not great... i find my life incredibly tiresome frens

>>17061835
investments are tanking right now, only bright spot is leaving my wage cuck job for one that pays slightly better and will be far less tiresome.

I tell myself I can make it to 2022, and that being alone all the time is ok, but I can tell from the rare occasions where I have a good time with people in the real world that I am really hurting from all of this isolation.

>>17061835
Not so good, been having a bunch of issues with friends lately. Close friend of mine is hitting up this girl I've been hitting on for a while. All my other friends are busy living lives and I'm just finding my only enjoyment with my car. I tend to hang around /biz/ more when I'm sad. Fuck the money, you guys are frens.

slowly dying from a disease, gambling away my life savings. it's beautiful outside, but i can't get out. stuck with you here morons.

>>17061897
I know your feel man, I thought money could make me happier and ignore my loneliness. A good friend doesn't have a price though. Also pick up some hobbies to keep you distracted. Hobbies are a good way to feel like you are accomplishing things, and you'll meet good friends in the act

Surviving but I'd rather be thriving if you know what I mean.

>>17061835
Pretty bad. I have been stuck in a shutty job that I was promised a promotion out of months ago, and my oneitis just stopped acknowledging my existence immediately after telling me after we had sex that she was super happy to start dating me. I still don't know what the fuck happened. I felt on top of the fucking world after she told me that and then she just hasn't communicated with me since and it's been a week. I usually don't let myself get hurt by stuff like that but I really really REALLY fucking liked that girl ;_;.

>>17061940
Damn bro, just stay busy. If she's worth a damn, she'll reach out. Maybe you should ask your higher ups at work what happened with that promotion?

I don't got friends, I'm building my life up back from $0 this year, I'm not lonely and fuck kikes fuck niggers fuck spics fuck trannies fuck trannies and FUCK THOTS

>>17061835

3.5 roentgen meme has been my life for the past few years

Closing in on day 7 nofap, building confidence, making rough plans, trying to enjoy discipline, throwing myself at opportunities. I need more mental torturing and need to break the conditioning. I need to keep up the positive thoughts and stay on my vibe.
>I can feel it
>I can taste it
>My singularity is near
It's like an engine, in fact, that's exactly what it is. The engine. I had it around my child years, but then it coughed coughed coughed and gave in. For the past 5 or so years I've been fixing this engine. Every month or two I turn the key to the ignition.
>Cough
>Spit
>Rev up
>Fail
Then it's back to the drawing board. I know I have it in me. I'm crying as I write this. I know I have it and I know I can do it. I know I can I know...

>>17061835
I have a plan to escape all of this.
But itll take sums of money that are inconceivable for me right now, you know having more than 1/2k to spend at once, the money I see people talking about on here is a fairytale.
and probably for the rest of my life, im in the poverty trap, wagie who has to keep on waging as theres no fallback, already been homeless and slept rough once, refuse to go back.

we arent all making it

>>17062029
Is that tomorrow? Goddman it, the fucking normalfags who live in the apartment above me have been screaming and stomping all goddamn football season like "OHHHH!!!! WHAAAT???!?!!?! DUUUUDE!!!!!"

Have 8k in stocks with 60k assets built up but can’t part with since it’s stuff that’s supposed to be used as a last emergency fund. Want to split a cheap house in PA with my gf and fuck off from the world

>>17061835
Not too bad. BTC is on the verge of making a higher high on the weekly above 9.5k. The weekly chart has never lied for BTC, it has signaled all the major macro trends in bitcoin's history. The halving is less than 100 days away now.

We could very well be on the verge of the beginning of another multi year crypto bullrun. Crazy times ahead my friends. I think I'm one of the few anons still around from 2017, but I'm proud to say I stuck it out with all of you. We're all gonna make it.

>>17061835

Waiting. Always waiting. For my time to shine. The day feels cold and my bones feel old. But I see it ahead, before me, aghast a pale moon. I see for me to claim what is rightly mine.

>>17063691

Wasted money on drinks with coworkers after work, wasted a ton of money on uber eats just now for a bunch of shitty junkfood that's already making me feel like fucking garbage. Drunk and high, and I feel like I'm slowly killing myself with my poors habits, while I waste away at wageslavery , because I can't seem to find the ambition to do anything better. I keep telling myself it'll change, but it doesn't fucking happen.

>>17063691

levelled my alt today

very fulfilling

I came back from my cousin's home to see their first-born kid and their new home. What a cute kid. I hope things will be okay.

I've been sitting in my room since contemplating about what on earth I'm going to do. The Corona Virus scared off all the Chinese, my main customer base for my wares and soon the bills are piling on. Its starting to snow, I'm praying for a cure and good weather this month.

>>17061835
Sorry to break the sadfag train, but I'm doing wonderful! Life is actually the best its ever been! I'm net positive each month about 3-4x my expenses, and only "work" 15 hours a week. I recently moved to essentially the top of a mountain, cause fuck society, and life is zen as fuck. Got a fat ass crypto nest egg that soon will be worth enough to buy a house outright :) I think I'm winning at life?

>>17064068
Good for you

>>17064098
Thanks mate, it hasn't come without risk, though. I've moved countries 4 times now, I think? Lots of trial and error with money making online. Big risk, big reward! I wouldn't change a thing, just happy I excited the matrix for good. Shits real, and it WILL consume you.

>>17061961
I am your fren, fren

>>17063691
Am around from 2017. Let's fucking do it, anon.

>>17061835
I spent a big chunk of today working on art for my video game. Im really stressed as getting the art just right really gets my ocd going and intrusive thoughts just blaze up. Thought I finally finished it after trying to get the right color scheme for hours. Everything else was already set up besides a few minor things. Learn something as I'm testing it out. Back to the drawing board as I have to redo this as it does not scale well in the reverse. Spend several hours. Comes out crummy as I clearly start rushing it. Realize something simple I could do and only have to redo small but fine parts. Trash the crummy new copies. Work on new idea. A few hours later, success. Mashed some of the stuff quickly even though it looked bad but the more intricate stuff was done. Did this so I can immediately test it out. Reeeeeeee I dont like how it looked and worst I realized about scaling the art in a different manner!!!!!!!! I wasted maybe 10+ hours only to realize I forgot about the other scaling method. Do a little bit of fiddling. It works. Reeeeeeeee. I wasted all that time when I couldve just used the art I altered the color scheme of earlier today for better looking design then fully redesigning it because of a scaling issue!!!!!! Coding doesn't get me this worked up but I've done enough coding and the next step would be better of in having the art done first to proceed further before a little bit of coding.

Good I guess. Bought some ICX which I hope will go beyond the fucking moon eventually. Also my dog had to be put down last week after 14 years of being my best friend, which kinda sucked.

Anyone else think being born just a little bit earlier, like 5 years, would have helped tremendously?

>>17061835
Anons I need your help.

There is this girl who is really into me. She has low body count, is healthy and doesn't drink or smoke. She is pretty but I don't find her that attractive, however for all of her other qualities I have been thinking about it. However I kind of feel like I could do better if you know what I mean, since I would be dating down, but at the same time I appreciate how hard it is to find a nice girl these days... It's been so long bros since I've been in a relationship and I think I need the companionship to end this loneliness.

What would you do fren?

>>17065020
as much as society and other males might have you think, sex and looks isn't the top priority. Sure, it's nice to have a banger of a girl, but they're typically crazy / not good companions long time, and they'll always hold that over your head, "I'm so hot", type shit.
fuck thots, don't date/life.
date/longterm smart/relatable women who have their shit together. Find someone who empowers you and vise versa, mutual power ups are the goal, imo. anyways, I'm rambling, but I've made it in life, just trying to help an anon.

>>17061901
have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

This goes for all of you /biz/fags too

>>17065089
I know and I agree with you, but at the same time I think physical attraction is definitely important to a relationship

>>17063844
not really into that. thanks, i guess, wish you something nice too

>>17064119
What do you do online fren?

>>17063691
What're you holding bloomer?

I feel underpaid for my education and background, but I am comfy where I am at and dont wanna look for a new job until I've worked here for a year or so.

I'm frustrated because if I want to build a small emergency fund, it is going to take me almost a year to hit 3 months if I want to keep paying my student loan down and investing in crypto. To add to that matter even further, i work a part time job at a grocery store and it is for this reason that I can't bring myself to quit. I look back and regret not being frugal for the past year, I have pretty much no excuse for being as poor as I am now. So, I've now worked two jobs for two years, and feel too burned out to keep going on like this, but feel like I must. It's pretty self destructive. I wanted to finally get a new car soon since I'm spending so much keeping my shitbox going. Fuck,.... What do I even do? 3200 a month, 900 a month in rent, 650 in student loan payments, only leaves me with 1600 a month for everything else. Guess as an engineer, just frustrates me. Guess I could refinance again and swap to a longer term, see how the next election goes. The flip side on this all as well is that my other job basically gets me 100 bucks everytime I work, so 400 bucks a month. Hard to walk away from it, especially knowing I waste my weekends.

>>17065792
From USA, lived in Sweden, Netherlands, and Portugal.

USA Pros:
Honestly, it's hard to come up with some, it's a big ass country so you can drive in any direction and be in a new setting / lifestyle, which is kinda cool. You can tote guns, which for some is a plus.
Everyone speaks on language, which I guess is a plus (After traveling a lot, communicating can be difficult)
CONS:
The matrix is fucking real, everyone is focused on fucking each other so they can buy $10,000 Gucci socks because they're actually unironically retarded. The game is rigged as fuck in the USA. It's GG, you're going to lose, slave your life away working 40-60 hours a week for jack shit.

Sweden Pros:

Organized as fuck, the people are extremely intelligent and decently well off (both monetarily & in a natural sense).
You can stay south in some nice cities, or head north and see some serene shit, remote villages with very simple lifestyles, which is super refreshing.
The swedes overall are good people, lots of history too.
police are ultra nice, and actually want to legitimately help you, not scam you out of monies.

CONS:
It's cold as FUCK, and the winters are DARK and LONG. You will actually get depressed come winter, and buy crazy amounts of alcohol, candy, and other junk food to cope.
Swedes are pretty reclused, and the language is a little difficult, thus it's hard to make friends.
Shits kind of expensive?

Netherlands Pros:
Weed is completely normal, you smell and see it like it's nothing. You can also grow up to 4 plants for yourself with no legal worries.
Dutch people are more friendly than Swedes and Americans, and are very straight forward, which is nice.
Nederlands was rebuilt during the war, so most of the major cities and structures are relatively new, which is cool.
police are ultra nice, and actually want to legitimately help you, not scam you out of monies.
CONS:
It's super flat, which is boring as shit.
Shits kind of expensive?

>>17065961
cont.
Portugal PROS:
The people are super warm and welcoming. Everyone smiles, greets, and waves, and actually cares for each other.
Crime rates are some of the lowest in the world, hardly any cops at all, you can leave your doors unlocked and shit, which is nice.
Shit is SUPER cheap. My rent (currently) is €300 a month internet included.
A bottle of wine is €2, dinners out for two, €10-€20, you get the point.
If your a burger, there's a ton of tax breaks here, which allow you to basically pay 0% tax for 10 years.
The weather is literally California weather, which is fucking perfect.
Hardly any natural disasters minus a few brush fires here and there.
I could go on, but this shit's turning into a book.

CONS:
THE FUCKING DOGS ARE ALWAYS BARKING, EVERYWHERE.
Portuguese people need to take care of their fucking dogs, my god.
If you live anywhere decently remote, you'll need a car for sure. Trains and buses are a thing, as most countries in the EU have superb transportation.

It's taken me 4 years of moving around and selling everything from my home country to figure this shit out, take it for what you will anon :)

Well, you can plan as much as you want, but you will surely run into roadblocks. I wanted to get a visa in Sweden, and that was our first stop, 88 days in we hit a border check and the aurhoties basically said "you need to leave within 2 days", mfuckingfw.
Save money, try to start figuring out how you're going to generate income abroad, and try to figure out which type of visa you want to apply / fit the requirements for. Hope that helps, have any other questions, just ask.

>>17067884
Side note, the most important part, something I absolutey and entirely forced my girlfriend and I to hold true to was firstly buying plane tickets, secondly getting on that fucking plane. Everything else we figured out after.
It takes massive balls, but trust me, the reward is fucking worth it 1000%. Great risk, better rewards imho.

I really appreciate the response. I have a pretty decent CV with a good deal of experience, but even so I've found the job market to be really competitive in Europe and companies seem to want Europeans instead of foreigners for work. Either that or my skillset is not as good as I like to think it is. Anyway, so, say we (I also have a spouse, with a good career) have no apprehensions about just jumping on a plane and going, and we have enough money to hold us over until the simple staying visa runs out - what the fuck do we do once we get there? Could I hypothetically get a job at a McDonalds and use that as my anchor? Probably, not, right? And while I am there what do I do? I am assuming first focus should be walking into every firm and asking for a job? Or should we go for a non-work integration route?

>>17063691

>>17065998
how was your social life in all of these places? Were/are your friends mostly other english teachers or did you also manage to make a lot of local friends along the way?

Appreciate you taking the time to share btw, interesting stuff

>>17067979
you're welcome, I feel like I've semi-made it so I'm trying to pass the knowledge on.
It all depends on what type of visa you get, and where. For example, in the Netherlands we got the "DAFT" visa, which allowed us to start our own company, which was expensive all and all. However, we could not work for anyone else, or take advantage of the socialist system. Some places, like Portugal, are much more friendly to foreigners because they are a bit poorer. As someone who can support myself, I was able to apply for the D7 visa which allows you to stay for 1 year, and after 5 years leads to EU citizenship.
If you are a skilled worker, and so is your spouse, (or highly educated) a lot of countries are much more welcoming to your (Sweden, Netherlands, other 1st world EU countries)
I do not have any education above a high school level (cucked America is cucked), so that makes things tricky.
There are a ton of visas out there you may or may not qualify for, do your research and apply for them. Fill out the paperwork, etc etc etc.
One nice thing is that if you're in the EU, and you apply for a visa and it's "pending" you're allowed to stay in the EU until a decision is made, and sometimes it takes a long time for the decision (past the 90 days Schegan default visa)
>>17068100
social life was very low, we typically would meet our immediate neighbors, but not much beyond that. The fact that we're "loners" of sorts, and didn't speak the language makes social life difficult. In the same note we didn't really try, I guess that's why we live on top of a mountain now with like 2 neighbors in a 5km radius lol

>>17068535
Ah man, that is my fucking dream. Just live atop a mountain and lead a clean, healthy comfortable life. I am genuinely and truly happy for you anon, you got out there and you made your dreams a reality. Appreciate the advice. Why the fuck do they make it so inherently difficult for working class whites to make it over there, while promoting permanent asylum for all the shitskins? So fucking stupid. My plan right now is to spruce up my resume and build experience for another year, then start sending out requests to companies for a work visa sponsorship. Failing that, I will use my savings to go for an extended stay and try for any other available option. Oh, there is a bit of a rub here - my spouse has a citizenship to a shitty 2nd world eastern EU country, I reckon that will make things loads easier.

>>17061901
whats wrong fren?
>>17061898
its gonna be alright in the end fren.

>>17068704
dreams only become a reality if you're willing to take risks and get the fuck out there. It's so easy to sit behind a computer screen for decades, it's an entirely another thing to drop everything and get outside of your comfort zone, but as I said before the risk is well worth the reward.
I'm off for the night, I wish you well on your adventures, set dates, quit pussy footing, and get to it boy, you only get one life, dont fuck about. life is one giant chess board, think about your next 4 moves, or beyond if you can.
see you space cowboy o7

Unfortuntlately finding quality girls in the West is really really tough now, better chances in Central Europe(Hungary,Poland,Czech,Slovak) lot of them are still based. Probably same in South America.
I wouldn't do it if you dont find her sexy enough, did it a few times and max I could do are a few months. Must have great attraction for everything else to work. Thats the foundation on which the whole relationship is built, anyone who tells you otherwise lies.

Sweden sounds pretty nice, I'd prefer Finland as I'm mire knowledgeable about it's wilderness. I like the cold as well. How do you go about moving to such a place. I know if youre European it's extremely easy to move between any European country BUT going from North America to Europe is hard as heck (unless you're rich in which case you just pay your way in) especially considering I'd probably also have to learn the language.

Advice on moving to Sweden/Finland as I like the nature aspects of the northern half of those countries along with very few people being there?

>>17070124
Finns are generally very good with English, so you don't have to worry about that.

>>17068535
>why we live on top of a mountain now with like 2 neighbors in a 5km radius lol
Lol i think ive seen you post elsewhere on biz. Portugal sounds nice but dogs piss me off when they just keep on barking. I have a college education,but hace not had any of those high level jobs most of these visa generally require. Have you found any loopholes that let you bypass the hard requirements?

I got my heart broken but am slowly recovering.

Not very much.
Im feeling like im falling into an other period of depression time.
No movement in life, constancy is basically taking me down.
Not much money as cash flow to retire from my 3 shift work.
Also tip of my dick is hurting (which i guess is the result of unprotected blowjob from a ons last year in summer) took some antibiotics and right after i stop taking it i developed huge side effects.
The very night i stoped taking antibiotics (cuz dose went empty) my body felt like it was diying.
Still my dick tip is tickling and i dont feel cured at all.
Hate my life

Everything is good.
Recently healed from my 15 year long depression.
Wife loves me.

Put a small part of my portfolio in bitcoin.
I simply enjoy the day trading, fully accepting that I will lose everything I put on at some point.

Halfway through a law degree but I hate it and I hate the work I have done in law firms
Don't know what to do with my life
Last year was a complete waste, gambled around 50k away, stopped lifting and gained 15kg
Just got back from a 2 month long holiday that was amazing and now sad I have to uni cuck the rest of the year
Might have the fucking chinese virus because I was in china for 3 weeks

Kind of fucked lads, only thing I am fixing now is my body, dropped all drugs (dexies, xanax and zopiclone to help me work) bad food and hitting the gym daily plus 10km bike ride. Already losing weight, should be shredded in a few months

We met at a factory. student jobs when we were 20.
She was an engineer, I was nothing, just finished high school.
She pushed me to start studies again, by her mere presence, not saying a word.
Got a master's degree. I owe her my happiness. She basically saved me from myself.

>>17061897
fuck i just experienced this last night. took some shrooms with a friend and went and saw some live music. looked at all the people having fun and communicating with each other. pretty girls with friends and boyfriends dancing together. and then theres my fucking life. so today feeling down

Terrible.
Still trying to figure out how taxes work on coins since I can’t afford to sit around and do nothing when I’ll probably pay the price later.
I wanna go back to 2016 bros. That year was better. At least it wasn’t as bad as the first month if this decade.

>>17061835
i moved to a new city 2 years ago for a new job. left friends and family behind. had only $150 in my bank account, a laptop from 2005 w/ a minimal linux distro, and an air mattress to sleep on for 6 months.
finally got my own apartment, etc. so i can start focusing on paying off debt.but the loneliness is killer. some shit happened a few years ago, i dont want to get into it but i really dont trust people anymore. finding new friends and dating would be nice but i'm not going to get burned again.

good luck /biz/. the important things in life are good friends and family. don't neglect the people that are really important in your life. money is just a tool but won't make you happy.

>>17061940

>>17061835
I moved out of the parents place last month into my own place. Ijust cut my second (((mortgage))) payment. It's a little over $1,900 before utilities and HOA etc. I fucking love the freedom, but on my salary it's tight. even with a roommate paying $900/month. I did however just submit my final package to the state licensing board to get my RE Appraising License. Should they accept that and I pass the exam, I'll be able to do fee appraising on the side, which will be minimum $350/per appraisal. Between moonlighting with fee appraisal and a little over 34K in LINK, I think I'll be good. At this point, I've got to grind it out and save up as much money as I can for any house stuff, a new car, etc. I just want LINK to moon so I can quit my job and fuck off to South America and live a comfy life with a trophy wife and a garage with a Ferrari 308 and multiple cafe racer motorcycles. Wish me luck bros.

I feel sad for them though. Doomed to a life of mediocrity. They will never make it.

>>17061835

Hey OP thanks for asking - hope you are doing well. Sometimes you finish a chapter of your life and sometimes you finish a whole book. I feel like I'm on the last sentence of the first book of my life.

Hope anons can all see the brighter things in life, it’s not all so bad as we make it out to be some times.
Look at all the things you’re lucky to have: health, mobility, love and friendship. And how lucky you are to be here, as early adopters.

Things have never been more optimistic!

>>17061835
I recently lost all stability from my family. Realizing I'd be scraping the bottom of the barrel with my job and going nowhere fast, I decided to leverage everything I could of myself to try and make something more. So, using the luck that I had managed to build good credit, I've been opening and spending on 0% APR credit cards to live while taking that same money Id have paid it off in full with and dumping it into crypto. I figure if when I cash out it beats the shitty 2% banks could offer its something. So I'm gambling my future, which I figured was bleak regardless, on digital monopoly money and so I spend my time here with people who are on that same path for their own reasons. I like the banter. I like the memes. And I really hope even you biggest faggots make it.

>>17071590
i dont know man. it just seems like you need to figure out what to do in your life. no easy task. but all in all, from what you wrote, if you can solve that your life will improve alot.

>>17061897
yeah, socializing is important. I don't do it enough. but people who I know that do are always happier people. then there's me trying to study for a better future and gambling on hitting it big on some fake internet money.

if it wasn't for the possibility of a better future, I would probably kill myself. but it's all probabilities, I feel the need to stack those odds in my favor

>>17071861
i dont know anon. Im an artist due to my terrible upbringing and have made pretty cool art but i would trade it all to just have some normie relationships and shit. i dont know whats better.

on my death bed, im glad i lived the life i did because i got to know life on a level most dont. but i also wish i had more relationships and friendships and sheet

>>17071861
hate to tell you anon but they've already made it if they're out enjoying their life with friends and girlfriends/boyfriends

>>17071732
that takes alot of balls anon. good for you.

>>17069840
You're walking a dangerous road. If free will was suddenly removed to prevent evil and you knew a day before it happened, you would also be mad. You're not going to be happy either way. You just want things you're way.

Read the Holy Bible anon. I recommend starting from the New Testament. It's not too late to be saved, you're still alive and haven't tasted the first death.

>>17061835
oh, and I'm doing okay. I keep neglecting to work out but financially, I'm set in a very good way.

All my non-student/non-car debt will be paid off in two years based on a financial plan I designed. I have an effective 3% interest rate on all of my credit card debt. My bonus is coming in on the 14th and I'll be able to knock a big chunk out of it for good.

>inb4 spend it on crypto
I'm actually satisfied with my holdings. it's enough. The only thing i would spend money on at this point would be LINK or BTC, just because it's a certainty.

>>17063691
same here fren. it's been a rough few years but it made me mentally tough. we're all gonna make it.

>>17069840
anon think of it like this. in the grand scheme of galaxies forming and dying. Human suffering is inconsequential. it only really matters to us. Our death is part of nature and the natural cycle. GOD, if it exists, is posited to exist outside - eternal. where all things, dualities come together as one. to question the nature of God because suffering exists is ego-based. Death is a natural part of life, just as suffering is. suffering makes you live, it gives you reason to want to live - until it doesnt. in which case death is an escape from suffering. we are small in the grand scheme.

>>17063282
Can relate to the engine thing

>>17071989
i just wish i had enough confidence to go out and be social again. i'm not a sperg but i'd rather just be left alone, even if it hurts.

>>17071861
does it really matter if they're living a life of mediocrity if they are truly having fun while you are "living the superior life" while depressed as fuck? stop coping and better yourself.

>>17063282
I fucking hate this picture. Stop posting it, faggots.

>>17072246
i bet its easier to be alone than go out.

>>17072340
this. at 31 i realized that whats important is relationships. nothing else matters. i just wanna have some deep laughs with some good friends while knowing they will be there tomorrow and next year or for the rest of my life. fuck! being alone sucks no matter what you do,

>>17065016

Sometimes yes... On the other hand, I would have graduated right when the last recession started so yeah...

I wanna die. I think I suffer from PTSD. I've been denying it for awhile now but I have a hard time functioning. The spiral has been going on for months. I'm seeking help later on this week. I could care less about the money man. I just want her back. I want someone to care. I hate this shit country I live in.

>>17072553
your thought processes are fucked. I've experienced relationships, friendships and the autistic pursuit of money and the latter is without a doubt most important.

>ptsd because of a girl

Walked off the longest job I've held (2 years) and got hired for a new one. After 3 months I'm already daydreaming/fantasizing about escaping it all or running away somehow.
It's so hard to do this no matter how much they pay me, I feel like a slave.

>>17061835
2020 is the best year of my life so far. Making good progress.

I used to be comfy and was learning how to day trade, wanted to make 500k ish then fuck off to a beach house in mexico and live out the rest of my days, then i came across some russian film student on instagram and she fucked me up, now i want to become a millionare just to dm her on instagram and take her all over the world and hopefully she falls in love with me, this girl who has no idea who i am is the only reason i get up in the morning and work my ass off everyday. Now that i think about it this is a recurring theme in my life, ill start something like going to the gym, with the motivation of women, and then overtime I just lose that motivation, but its too late because he habits and discipline are already there, why I workout now and have been for 3 years now? I have no idea, but i can tell you i will feel like shit if i dont. Worst case scenerio if i get any money whatsoever its all just spent on cocaine and russian hookers. I dont even fucking speak russian but will start learning soon i guess

Tldr my life depends on a russian girl being single and responding to my dms in 5 years

>>17073368
should kys right now my dude

>>17061835
Reading all these inspiring stories of anons who have been through tough times and still didn't give up and are on the way to making it really cheers me up!
For me, life has ups and downs right now. Just came back home from a cruise ship contract and suffering from severe reverse culture shock. Coming from an environment where everything is fast paced, where there's always something happening and there are always people around you, coming back to my isolated small town home is really hard for me. I have changed so much in this time, but in here everything is still the same, it's actually making me a bit depressed.
Even though the cruise ship has been the best time of my life and the first time I've been genuinely happy after years of depression, I know I can't keep doing this because it will lead me nowhere in life and with every new contract i'll take, it'll be harder to adapt back to living life on shore.
So I'm applying for a shitton of jobs rn and if everything else fails, I'll be starting a master's later this year.
I'm trying to find something where I can travel a lot because keeping on moving and always being in new places is what's genuinely making me happy.
I'm pretty optimistic right now, because this whole experience showed me that there's things out there that can truly make me happy and all it takes is my effort to go out there and make the effort to search for them.
We're all gonna make it!
Thanks for reading my blog.
Also hodling btc, eth, link and pnk rn, relatively new to crypto, I'm kinda late to the party.
Not even hoping to become a multimillionaire but to be able to buy a house in a few years.

I was happy, I have a gf and a job that gives me 8 hours a week. However after a year of basically living on bread and milk I am so urgently depressed. I can't save up for anything and I need to pay rent. My car is breaking down every week. So much lost money. I just at least want link to go to 8$ I won't be rich . Link would need to go to 1000 for me to even be near acceptable.I put my 21st birthday money in link last year.

>>17073459
Also my gf is trying to sabotage me I think. She keeps insiting for raw sex over condom bc she is on the pill but I cannot have a child. She locks me into having sex with her. Otherwise we dont for maybe a month. My parents hate me. I was diagnosed with aspergers after school and I think it might actually be add. My dad calls me lazy and used to throw my computers and xboxs on the road and smash them when I would question him and my mum is a whore. I'm trying to turn to jesus but who knows. The drugs don't work. I've done everythig. Alchohol doesnt woork just makes me feel sick

>>17073421
i think looking at charts all day may have led me to officially lose my shit

>>17073538
You lost your shit long ago

I need a job really fucking bad.

BEING A NEET IS NOT A VIABLE LIFESTYLE.

>>17061835
Destroyed my phone today.
I have really bad anxiety when something like this happen because it shakes my budget.
Living and hoping that one day we'll make it.

>>17073544
yea ive always been like this, for some reason i dont feel anything, maybe it hasnt processed yet?who the fuck knows

>>17071021
Same thing happened to me. My dick hurts for no reason sometimes. Ran ever test. Nothing. I'm guess pinched nerve. Been years now it doesnt phase me. Dont let it get to you. For some reason men get depressed if their penis sensations are slightly off. Dont fall for it

>>17061835
I spent everything I earned this week, and a little more on crypto. It hurt, but I'm willing to take the risk because this life sucks. Bought some silver too. I feel like I'm teetering on the edges of sudoku, might as well go all in since I have nothing left to lose. Get rich, or literally die trying.
In other news, I'm thinking I should learn code and a new language, possibly move to Europe. I could cash out my crypto there and avoid 'Murican grubberment axing what little I make already. My mom is also suicidal, suffers from PTSD. She went through very traumatic shit in her past, like rape for several years by a family member to her and her brothers. She's always wanted to move to Italy and she's leaning the language sporadically. I've never seen her as productive as she is right now in her life. My dad was an abuser that locked her in the home. She just spent her life watching Netflix otherwise it would lead to broken things if she perused anything else. Seeing her take an interest in other cultures makes me proud of her. Saving up money to take her is the only thing keeping me going.
I'm too prideful, but I've been pondering the idea of being an e-thot. I've been told I'm attractive enough to do it. I'd be able to reach my goal faster than what I am now, but frankly I think the ship has sailed. It's not worth as much since Insta is filled to the brim with this bikini cosplay sewage.

>>17063282
we all need to collectively stop showing up to work. stop taking on debt. stop being a consoomer.

just make sure you hold some LINK

>>17073843
I considered it, but couldn't bring myself to buy it. What's the appeal? It would take years to go up to a point where it's worth selling. You can only ever trade it for low cost coins if you want to profit.

#1 at the top of the bull run isn't good enough for you? that's multi-trillion market cap.

how long have you been on this board? do you know anything about LINK or not at all? I'll type out a thing if you're gonna read it.

wrote something out in another thread but the warosu archive doesn't search in 2020

>>17073856
>>17073970
>You can only ever trade it for low cost coins if you want to profit.

and what do you mean by this? are you under the illusion that coins that cost $0.000007 or similar are better than coins that cost, say, $700? because the price of a coin/token has nothinf to do with its growth potential.

>>17073104
disagree anon

>>17073856
BTC was the first decentralized currency
ETH was the first decentralized platform
LINK will be the first decentralized oracle network

BTC and ETH don't know what a dollar is or a contract is. It knows when a transaction has occurred on-chain. LINK is a layer on top that will be able to communicate with off-chain data and translate that off-chain data to something a blockchain can read.

Ex:
Option contract:
BUY to OPEN 1 CALL AMZN @ $2,500 EXPIRES 01/01/2021

The blockchain doesn't know what this agreement means. What is "buy"? What is "open"? What is "AMZN"? There are underlying limits and definitions in this contract that the blockchain has no ability to translate into a transaction.

The idea for LINK is to create an oracle network that can take this data and communicate it into something legible to the underlying blockchain network. That includes the contract that will be written as an automated smartcontract, a system that can integrate with legacy APIs to accurately receive the underlying data, and the oracle that provides trusted real time data so that the contract can execute accurately and perfectly function within the defined terms of the contract. The oracle network, if successful, will be a massive network that will provide 99.999% accurate, trustless, decentralized data that can be utilized by a variety of said smart contracts to execute transactions with contractual terms.

I'm tired of writing this so basically buy LINK.

>>17074122
Legacy systems do know what AMZN, buy or the price of AMZN stock is at at the moment, so they have no need to use Chainlink. Sergey pretty much confirmed that he meant CRYPTO derivatives, which was a huge sell signal.

>>17073970
I literally just looked at this board yesterday, so there's your answer. I'm only spending about $20-$50 on each crypto I buy and keeping my assets diverse. I buy from coinbase, so the fees are high. I would lose money if I sold back buying one of the cheaper cryptos. I don't have a built portfolio right now. Most of my assets IRL are physical. I only started reading about crypto in detail a few days ago an will be renting from the library before I put anything else in. thanks for the other written out reply though. I gotta go drop a paycheck to cover what I just spent today, see you later anon.

>>17074122
thanks for writing most of it for me. (think my ID changed but I'm gKfO1zDs.) lemme add to that/restate it:

blockchains cannot communicate off-chain. this problem hamstrings their growth, because the majority of financial agreements made today need information from a data source, like an API. but blockchains cannot know anything about the outside world, other than what is told to them. but this introduces another problem: if you have a person or team inputting data to the bludgeon in order to give it data, you have centralized data, which destroys the value-add of blockchain smart contracts (decentralization and trustless execution).

what you need is an oracle network, which functions as middleware between the real world and blockchain. Chainlink does this, reading in data from APIs in a decentralized manner, then relays it to smart contracts.

95% of the value of blockchain will be downstream of a decentralized Oracle network. meaning the oracle network itself will have a ginormous market cap.

BUT there's much reason to believe Chainlink is already the industrial standard for enterprise. SWIFT (an elite consortium of 11,000 banks), Google and Oracle (the company) are all involved, but there's plenty of evidence to say Microsoft, Amazon, Salesforce, and a huge amount of other companies are involved as well.

Chainlink is currently the bedrock of decentralized finance, which is growing quickly. Decentralized derivatives are being built as one of the first and best use cases (far faster by a matter of months, less litigation, easily coded). The derivatives market is a 1.4 quadrillion dollar market, the largest in the world.

But Chainlink has many, many more use cases. https://blog.chain.link/44-ways-to-enhance-your-smart-contract-with-chainlink/amp/

>>17074140
yeah and legacy agreements don't have trustless execution, friend.

>>17074260
no prob. had to phone post cause VPN use. normally I don't like explaining this shit because it's alot of handwaving but I think I broke it down well enough for >>17074233
to get the just of it.

It's hard to explain LINK without a paragraph of jargon

>>17074233
>cheaper cryptos

still gKfO1zDs. the token/coin price of a crypto is roughly market capitalization divided by circulating supply. try calculating it yourself: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/chainlink/
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/markets/

it is absolutely critical you understand this or you will make a lot of stupid decisions.

there's nothing "cheap" on coinbase. every coin/token on there already has a higher market capitalization (which is just fine, if it is going to appreciate in price still.) a cheap token/coin would be one with a low market capitalization.

yes, eating up fees isn't good though.

good luck.

I'm waiting for bitcoin to finish consolidating. Meanwhile, I'm writing some code to automate some of my analysis.

Is... Is this what if feels like to be human robros? I never thoughtin a million years I'd have these experiences. To hold someone's hand while they rest their head on your shoulder and trace their fingers down your arm... To feel their breath on your neck as they fall asleep in your arms...To catch them glancing at you with admiration and love... I just can't believe this is really happening. I'll see myself out lads, but just know that I won't ever forget you bros or the ones who didnt make it this far. We're all gonna make it

think i'm going through a quarter life crisis. sold all my video games. started working out and eating healthier. gonna move out next month. getting invisalign. feel like i should have done all this shit a while ago and that that's why my life has been aimless. hopefully i get a gf this year because i can't put up with the loneliness anymore.
