Pretty much. The whole point of a job is to build capital and invest to escape wagecucking. Most people don't do this. Mostly because they either spend it on stupid shit and/or because of the retardedly high cost of living leaving them with essentially nothing to invest with.

Live with your parents to build money faster.

They are coping. In truth, you get taxed to death so your gains aren't even that impressive. Being someone's bitch is losing at life. Some, like this guy >>15630436
Are conformists. Don't be like that. Escape. There's more to lofe than being someone's bitch.

Who do you think is more successful. A landlord sitting on his ass and collecting money once a month or this wagecuck conformist bootlicker >>15630436

Exactly. The guy with the passive income that basically lives as a neet. Freedom. Freedom is how you win. Something very few obtain but it's the only thing worth striving for.

Also how do you build wealth for passive income with no income? Pick up lost pennies on the street? Raid the garbage cans for aluminum cans?
And how do i pay my mortgage with no income? Should i live on the street instead?

What are you talking about? I'm not telling op to quit his job. I'm saying work is balls and he should try to invest it to eventually escape. Personally, I see btc as having potential namely because of the halving that is coming in 10 months. It's not unpredictable like shitcoins.

False. Being someone's bitch IS losing. You ARE a literal bitch while an employee and saying otherwise is COPING. You don't get to choose your hours. Your breaks. Your shifts. Your pay. Etc.

Don't bullshit me with yoir cope. Businesses create jobs not to be "friendly". They do it out of a necessity. You are nothing but an asset. That's ALL you are. It's sad that that's how YOU define your worth.

You called me a loser and basically a bitch. And by normal society's measure, I'm neither of those things.

So i can do nothing, and i have, so is that "it" for me, now i just die? its depressing. i did something wrong because im not pushing to realize my full potential like the successful CEOs of the world. meanwhile my gf works and while she's a NASA wagie, she seems generally optimistic and happy to contribute to the advancement of the human race in space etc. im jealous of that mindset but i just dont have it.

1st of all, pic related. Second of all, you settle for a shitty end game. I don't. I don't want to be like you and retire in my 60s after I'm all used up and too old to enjoy anything. That's retarded. Thirdly, I find it funny how you basically say "not being a conformist makes you an angsty teen". Lol.
