I KNOW MAN, FUCK. I KNOW.

>>10141861
Don't get too upset anon. We have more chances, crypto is still a baby and the blockchain has a long way to go. Keep researching and invest, right now I'm just a 22 year old boomer with no dependents so I will be taking maximum risk on what I think is good.

I knew about bitcoin a little while after it came out because I hung out an Anandtech. Thought it was stupid. Later, I met a guy and he had just lost most all of this money in the housing crisis after he bought a bunch of rental real estate near the top. Only reason he has any money left is because of short sales allowed by the banks. He then invests all of his money into bitcoin. I thought "I can't believe what an idiot this guy is. Didn't he learn his lesson the first time by losing all his monehy int he real estate crisis?" Bitcoin was about ~$10 at this point. He invested about ~150000$.

>>10141691
if op had any brains he would learn and praise them if anything. but typical 70 iq monkeys only like being around equally retarded unsuccessful people and anyone that deviates from that circlejerk is met with disdain. whats also funny for op is that he hates this guy for being successful but probably makes fun of poorfags and pajeets living on the streets for being less successful than him.

>>10141905
>the Chad investor with no fear

absolutely based

>>10141905
>Bitcoin was about ~$10 at this point. He invested about ~150000$.
I don't believe you.

>>10141888

Nice, you're young you can still make it.

>>10141905

>Bitcoin was about ~$10 at this point. He invested about ~150000$.

Tbh that WAS pretty fucking retarded imo. Sure, he got lucky this time but still going all in on on anything is fucking stupid lol.

>>10141671
Hi, beta keks:
Rich Chad here. Never paid more than $1k / btc. Paid as low as $4.95 before mt gox. Had to western union money directly to miners to acquire coins then. Too lazy to mine on my own.
Where were ur balls, OP? Why didn’t you take chances in life? Haven’t you heard, “no risk, no reward.”
Pro tip: buy bch if you haven’t already. It’s going to flip btc. All of us old school bitcoiners know this.

>>10142020
>Hey fellow goys! I'm a old-school bitcoiner just like you guys! Be sure to buy this coin that I'm shilling because that's what people who have made it do -- shill coins on an anime imageboard!

someone wrote an article about how boomers have to hate bitcoin as a defense mechanism
it challenges everything they believe in so they have to hate it or admit they are wrong and start over

>>10141707
Warren buffet invested in ibm and also other shitshows

>>10141671
>be me
>2012
>tell all my friends about bitcoin they say it's stupid
>spend all my money buying coins from bitinstant
>lose some on satoshidice spend the rest on weed

>>10142111
I honestly think this is way worse than never having touched BTC.

>>10142177
haha it's cool I was a loser for years and the nightmares I had when it ran up to 1k were mad
but I started becoming semi-serious about investing and caught the bottom around ~$250
I was the one who "made it" from bitcoin in my group of friends OP is right don't tell people they are dicks especially boomers at the cigar bar

but ironically out of my friends I'm the one who went to jail (drug possession)
I'm the one who's autistic around women
and I'm the only one who's a millionaire

>tell online friends about my crypto gains
>they‘re all somehow butthurt since then but never say why

>>10142300
This.

>>10141671
I've met a couple of people that have made a fortune from holding Bitcoin and they are the biggest fags. They got lucky that's all. One was this manlet that I shit you not looks like Bart Simpson. Made a shit ton in BTC and then put it all in ETH at like $10. You can totally tell that he never got laid in high school or college.

>>10141797
It's still a lot of money. You can buy a nice place anywhere in the country and still have money left over for other stuff.

>>10142300
my mom told my aunts and they're all like
must be nice, look at you, etc.
It's annoying talking about it, people are weird
I just take my friends and family to sporting events and still drive the same car live in the same rental and diversified the rest

I only made like 48k off the December bull run so I’m still wagecucking and putting the cash into stocks and some ether.

I drive a shuttle bus at a summer resort for boomers, they ask me what I do in the winter and I tell them that I made millions off bitcoin and only work in the summer to have a social life and help my best friend who’s the manager.

First they laugh, then I go “no really”...

Most of them must have their day ruined by it. I think it’s hilarious.

Either way op quit being such a fucking fag and get rich yourself.

I missed out when this girl told me about her mining farm in 2014. I dismissed it as a fad. If I had researched at all like I did in 2017 the years prior I would actually have been a millionaire. Such is life, there’s still plenty of fucking time.

>Get rich or die complaining

>>10141671
I just learned not to talk about myself ever. Problem solved. I don't need a fucking ego boost.

>>10141691
>I told them to buy, and they brushed it off.

nice internet larp, zoomer. you'll get there one day

>>10142664
Top kek

>>10142850
This is where it's at. Much wisdom in these words but you'll also become desensitized since you can only make meaningful connections when you share your struggles with someone and vice-versa. It's a thin line.

>>10141671
bitcoin more like buttcoin amirite lmao

>>10141946
the truth bomb has been dropped.

OP is the typical crab-bucket poor retard that would rather be contrarian because "muh feelings" instead of emulating the behavior of people that are more successful than him.

>>10141691
He's not wrong
Flaunting your wealth is for retards
Keep your fortune secret

>>10141727
>$100 in 2014
>x10-20
>You now have $1000-$2000
Fuck this BTC guy is rich with his $100 Investment. How can i be him?
