I know theres a lot of people who will disagree, but if you have to spend any money on a girl, like any money at all, shes not worth it. If a girl really did like you, she would be working a job and paying for you herself. If you have to give any sort of money at all to a girl to be "a good boyfriend" then you need to let her go.
So, my worst investment ever was my ex.

In 2018 —bought a lot of $TSLA at ~$260, then sold it for a slight loss after Elon got nailed by the SEC. Shouldn't have doubted the Muskman.

Bought Snap around $7 and bailed at $10 thinking it would never go much higher.

>you’re not going to make her pay for everything.
again, do you think gigachad had to pay for anything? If your girlfriend doesnt view you like gigachad, she probably doesnt have that much respect for you, its just the truth.
You need to see how far women will go for their favorite male celebs. The whole

Wanted to mine in 2013 but read about how ASICs made bitcoin out of reach for normie miners, so I began to mine Litecoin with my GPU. After I listened to my computers fans screaming for a few hours, I decided I wanted to play mass effect instead.

Should've kept mining. That's still not as bad though as the time I bought Harmony ONE

okay, and you sound like a roastie.
Im just saying, if shes not offering to pay for you in a relationship, she would dump you in a heart beat for a gigachad or any male celebrity. Girls literally work jobs to go to concerts for their favorite boybands. Ive seen women save up thousands to tour a different country. And youre telling me she doesnt have enough to pay for you? Its all bullshit.

Making a thread. Getting told about Ghost. Not asking exactly how to get it.
Making a thread myself "what do you guys think of this?" Still not researching it. The next day some people make like 3 threads telling everyone on /biz/ that you need to buy ESH to get Ghost. The first person goes balls deep buying like 5k ESH or more and the others follow suit.

I still have 0 ESH and 200$ in my hand. Could have pulled from the BTC I had on long and bought some ESH.

I've been here since 2016
This thing unironically makes me want to just call it quits say I was born retarded and kill myself in honesty.

I with another guy started the bull run on ESH, it pumped 10x and it's still pumping.
And I have 0 ESH.
