Why do so many people cash out their crypto once the hit 1 million usd? Call me greedy but I think its retarded, and if you aren’t a high earner in your job and barely make amends wagecucking you're not l going to make it with a million buckeroos. This is a once un a lifetime opportunity and people decide to drop it once they hit 1mm.. Is this just scarcity mentality ingrained in our brains After years of wagecucking?

literally where did you get this from...

there's no one that waits until 1m to cash out unless they're already well off. your average investor starts cashing out when they hit 20k or something.

you don't wait until you hit 1m to cash out, you cash out along the way retard, it's called securing profits

Some of us are living in poverty and are sick of it. I've been saving and accumulating crypto since 2013 and amassed almost half a million worth. I still live with my parents and approaching 30. For all we know, crypto could take another 10 years to take off. Of course I want to keep a lot of money on crypto, but I want things in life such as a house and nice car. I'm sick of this impoverished lifestyle and it's humiliating and degrading.

You can't buy TIME, anons.

What do you even cash out at 20k? I'm a poor student but cashing out something like 2k doesn't improve my life in any way, it's like a month's paycheck. Literally no reason not to keep it growing.

Cashing out more would reduce my stack too much. I'll start gradually cashing out at 100k to buy a car and shit but until then it's all-in crypto.

Agree with you mate. If you half a mills worth there's no point wasting your youth living like a bum.

It's not a bad idea. Cash out 800k, leave 200k in the market split across a mixture of promising projects, low mcap tokens, and maybe 1-2 BTC to day trade with so you don't fuck with your longs. With 800k in cash you're secure for a few years if you maintain your previous standard of living (with maybe one or two luxury splurges) and you can comfortably wait for your longs to do 100x+. Then you'll have a few more million and from there you can leave maybe 1 mil in crypto, stick 1-2 mil in the bank and start looking into other investment opportunities which require higher starting capital than crypto.

No its a larger platform that's not focused on money/smart contracts. Their proof of concept app is a decentralized version of twitter (which looks like shit and is full of cat pictures because a fat boomer was involved). I don't currently own any of the token but it has a lot of potential and they have alphas available for download showing the concept works.

it's at least a decade too early to be expecting social media like blockchains to get enough users to become self sustaining.

1 million with an average market return gives you like 85% of the median American salary AND grows (maintains) the principal against inflation


It enables the average person in a flyover state to work a part time job at most and still live a normal life, putting them in a state of semi-retirement

So, to me, it's understandable

After having saved so much fiat that I could live two years of it, I would put my whole income after living expenses into a cryptocurrency that I have trust in. Of course, before I've reached that point I would've bought at least a small amount of crypto just to make sure that I won't miss out on a big pump. Then I would cash out a million the moment I can and invest that money in assets that throw off at least 5% of which I reinvest only enough to even out inflation, the rest is used for cryptocurrency speculation.

I don't think there's "so many people". What I've seen happen is that someone hits a milestone and then they take a chunk out and keep playing. There's people who go all out but they either come back or start posting on /r/buttcoin. My impression, I don't really have numbers. Turning 200 into a car is not shitty either and if you've lost faith on the thing I can completely understand leaving as well.
