>>29161240
Fucking Mark Rebillet fucking made it. Saw him in DFW when he was still doing small 20 people gigs at breweries and open mic nights.

Congrats to him, he's very talented and charismatic.

>>29162348
Lol god damnit Dennis, I copypasta'd that from last night when I was sleep deprived, yes I'm a dumb bitch.

>>29161240
I inherited about 6k from my grandpa, 10years ago when I was very young and didn't know about inflation. I put about half in in Chainlink in summer 2019 and the rest in ETH and Chainlink in early 2020.
I am now worth slightly below 100k.
Otherwise I am just an uni student living with my parents.

>>29162458
I've seen him live too it was so fucking fun. He's the only male in the world allowed to make that face.

I inherited a good house through shenanigans and that enabled me to do an apprenticeship in the highest paid trade so would still consider myself self made, working 70 hour weeks for half the minimum wage. Will soon have money to start investing in stuff and then my wealth is going to really take off, although I'm used to living in poverty my whole life and already have everything I want. Basically I work just for enjoyment and money means nothing to me anymore, is that making it?

What counts as inheritance/help? My parents saved 10€ a month for me and when I turned 18 I got it on my bank. I then bought antshares with it and sold my neo at 50€. Does that count? I mean I had twice that money on my bank from working shitty jobs. It was a nice bonus for sure but how shit are your parents if you cant even put 10€ a month for your kid.

i worked corporate for 7 years after undergrad. saved up some money. early 2017 put a lot into btc. rode it all the way up, and all the way down. didn't play alts. lost a lot trading during the following bear years.
then this year happened. i was ready for it. had the funding, knew the people, knew the space.
i'm close to my goal, but i cleared 1mm the other day for the first time, which was pretty dope.
i quit my job to do something i like about 6 months ago (lower pay, which is fine).
i'm... happy.

have a bit over $100k so far, closer to $200k than not. started from broke/unemployed 3 years ago. not too shabby imo but I could've done better. a few decisions cost me alot of money in this space, I've meme sold a couple times right at the foot of a rally, or bought 10k JNT instead of 10k LINK which was horrible. in another reality I'm worth $300-600k

I started with 200k of student debt. I got a part-time job as a software developer whilst in my 3rd year of university, and accumulated bitcoin. I dropped out in summer 2017 to work full-time to accumulate more. At the peak, I had $2m. I lost a lot, and used my gains to pay off my debt. I started this cycle with 'only' $350k. Up to $5m now.

>>29161240
Started from $150 now ive got 300k portfolio. Not from jewSA so i made it

>>29163525
hell yeah man, that's awesome. what's your portfolio like? i'm in top 100 alt coins but with massive holdings liquidity is an issue for the first time ever lol. with those returns, unless your trading actively, you must be in alts. are you more diversified than i am? is liquidity a risk for ya?

>>29161240
Are you fucking kidding me?

I started in 2017 and put about $20k (all my savings and extra cash) in total into the market over the course of 2 years. Thought I was getting in too late at the time. Now my portfolio is approaching $600k.

And I made fucktons of mistakes along the way. For example I fell for the ZCL/BTCP scam and lost $5k

And the entire fucking crypto market is STILL peanuts compared to real markets out there. Even gold, a small global market, is like $12 trillion. It is still early, this might possibly be the only example in history where the average joe can frontrun the elites, and if you're not positioned now you will have no one but yourself to blame.

You do NOT need a fucking silver spoon. You never did. All you needed was conviction. You had 12 years

worked in a corporate environment doing predictive modelling. Familiar with stochastic models, getting into options was fairly simple. Paid down my student loans through my job, lost my job, now fulltime options trader

if you want success, you just need to have perseverance and above room temperature IQ

feels good to know that my name has made the List
see you guys at the citadel

portfolio broke 100k last week, started as a high school drop out doing self learned skilled labor, living life with the restrictions of a poor. started investing 2 years ago. all in LINK and smal amounts of other coins such as uni and grt

>>29161240
My dad's never given me a penny since I turned 18 but he has over 50M set aside for me and my siblings.

>>29163846
dude the mistakes have been so cringey lol.
>had coins in cryptopia
>scammed out of a btc in 2017 (greedy retard)
>waited to buy link at $4
>sold link at $3.50
>partial leveraged liquidation early january.

the fact that i'm a millionaire in crypto after that shit is pretty wild. it's been a crazy couple months.

>>29163801
I've been long BTC and ETH, flipping between them and reloading my longs every so often. Sometimes I hold both with a ratio that reflects my expectations.
I went long on DOT, XMR and XTZ for very short time periods. All three are shaky, but XTZ and XMR trade weird and are somewhat predictable. I don't trade XTZ any more due to liquidity and funding issues.

Margin fees / interest are brutal once you reach $1m. You can easily pay $1k per day on a position. I have a preference for BTC just because margin fees /interest are so much better.

I'm looking to move off of kraken, I need a bigboy exchange with a proper margin pool. I can't borrow more than 600k usd + 600k eur. Technically I could borrow tethers too, but kraken never has any in the pool.
Any bigboys try FTX before? How is it?

>>29163846
I agree I missed many boats as seen in my last thread but am here and willing to listen, infact made double from last night on a stupid RVN coin, ($80 from 40 but hey it's a start)
Sorry was away from the thread doing stuff IRL but I'll try to pop in and respond asap, but I enjoy where this thread is going good it up.

From Wagie to Kang in less than 5 years is a story every man should be happy about.

>>29164687
Not really the story I was going for but respect you should live life as a "wagie" for awhile to get a personal experience with people, especially knowing you'll be alright later you'll just expand your mind even further.

>>29166020
>>29166139
"Good it up" jesus Keep it up this board is killing my grammar.

>>29166139
lol whats your story op? you have a good one or you fishing for motivation?

>>29161240
The amount of jealousy and hate oozing from this OP is tangible.

>>29161240
yep just by being in a decent (not scam) pump group, started off with poorfolio, now 5 figure hell
invites just opened on this one if you're interested. obvs not for everyone
discord gg/XXtjSHftnx
managed a 45% on last pump - see the vid from a member who recorded last pump

Me mum gave me a small loan of a thousand dollars

>>29166139
To answer your question, no I haven't made it. Still in 5 figure hell.

>>29162458
Riblet is a cucked faggot

>>29167119
Actually my motivation is quite high, I was remaking this thread because by the end of the night we had new people coming in learning from veterans on what to do, it was all in all a very good thread that helped me and others understand what we are getting into more.

>>29167275
Not at all, jealously would imply I want what you have, I have zero desire to be handed wealth I believe earning it and making it in your own right is true success not the number but the journey of digging yourself up from poverty which keeps most in a cycle they never escape.

>>29167502
You should consider doing house servicing work not for the money but for the experience of meeting new people every hour, being invited into their homes having discussions about life (usually half the time I'd spend "working" would be playing therapist for my customers)

and the freedom of being outside and with your wealth you can quit without really worrying too much about the repercussions, that in itself is something most jobs don't offer, even if I make it I plan on opening my own business simply for the fact that I enjoy meeting new people.

>>29167859
*Open another business, I had opened one before in 2017 but failed due to personal reasons with my partner.

I plan on rebooting that business as well but I've got many good plans to earn income in fiat as well as rolling into crypto.

>>29167859
>Not at all
You are jealous and seething at a white nerdy guy who is making money in crypto - moreso because his parents help him pay his expenses. This probably stems from the fact you do not have a father. You are an evil person acting out against a person who has done nothing wrong. You need to realize the issue is within yourself and not others in this scenario. Reading this probably won't change your mind, but you are being judged.

>>29161240
apparently everyone on here is a millionaire

>>29168151
Wow that is pretty harsh language, where do you think I'm targeting anyone in particular here?

You can read that's established I'm not an idiot it doesn't take much to figure out what I had said in the past thread and attempt to shame me into being "evil"

I think that is a very harsh word only implied to those who commit the act of taking away someones right to live to be free.

I have never done such an act, and again I'm gonna turn this back on you, what in your mind makes you think someone is EVIL for talking to others on the internet about rising up from nothing?

The white nerdy guy in the picture I used, is a running joke here on the chans of leftist types nothing to do with crypto white nerds, your assumption on "facts" that you perceive is something I have never personally experienced before I would suggest you take a hard look at the words you wrote and decide how that would sound being turned onto you.

Good day sir I have zero interest in carrying on any conversation with someone that completely judges someone else without even having a discussion with them.

>>29168574
What are you 12? What kind of larp is this

>>29168151
I'll give you a tip for life going forward if you ever want to have a discussion with anyone that has substance I wouldn't start off with assumptions and accusations.

Unfortunately the daytime crowd around here seems to be of the mindset of being trashy towards others is somehow a benevolent feature, I do find it interesting that you would call people "evil" who have lost a parent that is such a hard thing to wrap my mind around and reasonably so it's not the thinking of a mentally healthy person, seek some help seriously.

>>29169106
We react to sins acting upon us by sinning against the world around us. We become evil in reaction to bad situations which happen to us. Forgiveness towards the world will change your path to forgiveness from the Lord.

>>29167119
Sorry I sometimes try to understand the logic of illogical people and I should know better, my story is not a normal one, fairly long you can see it in the thread before, rather not retype it all out lol

But like I said motivation is never a bad thing but mostly enjoy having genuine discussions unlike some people in here are attempting to derail, which is fine it's 4chan I expect that.

I tend to lurk the boards and see a lot of lonely people out there looking to have a discussion and I've been able to steer my threads into mostly philosophical in nature, can rich people have those conversations?

Absolutely but I do find those who haven't endured a struggle to be a tad dull, and yes I'll be shit on for that, I haven't always been poor and yes I had a father I lost a father as all of us do, and the implication of being evil for losing a parent is flawed logic as that means we are all evil or on our way to becoming evil because nobody escapes death period it's the one thing most rich people fear because they can't control that with money, although death shouldn't be feared at all it should be embraced moved past and then you can really enjoy life at a different mindset making your fortune feel that much greater.

>>29169655
I'm sorry I can't entertain your logic it's clearly flawed as I said before if someone is evil for losing a parent that means every single human being in existence short of those who died young are evil or on their way to evil, that statement alone that you made shows you harbor major resentment for people and you use religion as a shawl to deflect any feedback, your actually the person I tend to want to talk to because your very flawed thinking has probably lead you to sweepingly call others evil and make broad generalizations you need to stop that immediately for your own sake.

>>29169912
>that means every single human being in existence short of those who died young are evil or on their way to evil
It's called original sin, and you are correct.

My biggest regret is not buying in $10k worth of bitcoin when I was able to. I remember I told myserlf that when I got a job I would toss my first $1k into bitcoin but somehow I miraculously forgot all about that when I got hired and bitcoin went up 8x since then.

>>29170059
Yeah I think we know what original sin is, anyone here who was raised christian is quite familiar of those doctrines, I do not agree, I think all humans are naturally good people and only a very rare few tend to fall into what you perceive as "evil"

I believe and I don't mean this as insulting but religion hasn't done you much good, you simply stick to what you believe or have been taught and do not waver, life in itself is always wiggling there is no straight lines.

You should go outside more and try to not be so influenced by other men.

>>29167502
That must be a lot of pressure. Good luck anon.

>>29170502
Humans do not hold collective guilt but hold collective spite. People will not feel guilty attacking in retaliation to the world, but those affected will hold spite. This is the downward path to hell. Only by forgiving those around you will you become a good person. Holding 'hate' towards an innocent person is exactly evil of which you are trying to deny the reality of.

>>29170938
I apologize about being snippy I do believe we started off on the wrong footing, the picture in my main pic I just randomly pulled not anyone I personally know, I made this thread as I was honestly not sure if I wanted to bother even trying in crypto as it seemed most the people who discussed "making it" already had some means to start with, I wanted to see if it was a rare occurrence to succeed or if it was more commonplace than I had anticipated, my answer was more commonplace, but the thread continued into a networking of anons talking and I told them I would continue making threads that were more intellectually stimulating.

>>29170938
As for Christianity I don't really follow that myself anymore I was named after a locally famous pastor from south Africa so I'm quite familiar with the doctrines, the only thing I really took from them is the golden rule that is something to use as a moral baseline in dealing with others.

I don't think your a bad person but I do think calling others evil is a good way to get the worst to rise out of someone, there is nothing worse than evil and it's a verbal slap in the face to anyone, I've been called a lot of things in my life but that was a first.

corpo FANG dude for 2.5 yrs. went all in BTC/ETH at the foot of this bullrun and made more than my yearly salary. quit and now looking to go offgrid, buy a couple traphouses to pay for expenditures, meditate all day

>>29171472

All humans are evil to varying degrees.As Jesus said, 'Only a person with no sin be the first to cast the stone [in stoning a person for a crime]' yet none came forward. We rationalize our evil as retaliation against the evil world around. Realizing every human is immature and ignorant will make it easier to forgive the world around you. Descending into reactive antagonism creates more antagonism by both parties - of which is punished in the afterlife and in the world. Forgiveness is the first step to there being a heaven on earth and glory in the afterlife.

>>29162458
I'm happy for Mark. What always amused me is how many women are at his shows, which proves that they love animalistic 'fuck me' lyrics.

All one can say is:
this song goes very hard
love from kazakhstan
i hate women so much its unreal

>>29172010
Fundamentally I agree with you and I won't sit here and say I haven't been bitter about my circumstances as they have been exceptionally rough but if you see through my discussions I try not to blame others for my faults, I made an edgy title to lure people in yes but never was mean to anyone including some rich folk who came in, I also speak to many well to do anons about relationships and try to help them by giving them advice on how not to fear so much and to take risks that seem scary but in reality are very safe and will help grow you as a human being, I don't do this for money or some glory simply because my health is failing and it's my way of giving back to the world, I enjoy getting people's attention then when they come over they realize I'm actually trying to engage in a civil discussion about life in general, I've have times of feast and famine in my life, times where "god" has helped me and times where I perceived he "smited" me in ways.

Been bitter towards friends who didn't help when I needed but learned to forgive and put myself in their shoes and patched up friendships from my past.

I think all humans are CAPABLE of evil but are not naturally evil, if you look are Americans as a whole we are generally a pretty peaceful culture, I live in the ghetto and am surrounded by crime and have been attacked before shot at etc but those incidents were few and far between in my 10 years here.

I do think your probably wise but I do think some scriptures have twisted some rational thinking, you should use different words than evil maybe flawed would be a better word.

>>29172222
Based kazakh misogynist digits

And honestly this email I received is why I make these posts.

sorry anon who might have sent this but nobody will know who you are.

>>29172222
Funny I just grabbed the first picture glad to know the guy was trolling with that face.

>>29172447
Perhaps this life (this is not your first) is a test of your soul. The ghetto is only bad due to the effect of sin increasing sin. Forgiving your past and the world around you will earn favor of those around you and those up above. אוּרִיאֵל

How long does this bullrun really have left? I'm unironically a fresh out of high school zoomer with nothing to even invest and been unemployed for almost a year because I graduated right after fucking corona started and I couldn't get a fucking job anywhere. I'm just starting my first job next month but the fucking anxiety of this being my only chance is killing me with how much I've already missed out. I can't afford to just YOLO the only 2k I have saved in some shitcoin hoping for a 20x and I can't make any money off the bigger ones. My brain tells me to put 1k on some lowcap coin with possible potential and wage while I save everything I can for the next run (I'm very good at living frugally). But my fear keeps telling me to go all in on whatever shitcoin might pull a 50x because it keeps telling me this is the only chance I'll ever get at a leg up. I'm not in a hurry to make it yet and know I definitely won't this run. I can handle waiting for the next one but god does it feel horrible seeing how much just 1k in all the coins I've been been eyeing could have made me so far and having the thought that this is the only chance I'll ever get to make anything. Please made-it anons give me some guidance.

>>29173062
Of course it's not my first life, I'd post my picture as a 3 year old but I would be doxxing myself, I was the most cynical looking 3 year old kid in the world, I looked like a 20 year old tired of listening to someones crap.

I was tired when I entered this world, I feel my mind didn't come from my parents and that I must be a recycled soul, I spent many years being a Buddhist after Christianity and follow my own path but it's an amalgamation of the two, and yes the ghetto is a rough place I've tried to help some here but mostly been a fruitless effort that got me targeted but I still try not to let me close my mind off from my fellow man.

>>29163271
How old are u now anon? Congrats on passing your first mil
Also, what do you mean by lower pay(like what's the difference with your old salary)

Threw my life savings into ETH <$10. Been a neet for over a year now.

>>29173334
thanks man!
re:salary got about cut in half. was $110,000 salary (plus bonuses, 401 multiplier, benefits) now i'm making 60k w shit benefits.
i love it. knew that would be the case when i decided to change.
i don't live lavish (practice Christian values) so don't need much money. got into crypto because i didn't want to fund corporations and fiat lol.

So since the earlier thread was awesome, now I'll expand a little bit how I almost made it one time (with some help), and how I'm reasonably close to making it now on my own, maybe it helps other anons

So first time I almost made it (but not 100% on my own) was in 2017 when I discovered crypto. Started by investing 50-100$ now and then, and after a while I borrowed $2k from my mom to invest more into crypto cuz it was going up and I felt that "something" big might happen. Long story short, cuz I was a total newb I sold most of my alcoins too early, and I made around 30k in unrealised gains, instead of 200-300k if I just held them and not fall for the daytrading meme. Those 30k turned into 9k cuz of the bear market, but it was enough to quit my job and focus on hobbies more in 2018. Hiking, fishing, all sorts of stuff.

>>29161240
i inherited wealth and spent it on rents and weed
lost 2k on GME
ngmi

The last thread was very nice so I guess I'll tell a bit of my story.
Come from a poor family in a rich Yuropoor country.
Parents get divorced, father was an alcoholic and haven't seen him since I was about 12.
Manage to get some shitty diploma and a job.
Try to get a company going but get crushed by taxes and my business partner got sick.
Worked some shitty job until I found a nice well paying one.
Eventually quit because I disagree with the company's policies and I'm an honorfag.
Invest 1k in crypto along the way in 2019 and forget about it until recently.
My 1k turned into 4, I could've made much more if I focused on trading.
All in GRT at around 80cts after reading about the project and immediately understanding the repercussions it would have.
My 1k is not about 15k.
Found a new job but I hate it and I'm going to quit. I don't think I can be a wagie anymore but I don't feel any passion for anything related to work. I could probably find a job in whatever field I want to but I don't know what I want. If I had to do it again I'd have learned to be a plumber or a carpenter.
Hope COVID doesn't fuck me over again.
I believe in The Graph.

I need help anons, no I’m not going to beg for money kind of help but how can I make it myself? I’ve been on biz since 2017 on and off and I can never “properly” invest.. even with all the knowledge at my fingertips.. it makes me believe that some people are destined to be poor. But I’m 22 w no job in KY & no neetbux/steady income. What can I do from this point on? Obviously I need to get a job and wagie for awhile to start off but how do I go from there? I’ve been here for this long and I can never get into the gems early and always end up missing out. It saddens me deeply knowing I’ve missed out on neo, link, Bnb, doge, XRp, and many others. The only thing my pea brain can think of is to just start throwing in $ in btc and leaving it alone until next bull run/halving cause I feel like it’s already too late for me to do anything right now. Especially with only $100 or less. please give me any kind of advice. even if it’s harsh and maybe I’m just not meant for crypto or whatever, anything because I’m at a complete loss for what to do. The only thing I want in life is financial freedom.

I got a job, bought a shitty house, flipped it by living in it and working on it evenings and weekends. Sold and did it again 2 more times. Quit job, started construction co. Now I build a few spec homes a year and invest in rvn and btc.

>>29162759
based moves.
you're gonna make it.
you dont have to do anything.
just hold on and stay alive.

I mean theoretically you can yolo your meagre life savings on options.

>>29174889
Buy lower MK coin under .5 cents
wait a few months
profit?
In a very similiar situation and i just found a wagie job and im going to throw my current savings at something

>>29174487
After 2018 was over and I spent most of those 9k, I started looking for a job, found one in december, and from there I started investing 30-40% of salary while living like a poorfag until January 2020 came. In my country banks have a rule that prevents people from making loans unless they work for at least a year at the same workplace, so after I made one year and a month I made a small 5k loan to buy some coins. So this time I had all my salary money invested, plus that loan, no other money. I knew about a coin named XIO, cuz it was airdropped to me because I held some units in another coin named BOMB, and the XIO was airdropped for free to BOMB holders. Anyway,the CEO of this XIO coin made some cool youtube videos and he seemed trustworthy, and I noticed that they didn't do any marketing at all, like no influencers, no shilling, and because of that the price was crabbing under one cent and the volume was only 2-3k per day. So I bought like 500$ worth of XIO. After a few months /biz/ and a few telegram shill groups discovered XIO, and the price pumped from one cent to almost 40 cents, kek. I made some money on that pump, and after it started going down I kept rebuying more XIO, until I had around 150k. The coin kept crabbing at 7-10 cents for a while, and then in August another huge pump came and the price jumped to 92 cents

>>29175289
and after that I kept selling and buying other coins, blah blah, meanwhile the price of XIO went down, and in november I heard about another airdrop that was prepared for the XIO holders, so I bought a shit-ton of cheap XIO so I can earn more of the new FLASH tokens for free. Got the airdrop and became one of the top 10 FLASH whales, and since the price was crabbing I just kept them without selling or doing anything, until the price recently started to make big moves and now I'm in the mid six figure zone

i haven't made it yet, but i turned 1500 into a quarter million

>>29163846
in less than a year I went from le average wageslave worth 10k to 100k at the beginning of the bullrun, and I can probably make much more if I take risks, and I'll make more anyway if I just hold
popular headlines in my country report events less impressive than this one I'm living
my mind is fucked up like I wonder if this is reality, but sometimes I'm happy, looks like money brings happiness after all, 8 years deep depression where I was showering twice per year, I'm getting better
t. blogposter

>>29175533
so basically once in a while there's the possibility to make 500k or more from a chain of events that started with significantly less, in my case 500$

>>29161240
poorfag 19 year old
turned $500 last july into $100k these lasts couple of days

I made $1400 for a website I made in 2013, used half of it to survive as I was a struggling student, and put half of it into bitcoin. After some trading I am now worth $1.52 million.

>>29173174
Its got months left. Absolute minimum, BTC tops out at $140k. Absolute maximum it tops out at $500k. It's probably be more like $280k.

Hello there brothers! sorry talking with a fembot irl so splitting my attention but yeah I sleep like 4 hours a night so I never leave for now anyway haha, glad to see others came back!

>>29161240
Never told anyone this story but might as well let /biz/ know the road to my wealth (~$3.5MM USD at this point)
It began back in 2013. Bitcoin flying, litecoin flying, random shitcoins like peercoin, hell, even dogecoin was about to be formed iirc around December 2013. There was this shitcoin called QQCoin which used the new scryptjane hashing algo that made the scrypt asics that was recently released impossible to utilise on scryptjane based coins. Cool, I started mining some with my GPU. Forward to a bit later, some chink decides to create a copy of QQC called VelocityCoin, which just like the name suggests, was as retarded as you could imagine. However, it was the first copy of QQC which was actually decently popular at this point.
Fuck it, I thought to myself. I know programming, I know mining quite well, I will setup a mining pool and cash in on the rewards. Said and done, somehow I figure out how to setup a mining pool with automatic payments, fees, the entire suite. Before the network went live I managed to become listed as the primary pool for the coin. Excellent, I will be able to cash in a couple % of whatever everyone is mining. Said and done, that's what happens. A few days after release on the "official" velocitycoin forums I get this PM in completely broken English. "i LOVE VEL! CHINA LOVE VEL!" I BUY ALL YOUR VEL"
At this point I had a couple million (which was probably 10% of the total supply or something) and sold, if I recall correctly, 250k for 3btc or 500k for 5.5btc, he was buying more every day. At some point I ran out of VEL and had accumulated roughly 30btc. I sell some around $700 and then the bear market comes and I kinda let them sit and rot in my wallet. Around 2015-2016 I start using a lot of my BTC to buy CSGO skins. This would turn out to be a really fucking bad idea in hindsight. >cont

2017 comes around, I had just quit my job, and was looking into creating my own business. Well, for some fucking reason, I realise a crypto bullrun has started sometime in late March/Early April, and immediately transfers my BTC and LTC to Kraken to start trading. I didn't know shit about trading, but fuck it. I had roughly 7.6btc and 100ltc to my name, maybe I can make $200 per day? Turns out, yes, I indeed could. What I did not realise was that I could make, most days, over $500 at this point. I quickly saw my crypto NW go from maybe 8000 to maybe 30000 in like 2 months. Cool, I thought. At this point I'm heavily trading smaller part of my stack to increase my BTC. I want to get back to 30. Also, good to remember, at this point I had invested $200 into buying Litecoin at some point in 2013, and my GPU. That's it.
The BTC/BCH fork comes around 1st of August if I remember correctly, and by this point I had accumulated $50k in Crypto. People were dooming BCH and honestly it was so massively in favour of BTC that taking the contrarian side felt like the better play. I anticipated that BCH would drop HARD the first day or so - but then would pump and create an insane FOMO. Which essentially was what happened. On Kraken, it went down to $100 or so - I remember buying hundreds at $115 or something - and a day later I think it went up to $800. I always sell small parts during pumps constantly, so my avg sell was probably around 3-400, and had doubled my stack in one-two days. (I didn't go all in with everything).
>cont

>>29177682
Now, I'm sure you people know what's going on. BTC pumps to 5k and there is China FUD for the 88th time and BTC drops to 3k, I buy the dip and it goes back up to 8k, there is the insane Coinbase BCH pump together with BCH going 0.5 on BCH/BTC ratio, and some dude on Kraken puts a 10k btc buy wall at 0.5btc. (He literally swapped, 5-10000 of his btc for 10-20000 BCH. Most people probably don't remember this, but what a fucking moron. lol) BTC dumps back to 5.5k and then rest is history, 4x pump to 19.8k and then bear market. At the 2018 peak I had 1.3MM, had sold $300k into fiat, and retained the rest. And held it. And still holding that same amount that was worth $1MM in 2018, down to $200k in March 2020. Iron fucking hands. That $200k in March less than a year ago is now worth $3.5MM. Yes, I should've sold everything, but if I had, I doubt I would've bought back at all.

So there you go - nothing to riches in 8 years, with literally a $200 LTC investment and a GPU. And a fuck ton of my time and stress, which I will never get back.

I worked min wage jobs in high school when I had 0 expenses because lived with parents + saved up any money I got as gifts on holidays/birthdays. I'm a pussy, so I dumped it on boomer ETFs/Index a while ago. I unironically could have had 6 figures by now if I went in on chain or dumped more on BTC. I'm 20 still in state uni. Fuck bros

>>29177770
Stories like this are my favorite ones, since they show that once you make some money in a bullmarket you can apply the knowledge to the bearmarket and then onto the next bullmarket, until eventually you will finally make it. Congrats anon, I hope you use that money wisely

>>29161240
Recent uni grad, just now living somewhat comfortably for the first time. I got a nice break in tech work that is very comfortable. Im on tiny digit building every week (around 50-100 usd). My mains are BTC, ETH, and GRPH. Im looking to play long term; would LINK holding be viable for that?

>>29178890
LINK is viable long term, you can also check out the other DeFi tokens if you want, cuz this bullrun seems to be DeFi based mostly. I would advise you to also make a small portfolio of smallcap tokens. Maybe 10-20% of the money invested into bigger coins if you don't want to risk too much on the small coins. The bullmarket will be very wild and I expect many of these small coins to pump a lot more than the top coins desu

>>29177770
Jesus yeah I almost went down that road, sounds like the payoff was good but maybe not worth the stress involved, but I'm glad you have enough wealth to be able to do what you please whenever you want.

Now go do that! enjoy your life take those 8 years of chaos and make 16 of joy, Sorry for late responses talking with multiple people but that is an amazing story, I'll probably be setting up some mining rigs myself in the future once I get my house in order.

I know enough how to get it done and honestly it will expand my intellect and understanding of how all this works even further.

Thank you for your inspiration friend and I'm glad you shared your story.

>>29178890
I don't know much about RVN but it is fairly cheap and swinging like a madman, you might be able to build a small amount of coins off $40 as I'm doing now and just sit on them, it's not a big gamble but also fun in a way to experiment.

That being said this is a bad method and I understand that but had 40 wrapped up into binance I couldn't withdraw so figured let's have a little fun.

>>29179866
leave an ETH address anon, make a new wallet or something and drop the address here

>>29180074
You really don't have too fren, I'll drop it for you to grab but Ill delete and you can decide, I'm a little shocked though just freshed to see this...
0x42F3D6E6AcC281b13A1dD4271F929E7071EFcD07

That should be right... and thank you dude even if it's a dollar I mean it I don't look for money here I do gain a lot from talking to you all your inspiring me to help other people through learning more about eachother personally.

>>29180074
I needed a place to go really expand my mind and seperate myself from 2020 and you guys helped me more than you realize just being able to distract my brain and go back to my base which is being sincere and listening to others stories and sharing any insight I maybe able to share with others.

>>29180074
Haha your a madman, Thank you dude! I see it already, now I'm gonna have to look into this coin...

I really wasn't expecting anything here I really do enjoy seeing others having deep conversations here and that is something to me money can't put a value on.

But you made my night a little better :) Seriously thank you.

>>29181105
I know what you're saying, I've been browsing around here now and then and it's nice to help others to learn crypto stuff, especially since the bullmarket brings lots of newfags that can be easily scammed

sent you something, the coin is this one https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/flash-stake there's another one with the same flash ticker but it's a shitcoin. Hold it there cuz I'm pretty sure it will moon in the next few months

>>29161240
I live with my parents. Someone who worked with them knew I was doing nothing with my life so they recommended me for a job. I got it. Then I invested in Chainlink from that meager income (I was making ~600 a week) and overspending habits (I like to eat and down booze) over the course of 2 years. I am a millionaire.

Is this what you want to hear? There are a billion and 2 opportunities in crypto to make it. Just keep your eye on what's going on here.

Oops deleted the wrong comment, Thank you dude seriously! i will hold it I swear and I'm gonna look into it now out of curiosity, but I really do thank you sincerely.

>>29181524
Yes actually a simple story is just as deep as a complex one, I hope you are enjoying your life now, I personally don't drink but my body doesn't handle booze like most do.

You saw the writing on the wall and that in itself shows your determination to better yourself.

>>29181597
lol, had no idea we can delete our comments. How did you do it?

>>29181460
Thank you again dude seriously one you showed me a coin I was looking for (one like Uniswap) and two for helping me, I'm watching the video about it now and this is what I was looking for, something to enable airdrops and something that will moon.

I'll see if I can play with this RVN I got and get more into that flash this is very interesting.

>>29181904
click the box top left of your comment, then bottom right there is a "delete post" button don't click that box just hit the delete, yeah I just found this out lol.

>>29179756
>>29179866
Thank you both!

>>29182256
Of course, might be some other good info about what that coin as well.

I'm looking for more exchange tokens like this.

>>29182023
My mind is blown lol. Thanks xD

Yeah, the coin is pretty interesting desu
I got it for free cuz I held those XIO tokens and flash was an airdrop for the holders, and I think they have like two more airdrops or something for XIO holders. I liked the CEO desu, he makes tons of youtube videos explaining stuff and he's very transparent about the development and what they do, that's why I initially invested into them when the coin was at the very beginning

>>29161240
I have $7m right now. I went all in on Chainlink after the crash of 2018 with my money from work and TAing

>>29182489
Nice! Yeah I'm watching the flash video now, seems like a great idea to add to the defi community and he is obviously a burger so that's always inspiring, I'll have to look into XIO and other similar DeFi tokens, once I get the car shit done I'll have more money to be able to invest since my healthcare costs should be minimal.

>>29182733
Nice obviously I need to be looking for the next LINK but some anons here have helped point me in enough directions to get a head start on this by at least a month.

>>29161240
Yes. I bought all my linkies with money working internships in college back in 2018. I even picked an internship in a city with relatives I knew so I didn’t have to pay rent, and that rent money went all into Link. I have over $550k now as of today.
I’m thankful for the opportunities I’ve had in my life.

>>29182838
You just need to get lucky, honestly. The reality is around that time there were tons of garbage "projects" being shilled only a little less hard than LINK. Anyone else remember "the LINK/REQ/QSP broship" or AMB? Wanchain? Walton? so many scams.

>>29183066
Haha luckily I've gotten pretty damn good on smelling out the scams from being here for a few weeks, but I agree luck which is just preparation and timing.

>>29175021
>SECFud

>>29182489
Haha well that was a CB account so sorta gonna be forced to hodl lol but thanks again dude I mean it just showing me this coin helps point me in the right direction.

>>29181707
Right now, the plan is to figure out how to start a career in the blockchain field, or become an expert in something. Other than that, I can't cash out because it pains me to part with my Link as I know people will be asking if 1 Link is enough to make it.

So I wouldn't say I'm enjoying my life at the moment but I am somewhat determined to move forward in life. I was just talking to a friend of mine of how I'm bitter that my company founder was busy fucking off in Japan with his girlfriend at my age and my boss was in the military and here I am depressed about my job. Thankfully my contract ends in a few months so hopefully I can take steps to move forward.

>>29184774
Sounds like you got it well figured out, and yeah hold your link at least till $100 that I would say is reasonable maybe higher.

Don't take shit from people life is too short to be a doormat and clearly you aren't that kinda person it's good to hear coming up stories, keep going!

>>29182489
You basically gave me 2k lol, cause if I gotta wait till its on CB it will probably be around $20 I'd imagine, Thank you dude very interesting coin.
