Literal 30 year old boomer here. This kooky looking guy, as you all know, is Jeff Bezos aka the richest man in the world.

While you may know that he found Amazon, what you may not know is that he started his rise to riches by flipping burgers at McDonald's. He's now 54 years old and still works every day, even though he literally has enough money to *buy* McDonald's (Bezos is worth $145B, McDonald's market cap is $130B) and still have enough money left over to do almost anything humanly imaginable.

Why do I point this out? Because it's clear to me that a large portion of /biz/ are lazy shitholes. They want three things:
1. To retire ridiculously early (i.e. 30 years old)
2. To never have to work for someone else (which they call "wagecucking")
3. To get rich literally overnight via fake internet money

They literally idolize being lazy unproductive degenerates aka NEETs.

Let me be clear: there is no shame in working for money. Earning a wage gives you skills, and builds and demonstrates character. Most importantly, it's a temporary step in life that provides you with what you need to succeed: money. Retiring to a life of CoD and anime is a wasted life. Getting overnight rich through crypto is a fantasy. It was a lottery that braindead idiots won, and you didn't play it in time.

These lazy /biz/ people are no different to welfare cheats: they have a disdain for the world but still expect the world to provide for them. Don't take advice from these people.

Because really what these people hate more than anything isn't work or commuting or having a boss. What they hate is themselves. They know deep down that they are worthless pieces of shit, but they won't admit it to themselves. Their whole life plan is to exit society as fast as possible before anyone else has a chance to notice how worthless they are, and before they have to face that fact themselves.

Every time I see someone LARPing as rich and mocking "wagecucks" I cringe, but mostly I feel nothing but pity.

You're wrong. I knew I was worthless from a very young age. For everybody else, I faked my way through a STEM degree at a top 5 university and have worked into my thirties. 'It will get better, we promise'. It's made me nothing short of miserable. I want to get the fuck out because, with other people, it's the same misunderstandings and pointless bullshit over and over and over. I want to go live way in the middle of nowhere and make art so I don't have to pretend to be normal for people whose interests and incentives are completely incompatible with my own. It's either that or kill myself. There are a lot of dudes here in the same situation, and all of us have wracked our minds and tried countless methods to make it all bearable. At a certain point you know that there is nothing to be done as far as integration, and the solution is clear as day. Fuck you OP.

Bullshit. I only don't want to work for others. I don't want to be a peon that furthers the goals and ambitions of others. I also don't want to take out a bank loan and be a debt slave small business owner.

I am in crypto so I can secure the funds to be financially free, not to be a neet, but to start my own business funded by my own capital that I don't have to pay back to any investor or to any bank. It will be a private company that I own fully and I will have no debts. All the profits will be 100% mine. I will enjoy working on my own projects at my own company. I bet if you asked Bezos if he'd enjoy going back to McDonalds right now he'd tell you to fuck off. The man likes working because for him, his work is his passion, his own empire, his own personal life goals. I want to be like Bezos in that I work to further my own goals. I wont be competing with him, I will do my own business in my own niche, but I just want to work for myself and crypto might give me that opportunity.

Almost same here - no top 5 uni, since Eastern Euro, but started own software outsourcing business at young age (given lemons - made lemonade). I've wanted to be a musician since I was a toddler, but my last ally in my battle against my parents (who only wanted me to study to make $) moved to Vienna to play the violin for their philharmonic orchestra. Even though I was described as a top talent from age 5, I never played an instrument until I was age 26
All I want is to make my own recording studio now. And maybe, if I make it, I want to become a teacher and inspire kids one day. That said, making art and teaching from life experience is not comparable to playing CoD, so OP also had a point.
>>11439233
Also this. What I want from Bezos's life is the independence, not the money. Every dollar after the second million is worthless for me. The fact that he's using his billions to spread left-wing propaganda and make life even worse for productive people shows me that he's either clueless as to what he really wants, or he's more broken and evil inside than anyone on /biz/

I won't totally disagree with you but I told my friends, one of which was a gambling addict that constantly said "I wish I was rich" despite taking no steps in the right direction. I told these friends that Monero is literally a lottery ticket with good odds. They wouldn't play. Two did but didn't ride to the top for lottery level winnings. In many cases it did take a bit of knowledge, effort and risk to make money.

Rant over. I wagecucked and was frugal for years waiting and looking for opportunities like Monero. I respect Bezos a lot. I only recently listened to him talk and learned about his life and stuff and he's a cool guy and I agree with him on a lot of things including things that I've tried to tell people before and never really heard anyone else talk about.

OUCH.

Despite agreeing with those two things, OP you are an idiot. Bezos might have had a decent idea at the right time between one burger and the next, but not everyoen is Bezos. You also need luck; my boss inherited his business from his father, works at it and various other projects literally from sunup to sundown and still is nowhere near a rich person.

Wageslaving isn't ennobling at all. It's something you do because you gotta do it. It might strengthen character for some, but for the most part it will dissolve it; working at shit you don't care about, making more money for someone else than yourself, makes you just another cog in the machine, and if you're really lucky you'll have an asshole boss happy to remind you of that every time you dare raise your head.

Most of the people who want to NEET it up wouldn't be nearly as shitty as you describe. People free from being slaves to money can ennoble themselves and others in so many ways, and they would, if just out of sheer boredom. For example cultivating a hobby or volounteering. And even if someone really only wanted to crawl up their own asshole and die: so what? You be happy doing your job, let them be happy doing their own thing, they are well out of your way.
