Now they keep asking me for money. Whenever they ask I always throw bundle money on the ground. now Christmas I gave them a million pesos about 41000 USD. I can see at their faces that they regretted for ruthlessly treat me like crap.

By giving them money it's a contrast on how much I'm successful compared to them.

My relatives have been asking me what I am doing for a living (quit my job like 1.5 years ago) and I just tell them I trade stocks/invest. None of them really know what crypto is, there were a couple comments about bitcoin over dinner last night but I didn't expand on anything.

How are you such fucking betas that cannot convince your families that you're doing well?
My accountant brother accused me of being stupid for investing in something as volatile as crypto. But after 10 min of discussion he started contemplating researching it a bit more.
What won him over was the fact that he brought up for example how JP Morgan was so negative to bitcoin. I answered "JP Morgan that started with bitcoin themselves just a month after that statement? That JP Morgan?"

this is pretty much the reason why I hope most of you immature dimwitted morons never make any money, because you are actually pathetic excuses for a human existence. nobody will ever like you and no matter how much money you have and that won't change with even more money. you are a empty shell with some fancy clothes on, buying people with money. and you will never be happy because of that as well.

in your human development making more money will prevent you from reaching any level of acceptable maturity, human qualities or the ability of overcoming obstacles by insight or wisdom.

so even if you eventually buy your waifu, after some time you will be crippled by jealousy whenever she texts, because deep inside you, you know she likes almost any other man more and wants to have sex with them. you spend your remaining days in wealth as a neurotic betacuck trying to prevent your waifu from having fun with other males that are actually decently developed in their human qualities and therefore much more attractive.

you will always be miserable, no matter how much cryptomoney you make if you never develop a shred of human decency and kindness towards other people. and that is the cold, harsh truth.

>so even if you eventually buy your waifu, after some time you will be crippled by jealousy whenever she texts, because deep inside you, you know she likes almost any other man more and wants to have sex with them. you spend your remaining days in wealth as a neurotic betacuck trying to prevent your waifu from having fun with other males that are actually decently developed in their human qualities and therefore much more attractive.

If that's how you handle hookers you're doing it wrong.

They've been the most helpful thing for me too but it's not like those guys are talking nonsense. Most of them are indeed pump and dump groups and a lot work with referral shit. When you meet one that's just people being comfy it's great but I can understand the skepticism to random links being posted.

DO NOT DO THIS.
DO NOT BE THIS FUCKING STUPID.

You can trade crypto "full time" while going to school without any issues. I promise. I turned $20k into $400k over a few months while holding a full time job and living a normal life. Don't be a fucking retard.

+1. Never quit my full time job, but turned $5k to $100k. Lived with a gf as well.
I'll probably quit my job soon, but that's thanks to gains and a startup idea.

>holding IOTA
>the foundation releases an update that takes all of my funds
>months go by and they promise to return it but never do

This has already happened. Anyone still holding this coin has to factor in this risk, that any time, the IOTA foundation might move your funds to a special wallet they control.

^ 10% of all IOTA, over a billion dollars, worth more than Tether. These are all user funds taken in October. They haven't returned it yet.

Yes. Nobody except neckbeards or ultra-conservatives would actually believe this shit. If you're an awkward NEET autist who hasn't proved you've got talents before, people who know nothing about cryptos are gonna be sceptical.
