>> No.20080822

I'd like to expand on this question by asking can you really make it with an amount as small as a few thousand? It seems very hard with traditional stocks unless you spend months or years getting decent at day trading. Bitcoin has more 2x, 4x, 10x opportunities but you have to read 30 whitepapers and follow 30 obscure websites to weird projects and download nodes and all this shit. It's quite complicated.

How could you make it with just a few thousand? Start swinging and just compounding your gains until you've got real money?

>> No.20080875

>>20080822
Start your own business. Work 60-80 hours a week, every week, for the first few years. If you fail, start again. Its the only way to make it, really. Then you'll be able to throw down 10, 30, 50k on an investment without losing your shit if it goes south. Work for yourself and have no master

get a job. investing compounds the money you already have. you have none. invest your money regularly into crypto (BTC/ETH/LINK) and the stock market (VOO/IJS/IUSV) and wait 10 years. any opportunity that could multiply your money 5x, 10x in a couple years etc is incredibly risky.

35 year old combat veteran with a family. We have about 20k in savings from a very modest income, but I'm hesitant to start fucking around with more than say 4-5k of it (max) because that's our down payment for a house. I'm just wondering if it's even worth it to try and invest with a few k at all besides just to learn with, or if you'll never really see any serious money until you can bring double-digits to invest with.

Thanks for the advice though nigs.

This is why you are only worth 20k at 35. You could have easily invested your savings while in the military, they pay for everything, and you'd be a millionaire by now. I'm 22 and I have triple your net worth.

I'll be receiving an inheritance too, eventually, but I'll have made it long before that. Your financially illiterate mindset means you're going to blow your inheritance away anyways. Good luck, focus on your family.

crypto is not like stocks that have real tangible value, it's easy to look at a stock and safely invest in it because you can assume it will have real world value, for example it was a guarantee amazon would eventually get big because ebay used to be fucking huge and amazon in its infancy was basically ebay 2.0
the problem with /biz/ retards is they try to view crypto as something tangible and valuable but it's not
it is a CURRENCY and you can't just invest in a fucking currency and hope you get rich
you have to constantly flip it and basically work it as a full time job so you can inch your way up little by little through small gains

trading crypto is fundementally no different from trading normal real life currency, people who view it as a "hold till I get rich" scheme are retarded, literally nobody has every retired off of other cryptos, the only people who got rich were mass bitcoin holders solely due to a fluke

GI Bill barely paid for 1/4 of my college and I had to pay for the rest myself. Medical care is hit-or-miss and very bare bones.
So hilarious you retards actually parrot the 'welfare queen' meme when service members are the only ones on the government dole that actually work for their fucking money, and they hardly get any compared to the billions spent on niggers and illegal immigrants and corrupt government workers and politicians.

Honestly as far as I'm concerned muricans are playing life on easy mode. I earn $40k a year in my late 20's through my own business and to hear americans talk on here you'd think I was bottom of the barrel scum, when in the UK that's a wage far in excess of what most people will see until their 40's - and it's expensive here too.

Yeah you live in a shitty barracks while you're a low rank until you can move off-post, which you then have to pay for yourself. You also have to pay for your own food and transportation costs, and again, the pay is poverty-tier. The only good thing is the medical coverage. Veterans should get benefits because a lot of us put our bodies through hell while serving unlike you fat ass losers, so medical care and education benefits are obviously a great thing for service members. You sacrifice your goddamned body for your country, why shouldn't they use some of the billions of imaginary money to help you take care of it?

You can retire after 20 in the military, if you live. My job and unit were very dangerous and also lead to lots of back, knee, shoulder problems and sometimes death. Part of being wealthy requires the ability to move around, but my wife and I chose family over wealth. We didn't want to live in a shit hole and have our AutoZone burned down by joggers, and we didn't want to move away from family that needed us. Career choice is extremely limited where I live, but money was never my priority. It is now, only for the power and opportunities it offers, and I will become as wealthy as I want to be within the next five years. I've actually already started, and it's never too late, which is something you learn when you grow up a bit. There are people I know in their late 50's going to college and starting over completely, and they're empowered and happy. They are the American dream.

That depends on your definitions, which at least you provided. My family and I live well within our means, never struggle, have two paid-off nice vehicles, both college grads, and decent savings. Our little rural town greatly restricts job opportunities if we would want to stay here, and you should know that if you do indeed work. You have to be prepared to relocate as a professional, as all of the doctors, educators, DA's, etc.. move around with some frequency.
Choosing to stay in one place will limit you and that's an unavoidable fact.
