Amen. This was me except with ANS then LINK. Have since diversified some holdings back into BTC and ETH. Planning on buying some real estate during the crash but I will never NEVER buy stocks or gold every again.

Anons, I can't express my gratitude enough. 2 years ago I arrived at this Indian tapestry weaving forum after quickly losing interest in /pol/. I only discovered that board because of HWNDU. When I arrived, ANS was getting ready for it's rebrand into NEO. I had .01 BTC at the time and only had the courage to buy one ANS before it started to pump out of reach. I felt like I missed the most obvious thing in the world. I saw the memes and still didn't buy. I was upset that I didn't have the courage to lose my measly .01 BTC and gamble on buying as many ANS as I could. After the ANS pump, I remember that I started noticing posts about LINK. I found most of them to be quite humorous. After a awhile I noticed that it had a vibe about it that was similar to the ANS vibe when the ANS memes were peaking. I bought a 100 at .34 cents just to participate in the meme. At the time, I was a poorfag on SSDI. Actually, that part hasn't changed yet. I saw some other memes and I found out that I was a neet living on disability with parents. NEET wasn't awesome to me. I'm an oldfag, too. (37) I had worked hard for money and knew the satisfaction that you get from a hard day's work. I felt like a drain on my 70 yo old silent generation father who is still working to this day. I hadn't had a manic episode in a few months and this new medication for my Bipolar II seemed to be working. I decided I wanted to make my parents proud. I researched cheap ways to get a bachelor's degree. I found a way to get a new type of bachelor's degree. It's called a BAS or Bachelor's of Applied Science. I didn't think much of the degree because it's an add-on degree. You had to have an Associate's of Applied Science. Which I did. The cost to go to this community college in Spokane was reasonable I could get it funded using FAFSA funds. I enrolled but I didn't take the extra loans out to buy as much LINK as possible. I go to school for the next 21 months all online. (1/4)
