about 50% better

>>23057399
BTC is the ultimate redpill
scammers will say it's a boomer coin
scammers will say it's dead
ignore the fact that they need to feed their village and you are going to make it

Better. Made half year salary by last 3 months alone

>>23057449
>need to feed their village
Sirs pls mother ganges awaits you!

>>23057399
I bash myself everyday for not getting bitcoins in 2013/2014.

>>23057399
Better because I know how ahead of everyone I am and that i'll be a millionaire before my 30's. Worse because it made me realize how easy it is for people with money to make more money while the poor get fucked over.

>>23057399
It gave me a reason to go on

>>23057449
100% based

BTC is the most comfy hold

>>23057399
worse

Its a mix of daydreaming, and FUD and FOMO.

2 years of that for a result of -10% on my initial investement.

50% better. I’m not even phased. This is just the beginning

10x better

>>23057399
worse i spend way too much time on bitmex

>>23057399
better.. im more focused and more mature with my funds since I cant throw money at crypto if I dont have money. so ive grown in that sense at least.
horrible investor unless I hold a token for a year but past that im aight and alot happier now

>>23057727
This is literally depressing, I think about this every day, I hate myself

>>23057764
>this fucking comic

Undecided. I've made about 20k in total but don't want to try to quantify the amount of time and stress it has involved.

>>23057399
about 100%, unfortunately, thats still extremely shit

>>23057399
I got in before the last 10x, so better
Now I'm waiting for the 100k

>>23057764
holy cringe

Neither. I lost 80% initial, and over the last 18 months have ended up getting back up to initial investment. Now it's almost 2 years since playing with crypto and I'm no better off, besides having some tokens that may or may not make some serious money. *shrug* who knows.

>>23057764
Bro this is some serious cringe shit

>>23057764

>eww cringe
Whats wrong kids, lack the cognitive ability to explain why you dont like the image? Only kneejerk meme reactions because thats all youve been programmed to have? kek

I'm definitely richer, though not by an earth shattering amount. Basically the next 18 months or so will determine whether many sleepless nights, stress and general timewasting was worth it or I just burned 4 years of my youth on digital chuck e chees tokens

worse because i was in my 20's when i discovered crypto and now i'm old af

>>23057399
Bought a townhouse in 2016. Paid it off in 2017 with crypto gains. But since then it's been a drain on my life looking at the crypto charts pumping and dumping not to mention filling out crypto taxes. But I don't want to miss out that type of money if it comes again. Fucking cut my 30 year mortgage to under 2 years. Where else am I going to get that type of money?!

>>23057764
>liberating women
They deserved that beating.
>>23057399
Better because I actually feel like I have a future with my crypto. Every other asset is in a bubble except for metals and guns.

Pros: im rich

Cons: i can't tell if im mentally ill or if I set myself back 5 years socially doing this shit

>>23057727
>>23059165
You really can only have regret if you truly understood and respected the tech and didn’t buy in, most people only see the dollar value and think “ah man I had heard about bitcoin back then” but few truly understood the technology

>>23061133
the way that shitty comic idealizes anarchism is pathetic

Getting money too early in life ruins it. Imagine if all the legendary weapons dropped in the starting zones of WoW. Like, then what? I have a 4 year gap in my resume that I can't fill in with my shitcoin tinkering.

>>23061393
that was my case. 2013 during karpeles fake bubble. read an article about how it would become the currency of the future and we should own some. finally didnt buy but i would have bought for 200$ max because i didn't understand fiat currency, gold, etc.

>>23057764
cringe

>>23061228
Guns are a bubble if Trump wins, otherwise they're a great hedge for a Biden future.

considering it turned me gay i'd say a lot better

>>23062139
You hold ethereum too?

>>23057399
Better, doubles my money

Reached stage two and preparing for stages three and four wagmi

>>23057399
i made some money but my life is still not so great

>>23057764
>I AM SILLY

>>23061133
>just assume everybody in an economic arrangement has perfectly compatible levels of attachment to valuable resources and characterize those who don't as inhumane psychopaths lmao

>>23057399
Both...hard to say really, all I can say now is that I'm less dead inside but at least I don't have to wage it up anymore (for a least a really long time)

>>23057675
How?

Better. Prompted me to learn about trading which is a worthwhile skill to pick up.

>>23058830
This is why I gave up almost entirely on moonshots. Sticking with solid projects 60% of my holds are btc eth 25% dot and link, and some ada. Don't expect any of the other shilled shit on this board to amount to anything, but if one or two do ill have enough to no fomo

BTC is a fun lottery ticket hold, but with more potential to "win" than an actual lottery ticket. everything else is bullshit that you WILL lose money on in the long term. anyway i do think BTC will go to $100-400k in the next 10 years, but even if it doesn't i'll be fine.

Worse from a creative perspective. Better in terms of net worth. I waste a lot of time researching shitcoins now.

I'm not sure. I was a broke community college retail worker 3 years ago. Crypto allowed me to take a nice trip to New Zealand and then pay for a STEM degree with 50-100k left over. But there are some downsides. I am almost certain I will get fucked by taxes soon. I've also been the most uninspired piece of shit for the last 2 years because I am just waiting for crypto to make me a millionaire. And I would be a millionaire if I just held my ico LINK which I ended up selling most of to pay tuition in 2018. To get more philosophical, if I did invest in crypto and my life would look very differently currently. Because every event is the result of all the preceding events. Most notably I would not have found myself in a long term relationship which makes me contemplate suicide on a daily basis

>>23057399
1000x times better financially, 10x times worse in every other aspect of my life.

>>23057764
exceptionally based, as demonstrated by the sheer number of (You)s this post gathered

>>23057399
Better.

My life was set up to be a wagecuck for some dying bank ruled by boomers or to serve some of these asshole startup founders that come from wealthy families.

Before I didn't realize how much people with money get handed to them. Also, many people with money are retards and maybe max. 1/4 of them are smart proportionally to their wealth.

My story would be too fucking long but I started as poorfag which was the reason why I could not get into crypto earlier than 2014. I made everything with Altcoins using esoteric attractor reconstruction techniques that should be discussed on /sci/, deep macro knowledge, and prediction of what retarded crypto noobs might buy into.

Today I have a few million bucks and are without much aim. in life. I used to be much sharper in 2015, 16, 17.

parallel-jumper from 3029 and here's some common themes from your universe-type
>Trump wins again but dies a couple months after china-flu 2 electric boogaloo
>BTC is worth over 100K in 2025 and over a million in 2030
>LINK hits 1K meme causing mass hysteria pushing it to 81K because of memes
>money becomes irrelevant in 2040 when AGI create a proto-utopia city funded by link marines and the GOD protocol through link oracles
>most people prism-jump into DDVR while religi-cucks die off on origin-earth
>china introduce gene-mods while india and africa turn into cyberpunk ghettos
alright gotta jump again, take care anon!

Worse overall because I’m obsessed. But it will be worth it when I pay off my house. Just need a 2x from here. Coulda done it in august...

I’ve doubled my money. But since I’m a poorfag, it has not really changed my life much... yet.

>>23057399
Better. Due to being a pussy I've only made small gains, the equivalent of a few months of rent, but gains nonetheless. The real value has been all the years shitposting with you guys.

>>23066366
larp would have been buyable but you said spamlink was worth anything more than 10$.

>>23057399
worse due to things that have nothing to do with my discovering crypto... I still have hope my bags in a few promising projects can turn things around

Worse, I hate going to work

>>23064435
>paint a daily scene in Detroit where niggers live in peace with a whitey walking down the street with a shiny rolex
Get a gun pointed at you and robbed within 30 seconds if it happens in real life
That’s pretty much it

thanks to $LINK and $CVP waaay better

Initially good, but then its slowly gotten worse as I’ve become worse at predicting.

>>23057399
I'm going to say SLIGHTLY worse because I spend a lot of time watching the numbers flip back and forth like a moron instead of catering to more lucrative hobbies. Also helps none that I'm chipping away at my mental health talking to you faggots all the time BUT it's better to be doing this than buying stupid shit with my money. At least with bitcoin it can go either way and I either gain money and be happy or lose it and learn from my mistakes.

>>23057399
worse

>>23057399
I really couldnt tell you

>waiting for my real life to begin

but someday it will begin so.... better I guess

Better because I was spending my money on microtransactions for vidya

>>23061133
it's funny because we just saw a live test case with that chaz zone
with warlords, thefts, rapes and murders
your stupid comic is nonsense

Buying BTC in early 2016 was the best decision of my life

For better and worse
Just a 5x away from never having to work again (more or less, but not cashing out), just completed my degree but too lazy to go all out on applying for jobs. Not feeling superior to my peers, but very fucking disillusioned with the current system were ordinary people have to take an unreasonable amount of leverage just to avoid losing purchasing power, as well as taking on a lifetime of debt just to have some place to call their own.
