Maybe with that attitude.

I'm serious, this defeatist attitude most people have hinders them so much more than they think. Ok maybe you won't get $10M but if you set yourself up for disappointment and failure maybe you might have got to $5M

That's still pretty fucking good m8

If another human has been able to achieve it and I am within sound body and mind I can probably get pretty close too, because why not?

I cashed out a bit and I'm using to go backpacking round India in a few weeks.

My magic number is the deposit for a house. Once I get that I'll totally cash and out leave crypto (mostly) behind and start paying for a mortgage. I'll rent the house out to people to help pay it off. 10-20% of the price of a house should be a good deposit, offering relatively low interest rates.

Also I want to say that I might be totally wrong but having this defeatist attitude is going to hurt you far more than having an optimistic attitude.

If you already accept defeat and think you can't do it, then you've already lost. There's no point in going any further.

If you think you CAN do it, you'll constantly be looking for ways to do it, when I see someone succeeding or doing better than me I try to learn from them (people are usually nice and helpful even if you ask them how to succeed), you figure out a way to make it. Eventually you'll find the right golden opportunities if you try for long enough, but that's the other thing is that you have to constantly be working towards it

You'll eventually get "lucky" but really it'll be all your hard work preparing you for when that opportunity comes by.

you would think people who obtain massive amounts of wealth would have some semblance of intelligence, but apparently not

Money can grant you financial freedom. It removes stress. But nothing you buy will make you happy. Neurochemically, happiness is of the same substrate as pleasure, simply a steady IV drip rather than a fleeting rush.

What your wealth can buy, you will invariably habituate on. Attainment only provides momentary pleasure. The hedonic treadmill as it has so often been described.

Why do child stars and lottery winners so often become drug users or go bankrupt? Because most people spend the majority of their life trying to reach X material goal. But once you obtain it, what is left for you? Man needs a struggle tempered with tangible progress. Restlessness and desire is our natural state of being. What would the evolutionary purpose of happiness be? You will always want more.

my point is, every person is more or less resigned to their own hedonic set point, regardless of external factors.

people are so easily impressed by wealth. They see the mansions, the lambos, drinking a 10k bottle of wine in some remote country. But look at the person behind it. They are not on some extra dimensional plane of pleasure that is unobtainable for the average person. Our brain was not designed to understand any of these things. All we understand are base stimuli and sensations. This is not hard to figure out. Maybe you are standing next to a multi millionaire in line at the grocery checkout. Are they any different from you? Is their experience that much better? No. Well being has a low and fixed ceiling. Some fisherman in Bengal living on 1 dollar on a day is likely better off than you.

I'm cashing out at $1m but my ultimate goal is $1b. I just really hate the idea of there being things I can't have. Let's say you have $1m. You buy a Lamborghini and now you only have $800t. You can get a decent house, but you're not going to be living in a mansion overlooking the hills. You're maybe getting one more supercar, so hopefully you picked your favorite lambo. You're not getting a supermodel wife, maybe just a regular model. Now let's move up to $10m where these things become more attainable. Even then you're not staying in the top floor of Dubai hotels or riding 1st class unless you want to go broke near the end of your life. $50m is where you can do these things, but still no private jets or yachts or $100m mega-mansions.

If you're a smart trader, a combination of dividends and gains could net you 10% returns a year in traditional markets easily.

$2,500,000 * 10% = $250,000
- 33% taxes = $165,000 left
- 2% inflation = $160,000 left

Not that what he's saying is really wrong, having complete financial freedom is better than not, but being slave to your possessions, or to fame, or to women, &c. is not the way we should live - if money buys you the freedom to resolve your anxieties, pursue the learning you've put off until you were at leisure, and these things satisfy your soul's yearnings, then you have much to be grateful for.

It's $100k; That's like getting pissed at the average NEET going out and buying a computer because "it's a depreciating asset".

I mean, yeah, but you have to balance that cost (~10% of your annual income) against how much you'll be able to use it over its intended useful life.

I'd be happy with 500k, but i'd spend it all reinvesting in real estate, maybe take out 10k at the very most to enjoy the last of my 20s with.

Between 500k and 5 mil I would invest in more property, a house where I work, a couple of apartments in other cities to airbnb/rent to cover mortgage and/or visit, set my parents up (almost 70 with no retirement in sight. didn't jump on .dom boom, didnt jump into housing. boomer retards but there ya go)

If I made over 5 mil I'd probably go crazy with it. Give away some on /biz/, on my meme page, fund friends projects, play pranks on cunts (EVERYBODY GETS A CAR-core), that kind of thing.

If you wanna feel like a pro-racing driver, you can go and race Formula 4 with a bunch of 15 year olds.

Maybe get into the gentleman's series like the Blancpain GT series. If you're any good at racing, you'll probably be able to do well there and move up to a more serious racing series and get sponsorship for it. The idea with racing is to have someone else bankroll you for it, even if you have the money.

Here's the LONG range view for crypto.

The true crypto revoloution isn't one global currency to replace the USD/Fiat..

It's lots and lots of small shitty currencies that have the following properties:
A) Interchangable on an exchange for any other currency

B) Secured with blockchain tech.

C) Represents something of real value.

Once we have lots of coins with the above 3 properties it changes the whole fucking economic game in massive and unpredictable ways.

It means I can suddenly now swap hard disk space for Porn.. and then swap that porn for KFC, sell that KFC for african slaves, and then sell those slaves to donate proceeds for a moon mission... all without leaving the exchange.

This will revolutionise commerce. Suddenly when everything is tokenized EVERYTHING can be traded like currencies/stocks/assets.

You can buy slovenian mushrooms, and then trade those mushrooms at a whim for setting up a bounty to punch your high school bully in the nuts, that some homeless guy will do, only to trade your BNTY for MethCoin. Now suddenly, the slovenian mushroom harvest has allowed a homeless guy to punch someone in the dick for illegal drugs.


Anything becomes possible, and EVERYTHING becomes tradable. This is why crypto is so powerful. It has the power to not kill and replace fiat currencies.. but to kill currencies altogether and usher in an age of digital bartering.
