/biz/ - Business & Finance

Ok /biz/ so I bought around 2500 BTC back in 2012, but...
In 2013-2014 I lost over 1700 BTC in scams, by being MtGox'ed and just generally being stupid with them.
Anyone remembers BitInstant and Cryptsy? lmao

I almost gave up on crypto after the 2-year long bear market but seeing the VCs investing and
the new coins (Ethereum) prevented me from selling - thank god.

In 2017 I sold all my remaining bitcoins (805) at an average price of $13K, all tax-free thanks to the laws in my country.

After cashing out around $10.1M I decided to invest that in January in the S&P 500, so I can live off the dividends.
Yes I know stocks will crash but I don't really care, within 2 years it'll go back up anyway like it always did for 100+ years.

I get around $180K in dividends yearly, after taxes it's $150K.
It's amazing that I don't have to work, but with $150K you can't live like some high-end celebrity.
I don't feel rich. I can't just take a private jet like that or "buy a lambo" without eating into my capital.
I spend most of the money on rent for a very nice house, and the rest on foods/entertainment/clothing.
I don't have a car and always take taxis (uber is banned here) and it's cheaper since I only go out maybe once a week.

I might buy 100-200 BTC just for the lulz again, just in case it really gets to $100K, but I don't think an extra $8M will suddenly make me feel "rich".

What am I doing wrong /biz/ ?
How can I "make it" ?

I know im going to get fucked if BTC starts going bull, my sats will bleed to fuck, but i cant get myself to go all into BTC..

when are you guys going to exit? I think if we break 12k resistance in the next 4 months i will fully exit alts

i just wanted to buy a new gpu while they were over priced. they all told me to get some crypto and wait for it to 2x.

runescape doesnt need a good gpu anyway.

Multimillionaire here. Depressed AF.

I thought money would bring me happiness, but I'm still living the same shitty life.

> Still browsing 4chan
> No gf

> Nobody knows I have money

Do I need to gain status in order to become happy?
Richcels help me out.
