/biz/ - Business & Finance

everyone on this board is making money except me

>>17197276
Doing taxes and I can’t figure wtf to do if crypto was purchased years ago when tax laws were different. Might have to spend a few hundy just to ask a fucking boomer taxman. Fuck taxes.

>>17197325
Keep telling yourself that. We’re all interchangeable at this point

>>17197325
I’m not making money anon, fucking pissed off but still holding strong. I’ll re-enter back at $8-$9k

>>17197276
Sold half my stack and it keeps going up good news is my remaing stack is free coin

my liquidation price was approaching during that huge BTC dip from 10k to 9.7k, so i sold and lost 3k, it was either that or lose everything. lo and behold it never hit my liquidation price

that was 2 days ago and i've made back 1.3k but t really sucks because if i'd held i would have had twice the gains

Bad: Hate my job, moved back in with parents

Good: 6 figures in crypto

>>17198211
I sold at link @ $3.40 so I could donate $$ to my church (we need new chairs for coffee hour) and my wife almost killed me and told me to re-buy.
I lost about 238 link from the total sell/buy but boy I am glad I have a smart wife

>>17197276
Good: My link stack
Bad: Been unemployed for a year and can't add to my link stack.

the good: i sold a business 2 years ago, and could buy my own house

the bad: still down 16k on crypto, could have been +140k up if i didnt move to the wrong alts from link, rlc and tezos. it still haunts me, it's a lot of money (~10 years of salary) here.

Bad: I’m in huge amounts of business and personal debt (around $160k)

Good: My LINK holdings have skyrocketed to over $200k

I am still never selling even though the bank is probably be going to put me under debt management soon.

good: will probably be a millionaire in 5 years

bad: my life sucks

>>17198288
You are a fucking retard. Sell whatever you must to pay your debt down to a reasonable level. Your creditworthiness, long term, is more important than a bunch of shitcoins

>>17198373
>Sell whatever you must to pay your debt down to a reasonable level. Your creditworthiness, long term, is more important than a bunch of shitcoins
>selling LINK
>ever
Fucking idiot.

>>17198373
yes goy heed this anons advice
credit rating (good goy score) is worth much more then your link stack/hard assets

Wheres the anon who got HIV the other day? I wanna know if he's ok.

>>17198391
As a business owner, selling shitcoins to stay right with your bank & maintain creditworthiness is the right call here. Or sell the fucking business and go all in on link if you believe in it so strongly. Just remember Sirgay can dump on you any time he wants.

>>17198419
I am a business owner and a no-coiner. Call me whatever you want

>>17198373
damn this is dumb

I am legitimately numb... I thought 4chan had its day, but the world was returning to normalcy. I thought LINK was another long running meme, I didn't really think people on this board were investing, and to this extent.... lightning already struck once with Bitcoin and Trump and 2016... and here we are. Linkies showed us all. All I had to do was throw 100$ at it.... Trump will be reelected now, I'm sure of it. I feel sick... I want off this goddamn ride.

>>17197276
My portfollio is at 42k. My ATH is 55k. Im holding big time, buy im scared

Bad: I lost some money margin trading last week, mostly over trading, revenge trading and going against the trend
Good: I took a rest, breathe some fresh air, put my shit together and did some good trades. Also someone blessed me dumping a low cap coin that I was accumulating in my very low bid

>>17198260
Ummm anon...

>>17198424
I'm fine I just can't forgive myself that's all

I fucked up my epic 100x cross leverage long at 4k, started adding when we went all the way to 13k and my entry was now around 6k. Got scared and peaced out when we dropped and had to reenter at a shittier entry price.

could of been a millionaire by 20k and have 10mil at the next bull run ATH but now I'll only get half that amount. Literally feel like roping

Bad: have to go to trig class tomorrow
Good: sold my linkies for a 400% profit and will buy back in if we go back under $3.60

>>17198559
How'd it happen?

i just bought chainlink and btc for the first time
im really not sure what chainlink is but i trust you guys

>>17198588
self destructive behavior from depression and drugs

>>17198591
Is that so? Are you enjoying your stay here on /biz/ so far newfriend? It only goes up from here

>>17198596
I understand. Luckily it's not a death sentence like it used to be...

>>17198559
Man, I'm sorry to hear that bro. I hear the treatment is pretty damn good these days. You're just going to have to drastically change your lifestyle, I think. Good luck broski

>>17198257
What's your crypto story?

you know what, fuck it i'll join in

life is actually going pretty grand

other than the crippling loneliness and reminder that i'm not a normie and yearning to join them in their frolicking and flirting and drinks.

i want to be sober, i want to follow Jesus but it feels like everyone else just wants to stay asleep to what's going on in the world and the utter absurdity that is this shared dream.

Considering giving up the volcel life and going back to sleep

>>17198531
Trumps really not as bad as you think, and theres still time to buy link. But, you'll need to put in a bit more than $100. I bet you anything you could scrounge together at least $1000 to buy some. That could be worth 10-20k at some point, which from what I'm gleaning from your post could be life changing money.

ive known about chainlink since 2017 and i still dont own any

>>17198728
I'll add to this. I'm 31 and have more money than I've ever had. I feel like I can do all of the crazy stuff I wanted to do in my 20s, but now it just feels lame to do. I can't think of any places I want to g, everywhere just seems mediocre now. The wold has drastically lost its luster and I can't tell if its just a chemical imbalance blanketing reality with grime, or if the luster I saw as a young person was just a product of my mind. To put it short, I don't know if I'm actually seeing the world for how shit is or if I'm just depressed.

I guess, I've just watched too much sci fi and anime, and that warped my mind about how things should be.

>>17198742
Me too

>>17197276
good: everything I own is gaining, gonna fly out to see my lady for a 5 day vaca, bonus paycheck this fri

bad: i'm not studying enough for a big finance test this june. and i'm getting kind of fat.

>>17197276
I want to get into chain link but I don't know where to buy it in Canada

>>17198762
Yeah you’re depressed. Get out of the rut and go do some shit. Take care of your people and your health first. No amount of wealth in the world will fill the hole in your soul if you aren’t spending time looking after number 1

>>17197325
I'm a poorfag and have just made $500 in this bullrun, it's even sadder imo.

>>17198260
Damn she must peg you hard.

>>17198531
you forgot ethereum and antshares too. lightning strikes all the time here. I honestly can't believe you didn't even look into it when it was being thrown in your face all the time always.

but I guess I understand to an extent because I never looked into BSV and never will.

feels good it's going up but also feel like shit since it's still not my break even point and also lost a lot during the bear

>>17198596
My friend got MRSA from cutting himself in jail. It sucks when your short term outbursts lead to long term unexpected consequences. It must put things in perspective. Good luck pozzedanon

>>17198742
Chainlink gains are minuscule in comparison to what other shitcoins did if you were here since 2017.

>>17198866
Agreed on that BSV shit. It could be a great project, but craig is worse than versetti.

Only reason I looked into LINK was because some anon debate-shilled it in a Moonman/Chang ARK thread, after months of seeing the logo around and thinking it looked dumb. Anon that talked about LINK in ARK threads, if you see this... thanks man

I put in 40k into crypto, its hard to say what I have now but its probably around 20k. I'm going to put more into it now though, I made things way too complicated and need to consolidate my holdings.
I also started trading options in 2019, lost around 30k, but now I've gained it all back without new deposits. I completely reorganized my portfolio and now nearly ever day is green.
Also, buy SPCE now, then buy TSLA when it dips.

>>17198845

Buy BTC or ETH on Coinsquare and then send it to Binance

>>17199013
>chasing this hard
you'll keep losing

>>17197276
didn't get liquidated out of my loan money by doing an x3 all in on ADA.
instead I'm on the path to gaining back the sats lost on 2019 by gambling on Fantom, and then from 2018-17. I can ride the waves and trade semi-decently which is enough in this trending market.
I'm gonna make it.
>>17199013
TSLA is a losing overhyped company.
I suppose you were gambling on shitcoins, so just stick to a few good ones, increase sats and $ as bitcoin rises, then exit. don't gamble further.

>>17197276
Im quite good.. managed to accumulate 8mln NIMIQs..waiting for PoS this year..

not bad financially but still miserable socially

I saw a woman today. She's been a customer at my job forever. I'm the guy that's worked there forever and often worked alone running the whole shop myself. She used to come in in the older days before our location moved down the street and back then I would take her order on the phone, make her food, then greet her when she came in. Back then we had a tip jar and tradition was to bark like a dog whenever we got tipped, so she always got a laugh when I barked at her. She never wore underwear and you could see her figure pretty plainly through her clothes, and one time she bent down in front of me so I could see her boobs down her top.

Well, since we moved locations, I don't deal with customers as much (and we don't bark anymore) so I never get to see her. But today the cashier was busy and asked me to help check someone out, and it was her. I could see her nipples through her top. Fuck she's pretty too

>>17197276
Went into bit of a melancholy mood today somewhat exacerbated by me meeting up with an old "friend" and making future obligations I don't feel like keeping. I mean, it's just half an hour at the bar, and I was somewhat entertained by the meet, but in truth he just kind of makes me uncomfortable. A few years back we kind of split on silently shaky terms and it just feels weird now, like seeing a page from the previous chapter in a book in the current one.

I dunno man. The weather was awful today, so maybe it's just that.

>>17198260
Does your church "celebrate diversity"?

>>17197276
Multiple aspects

The doing well part
1. Feels like I'm building a better relationship with God.
2. Have become better at doing my personal tasks.
3. Feels like I have too much to do.

The not doing so well part
1. Sleeping, been sleeping late too often the last few days (2am). Not happy about it.
2. Crypto, got screwed over by coinbase when they verified KYC but than unverified it. Some of my money got trapped on tgere for about s month or two. This was back in mid 2017. Missed out. Had I invested back then I'd likely be investing and profiting off of it now. Instead I'm a nocoiner.
3. My video game is coming along kinda just poking at it. I got a lot of the coding done. Seems I need to focus on something as I'm just wandering aimlessly on it...again and I only seem to gain focus when I focus in on an aspect to work on. Figure it's time to design the other areas, as most of the testing in my game has been in literally one area.
4. Been unemployed for a while, haven't gotten a job.

psicologically, destroyed.
two friends of mine died in a car accident in sunday morning, one of them was my best friend.
financially, comfy that the bull run will pump my bag 50x

>>17198272
I avoided this pitfall by just going to a pizza place as a delivery driver. Granted my net after taxes and expenses is less than 12 an hour but hey, a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. Might get into sales considering it's one of the few jobs anymore that actually pays well with relation to inflation, COL, etc. In 15 years things might be different.

>>17197276
>good
a girl asked me out
>bad
I'm having a really bad time. Found what I hope are two cysts, one under my armipit and one in my groin. I also noticed I have some weird spots on my body. Jesus I hope it's not leukemia guys, I am only 25 I don't want to die. I'm still waiting for the scan, I feel so alone bros

>>17197276
The good:
-I am starting to blossom into someone one that isn't a poor peasant anymore. Before I would work jobs but usually left because I felt like I was being stolen from. My hours and work were worth more than my paycheck to me.
-This has been alleviated mostly due to learning about numbers, how to figure out actual income, and becoming a Christian.

The bad:
I want to make a lot of money this year, but I have to stay patient or I can make the same mistakes as in the past.
-I'm 26, 27 in May, and my net worth is less than 10,000. This is good and bad because it drives me to move on and up, even if the challenge is hard, but I found a sincere interest in numbers and finance, but I'll likely have to go into sales before being able to start my own business. It seems to be one of the few employee positions left that you're not getting railed in $/hr worked.
-Not enough time to study finance courses
-No real friends. My sister is kind of fading away and my family broke apart years ago. It's strengthened my relationship with God but people are important too.

I sense deep down that this can be a challenging year, but the rewards can prove very great. I'm just over getting taken advantage of by being an employee.

Just bought a pile of artistic silver instead of plugging faith into sergey not dumping.

Feels good. Gonna buy another gun tomorrow because I'd rather take comfort in blasting squirrels from 100yds out than try to get rich quick with shitcoins.

>good
Looks like the crypto market is finally turning around, if we go for a higher high then shit will get real
>Bad
Still extremely depressed and lost in life, have spent the last 15 years trying to find help but none of it has been particularly helpful, most don't even know what to do with me. I may have to come to terms with being like this for the rest of my life.

>>17198284
>if i didnt move to the wrong alts
Are you me? because if yes you are a very unhappy person

>>17197276
good: link stack going well
bad: missed few x2 on shitcoins I was wacthing but didn't buy. Unrealized gains hurts

>>17197276
lil peep os ,y mew nest freidns

>>17197276
Good: Have set up secure channel to cash in and out my crypto gains. Recovered all the losses I suffered when I bought in Bitcoin at the top in January 2017. Just need to make profits now and I can cash out easily.
Bad: No profits yet. I sold my XRP gains a little early to recover my losses from 2017. Was waiting for Link to drop below 2$ to buy in. Oh well. Next time.

>>17197276
First love rejected me and used me and the only sex offers I get are from guys.

but my ETH is mooning so I am happy overall

the bad:
550 link
the good:
550 link

>>17197276
Good: Made some crypto gains after getting into it less than a month ago
Bad: Procrastinating like never before could really get me in trouble
