Meanwhile I have 90% of my networth working for me in crypto (around 35k, I know not that much). I told him I don't hold any crypto, because I'd rather keep it a secret.

But why are people so fucking dumb? He knows about crypto. He couldve put not 50$ into crypto but instead all the money he wastes on consooming and could probably retire maybe this or next bull run. But I guess he wants to be a wagie forever.

Because he's comfortable. For now, you can be poor and live a comfy life in the west, so why delay gratification if you can just buy that car or laptop?

This is how 99% of normalfags get filtered by investing. They would rather have the guaranteed 100% loss from consooming (with compensation in the form of short term pleasure) rather than risk a lower percent chance of loss with no immediate dopamine hit.

I don't care. I'm just stunned by how stupid people are with money. Imagine buying useless consoome shit instead of appreciating assets.

Sure, but being rich and living off your investments and not having to work is living in heaven. So much freetime and freedom. With money you can travel the world, eat good food, put time into hobbies, work on something you love and get girls (or pay escorts).

I never understood this. The dopamine and adrenaline from seeing your money get cut in half or double is greater than any coonsumer shit you could buy on the market.

How about you mind your own business around what other people do?
You wanna know what's a depreciating asset? The human body. You could die tomorrow so don't fucking worry about the occasional consooming spree.

Youre right. But me dying tomorrow is pretty unlikely. Also if, lets say, I get run over by a truck and would die, I wouldn't regret anything since I'm dead. If I get diagnosed with a disease which will kill me in a few months, I could still waste my money and consoom.

So it makes more sense to invest a lot now and not waste it on consooming and then live comfy later and drown in pussy.

That's normie tier mentality and I see this everywhere.
When I was a wagecuck my colleagues had average IT salaries (800-1k cuz I'm in eastern europe), but most of them had cars, expensive phones, expensive clothes, they went to restaurants, one of them regularly bought 200-300$ shoes, etc. Meanwhile I had a 200$ phone, never bought new clothes, only ate cheap stuff for lunch and 30-40% of my salary went into crypto. Now after a few big pumps I quit my job and I'm in the mid six figures hell, while those colleagues are still being consoomer wagecucks.

Delayed gratification truly works wonders, but be careful so you don't become one of those retards who always chases bigger numbers until they will catch the bear market. I always see retards around here that are not happy with a low-mid 7 figure and are always chasing bigger numbers, and that usually doesn't end well for them. My make it number for example is ~2 million, once I reach that I'll cash out 70-80% to invest in more stable stuff and then leave the rest in crypto in case it pumps more.

Because some people are confused when they see irrational behaviour and want to make sense of it. Perhaps there is something that i have missed and i could be doing things wrong. I always try to improve my methods and i can do that by understanding what motivates maladaptive behaviours. Troglodytes like you will stay incompetent and unable to control the people around you.

I remember telling people to buy bitcoin and trying to give my friends bitcoin long long ago. They all refused. Now they just glaze over it in convos. I wouldnt worry about understanding nocoiners or lowcoiners. We call them nocoiners because theyre nocoiners, doesnt matter why, its just the way that it is. Dont waste your time trying to understand.
>Anon, if we invested in Amazon and Netflix we could have been so rich.
>or bitcoin, thats gone up even more
>If I could go back in time, I'd put all my money into Amazon man, then Id be rich, only need like $50k
