I made it with crypto. I invested in ETH early and also LINK. I’m mid 20s and can feasibly retire if Link moons a little more.
But im not really that happy. There is a void. I never went to college, but i value it for some reason and pedestalize education. I never made it from hard work per say in my own venture. I literally just invested my savings from my wagie job of non significance.
Maybe my working class background values hard work. Maybe i glorify education and having a degree as some sort of gate to being respectable. So i ask, am i glorifying this shit? I socialise with a lot of educated people and i feel a disconnect like they are snobbish. One friend knows about my power level and he really hates it.
Then go to college. If you've made it then you can easily afford to throw away money on frivolous things like that now.
Chase Jones
Go on a vacation, get a creative hobby like art or music to devote time into. There's so much shit that you can do that many others can never due to wagecucking.
Adam Jackson
Doesn't matter how much money you personally have since you're unironically a faggot with no purpose other than creating bait threads on biz
Hunter Moore
Hes not your friend then. If you socialize with a lot of socialists then you're probably not missing out on anything in college except debt. Miss me with that bs
Bentley Watson
Go live innawoods for me
Lincoln Jenkins
user you have the golden ticket. find a hobby you really love and invest a little bit of time and money in it and you'll start to be grateful you never have to be a wagie
Nolan King
it’s almost like money doesn’t buy happiness. crazy.
Caleb Flores
Shut up faggot
Brandon Carter
Hey bro, awesome to hear you’re financially sound and stable. But there is so SO much more to life than money. Granted money helps a SHIT load, but go out and try new shit. Go outside your comfort zone, go travel or try a new potential hobby. Rooting for you bro you got this
Benjamin Foster
How does one acquire happiness? Ever since I took SSRIs, I have never felt a sustained joy for over 5 mins.
James Ortiz
I think it is something like this. I never really bothered with many types like this before. But i increasingly do. They see obsessed with social climbing and snobby as fuck basically. I can talk to anyone on a level but it seems very empty talking to them with the whole “what do you do who do you know where do you go” shit.
I guess its just something im not so used to. But it does leave me with this feeling of wishing i had gone to college and educated myself more, perhaps just insecurity for me.
Yes, I suppose this is the solution. Focusing on the wrong shit
Brayden Garcia
the purpose of life is INDIVIDUATION. Which means to become whole. Worldy things, like money, have next to nothing to do with INDIVIDUATION. Its about communicating and integrating unconscious content in your psyche. For men, it means going thru initiations (college is a pseudo initiation).
Link can moon all it wants but it astounds me how VAST majority of the people have no clue how to live life.
it sounds that you, like many males in this age, have never had a trial of manhood
Josiah Parker
What does it mean for women?
Ayden Moore
Happiness comes from meaning. Meaning comes from service. Service comes from being involved in something bigger than yourself (generally something social and not something like a corporation) Service is an attitude.
Jeremiah Ross
you got about halfway there
Alexander Lopez
^ He's right you know
Levi Lee
Hey, the SSRI memes.
I took a fuckload of them back in the day lol. Just go read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle and "Be Here Now."
Never looked back and always smiling now. 100% serious, no meme bs.
Carter Gray
Women have biological initiations. Mainly childbirth. But women also have a need for individuation. With men, becoming an adult is WILLED. For women, it happens when their bodies release vast amounts of hormones when they are pregnant.
An initiations has the component of death instilled. The death of your younger self. So there is an element of danger.
Brody Johnson
I got a physics PhD, fuck a lot of girls and have a reasonable amout of money - doesn't make one happy either.
not sure. i’ve been blessed with pretty good brain chemistry so it’s just kind of there. gratitude helps a lot though, it can always be worse, and is for many.
Ryder Jackson
I mean, SSRIs aren't a meme. I remember how I was before and after. But maybe I'll give it a look.
You failed to link it to a moral system, preferable an objective one. God is one.
What if I want it to be worse for myself?
Angel Flores
Ah yeah, fair point. I'd figure thats each persons quest, especially in the modern world where God is such a debated WORD
Grayson Rogers
I made almost 1 mil after tax at 24 years old after cashing out early 2018. Still felt anxiety every day like I was wasting my life away. Wasn't until I used the money to start a business did I start feeling fulfilled.
Owen Miller
read/listen to tolle
Camden Moore
Did you just transfer that money to your bank account? Did they freeze your account or anything of the sort?
Sebastian Bailey
Trust me, I felt decent on them too, but it's only temporary.
Presence is all that's needed to enjoy this world and it's incredible. Trust me user, I was the most suicidal pos in the world two years ago.
Adam Flores
I chose my belief. Desire is the primary reason for belief, not knowledge--as many say. I suppose in some sense there's a circular logic to most moral systems. What the initial motivation is. If I believe in a soul, it suits.
>I felt decent on them too Really? I felt worse. Much worse.
>I was the most suicidal pos in the world two years ago Kinda same. (SIBOS 2017?) Nah my whole lift fell apart after that. Maybe because I believed in the FOMO and lost a lot of pumps. Kudos to OP for managing through it.
Jackson Miller
Probably. It college is considered so maybe thats why im glorifying it. I can do this some other way. Be my own man and make my own shit.
It is just a new yet tiring experience. I talk to a lot of people and you smell it. They are the keeping up with the jones type cunts. Idk if many anons here are from the UK but it is kind of a working class/upper middle class divide thing.
My GF has been to college and she used to go on about this shit till i told her to cut it out or leave. Im “the dark side” apparently. All her friends are “educated and respectable people”, where im a “work in progress”.
Asher Rodriguez
It all went from coinbase to my credit union. The account went from like $50 to $900k all of a sudden. And no they didn't freeze it. I didn't get audited. Nothing happened. I hired an accountant that specialized in crypto taxes he referred me to a "wealth management firm" and had it invested into boomer stocks and they gave me a credit line to pay the taxes with.
Joshua Cooper
>Be my own man Every man MUST go through a trial. It is an essential endeavour to understand that from suffering, comes good. To know that you can do something, and build skills.
>kind of a working class/upper middle class divide thing I am from the UK, went to Uni, and have never seen this. In any case, fuck urbanites. They will die when the SHTF
Zachary Robinson
Jesus, you just checked 900 grand in the bank and you didn't even get a notification for it? Sounds too good to be true....I'm paranoid that if link really ends up taking off and I deposit a huge sum of money into the bank the cops will come break down my door or something.
BTC isn't actually volatile enough to worry about that before you get a solicitor
Gabriel Edwards
My friend made 5k in drop shipping and transferred it to his bank. He got an email from the IRS a few days later, checking in.
Noah Gutierrez
> had it invested into boomer stocks
Good job going from the future to the past faggot, what you should've done is put it into BTC
Daniel Reed
as in, just keep it in 5 separate wallets, or something
then sell it later
Bentley Kelly
Nah, more like they sucked my dick when I called them asked me if it was ok if I deposited that amount of money from coinbase. It's a small credit union, not a bank.
I sold around 14k and had a great return in stocks that year.
Colton Richardson
If I had your money I'd put myself through pilot training. I know a few pilots and there's not one of them for whom flying isn't a passion. I did enough hours to fly solo and it's amazing, I just couldn't justify the cost as a wagie.
Carson Martin
So you think if I transfer a huge sum of money to my Bank of America account, it would be wise to meet with the bank manager first to explain the situation? As well as show him my complete transaction history to prove my investments are legitimate?
Easton Morgan
What I'm saying is talk to a LAWYER first. That's what solicitor means.
John Martin
Yeah like the other user said, a LAWYER
Elijah Clark
Made over 200k between 2016-2017-2018 In march 2018 i quit everything and started living with what i made. For the first 3 months i felt free and happy. Now i'm depressed and always want to die, never speak with someone, watch anime 3 hours a day and sleep 12 houra everyday. I always don't know what to do.
Josiah Cox
>he believed the money fixes your life meme I have a net worth of 50MM and I still piss in bottles.
Aiden Cruz
Something for me to think about. Urbanites is right. Im London based.
Jayden Perry
Also I used a really high end "boutique" accounting firm with like ex-irs agents and tax lawyers that work with them. Highly recommend you do something like this instead of using turbotax or something so you don't get bullied by the irs. They also saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars because they were able to use LIFO which preserved a lot of long term capital gain.
Gabriel Brown
Why do you anons believe I should talk to a lawyer first before transferring funds from coinbase to my boa account?
Anthony Wright
You probably ended up paying a lot more than necessary. But i guess why take the risk on cheaper firm
Christopher Jenkins
Bro I just want to play Classic but I have to work and my boss is a cuuuunt
Ian King
Because once they know it exists, they will want it.
Jason Parker
Unironically? Have proof?
Juan Evans
its a safe guard. you never know what bullshit the IRS will throw at you.
Liam Smith
wake up, you're living in a simulation
Aaron Walker
how
Chase Adams
If you ever want to know how to not make it go look at Notch's Twitter account.
Jose Ramirez
Get a wife and have kids
Jason Adams
I plan on paying all my taxes anyways.
Jayden Rogers
Why not study something you find interesting for the sake of learning then? I study engineering but if I made it id love to study computer science, not for a job but just cuz that shit is fascinating.
Easton Rivera
Yes... That is the plan. But minimising your tax burden is actually reasonable.
Ryan Cook
So to make sure, after cashing out, I should
1. leave the fiat on coinbase 2. speak to a lawyer 3. speak to my accountant with my cointracker paperwork to pay my taxes 4. enjoy early retirement
Does this sound right? What would I speak with my lawyer about?
Brody Price
Speaking to a lawyer that doesn't know anything about crypto will be a complete waste of time.
No, the lawyer should be first. The lawyer should be right after you decide to cash out. Everything else after.
Jayden Reed
>god is an OBJECTIVE moral system >in a world where the bible has a billion interpretations and people cant agree on whether to interpret it literally fucking christfags
Ian Russell
It’s hard to feel satisfied in (((clown world))) there is no community or spiritual connection with our volk towards our own evolution and prosperity.
The only thing we got is materialism and hedonism. Any higher ideals of elevating our people and doing what’s best for ourselves is shunned as Nazism.
The truth is without a spiritual bond with your volk, a bond towards the ideal of ensuring a better future, you got nothing. This is what the Jews are, they practice tribalism to the extreme and do what’s best for their own. Problem is they are not in a mutual relationship with the other denizens of Earth. They are in a parasitic relationship and they depend on our destruction in order to survive. The more degenerate and destructive things become the more they thrive, the better and more wholesome things get for us the harder it is for them to parasite off us and live like kings.
You say you value (((education))) and what not. Instead of following those plebs in (((college))) research real shit. Research Plato, Socrates, alexander solzhenitsyn, Natsoc Germany, Julius Evolva, and anything pertaining to the JQ. You will start to see the world for what it is. You already feel I subconsciously it’s only a matter of making the connections and understanding the root of the problem and living in a way that is best for our people to ensure a future for our bloodlines and to combat the evil that has taken hold of our Earth.
So I should speak to a lawyer before cashing out? Why?
Jose Robinson
>imagine being this much of a narrow-minded pleb nice projecting
Dominic Lee
Because it may be as soon as it becomes fiat, the law applies differently. But I don't know that, and neither do you. Which is why you ask a lawyer specialising in crypto.
Parker Bennett
Damn, it would suck if btc just tanked while I'm on the phone talking with a lawyer. The volatility is what makes me want to convert everything to fiat first, it's like holding a timebomb.
Daniel Perry
I think the man should work on owning a property in the woods/countryside first.
Jayden Ramirez
The answer "how" is corrupted by language and will repulse you. At best this can only be one condition out of many compounded conditions leading to your eventual liberation.
Anthony Mitchell
Look at how the atheist seethes over the mere mention of God. No one even mentioned christianity and that's what he jumps over. Pathetic how easy it is to trigger fedoras like yourself. Maybe take some time and do some introspection on why this is the case.
Caleb Miller
You used the money you earned working a job to make the most intelligent and forward-thinking investments possible. I'd count that as a win. You should start reading, traveling, pick up a skill or use your time and money to help other people.
