What’s the right move here? Am I entitled to any? Do I push him to put more in? (He literally has millions lying in cash in then bank)

Or just steal his private keys and move to Cambodia when GRT hits $10?

Just do the right and honourable thing anon.
Its time to kill grandpa.

In all seriousness though, just ask him and if he's decent enough he will obviously share some of it, if not; he's going to need your help to withdraw it anyway so take what you feel is owed to you, if you feel that way.

Youre not really entitled to any, because you wouldn't feel responsible if he lost it all would you? Would you feel entitled to paying back what he lost?

Just be nice about it. Dont let money and greed corruption your dumbass like it has done so far, if you can't tell.

Ground yourself. Its just money bro, it shouldn't make you feel this type of state of mind.

My grandpa would steal my shit in the middle of the night so he could buy heroin.. anything from my PS2 games to my fucking school clothes... think again how much someone like that does for you..

He told me he’s thinking about putting 65k more in but I feel kinda bad cause hes biden tier mentally but at the same time its litetally play money to him, he leaves his seed phrase on the dinner table and i told him that piece of paper is worth $100k and he didn’t care kek

Unlikely, google the inflation rate of last year. Prices of goods and a lot of foreign countries ran into the USD to protect themselves that's why there was massive amount of printing.

I wouldn't nag the old guy too much and telling him what to do with money since you're a NEET and his a millionaire.

Boomer or not, he probably gives a fuck more about you then anyone of us anons on here..

If you cash out and give it all to him he’ll remember that you’re trustworthy and legit and will be 10x more likely to offer a reward freely or sort you out when he goes. Hopefully you’re not planning to put 65k all in to same coin?

You’re right I’m being to greedy but also he’s very bad at money management he literally grew up during the Great Depression and doesn’t understand how anything works anymore

He has millions in the stock market and real estate and literally sold the bottom in 2009 and has had it all in a savings account since

If he had just held he’d have well over 10 million now

Already seen his will, all the grandchildren are getting an equal share, of what? Of his life insurance policy. That’s right he decided the best investment for him was bonds, CDs and a massive life insurance policy

Honestly just trying to get him to put 10% into crypto cause well never have this chance again

>> No.28461356

ask him if you can reinvest it for him in other crypto. tell him as a token of your confiedence you dont want any of the 100k but want a share of gains in the future. you can work the details out with him.

Well prove to him you are good with money then. Use the GRT as proof that you know what you're doing and maybe he will invest into you.
Use charm and competence instead of nagging skills like you're his mother or boss. Ordering others what to do with their savings is insufferable.

I actually think he managed to lose a couple hundred thousand in the stock market, by selling the literal bottom on 2009

Also had a dank condo in Florida he sold for 300k in the housing crash that worth 1.9 million now lmao

That sucks, but at the same time what built his success also led to him sucking with money. You have to be a mega normie to be a good salesman. The fact that he's a mega normie also means he goes with the herds aka selling the bottom every time. At least net he still came out as a millionaire even with terrible investing.
