Anons, I can't express my gratitude enough. 2 years ago I arrived at this Indian tapestry weaving forum after quickly losing interest in /pol/. I only discovered that board because of HWNDU. When I arrived, ANS was getting ready for it's rebrand into NEO. I had .01 BTC at the time and only had the courage to buy one ANS before it started to pump out of reach. I felt like I missed the most obvious thing in the world. I saw the memes and still didn't buy. I was upset that I didn't have the courage to lose my measly .01 BTC and gamble on buying as many ANS as I could. After the ANS pump, I remember that I started noticing posts about LINK. I found most of them to be quite humorous. After a awhile I noticed that it had a vibe about it that was similar to the ANS vibe when the ANS memes were peaking. I bought a 100 at .34 cents just to participate in the meme. At the time, I was a poorfag on SSDI. Actually, that part hasn't changed yet. I saw some other memes and I found out that I was a neet living on disability with parents. NEET wasn't awesome to me. I'm an oldfag, too. (37) I had worked hard for money and knew the satisfaction that you get from a hard day's work. I felt like a drain on my 70 yo old silent generation father who is still working to this day. I hadn't had a manic episode in a few months and this new medication for my Bipolar II seemed to be working. I decided I wanted to make my parents proud. I researched cheap ways to get a bachelor's degree. I found a way to get a new type of bachelor's degree. It's called a BAS or Bachelor's of Applied Science. I didn't think much of the degree because it's an add-on degree. You had to have an Associate's of Applied Science. Which I did. The cost to go to this community college in Spokane was reasonable I could get it funded using FAFSA funds. I enrolled but I didn't take the extra loans out to buy as much LINK as possible. I go to school for the next 21 months all online. (1/4)

I proceed to watch the breadcrumbs flow and start to understand what LINK does but I didn't have the courage to get the un-subsidized loan from the FAFSA and go all-in. I manage to use the little bit I can save from my measly $800 SSDI after monthly expenses and get 664 LINK at an average price of $1.34. I start to covet my link as graduation approaches in June of this year. I graduate in the top of my class with a 3.87 GPA. Which doesn't really say much because it is a community college. Anyway, literally on graduation LINK is pumping looking like it's going to go to $3-4. My 664 LINK are now a few grand. I think of the possibilities of it hitting $1k EOY. I tell my parents all about it and they are receptive. My 68 yo boomer mom is interested in crypto but more specifically blockchain and how it's going to affect the internet. I give my poor man's description of a smart contract and how a LINK work's in the process. She get's interested once I tell her Oracle and Google are involved in some way. Someone in my family died. They lived with my mom. I had to move from ABQ, NM to Oregon to live with my mom because she is old and shouldn't live alone. Mom is hounding me about finishing writing a book that I started in 2015. I say fuck it and decide to finish it. I spend the first few months after graduation working on it everyday. I complete it. It's only 90k words and 200+ pages but 50k constitutes the qualifications for a novel. So it's respectable shut up dick. Mom is stoked and thinking about ways to sell the book. Says she'll publish it on Amazon under her company name to make it look like I have a publisher. Then she finds out the family member who died left her some insurance money. It's a decent amount, too. She says, "Anon, wouldn't it be great if you got your Master's?" I was like yeah but student loans for graduate school are un-subsidized so I'll pay more in interest. She offers to pay for a program if I can find one for 15k. (2/4)

I found out the #62 ranked university in the western region was starting an online MBA program that was accelerated and produced an actual MBA. It was just under 15k. I submitted the documents necessary for admission and to my surprise my shitty little BAS degree with a 3.87 GPA got me into this Master's program. Mom and Dad are stoked. Now, I'm getting an MBA in Finance and it's just a little two years after I found this board and discovered I was a worthless neet. I finished a book that could potentially make me some passive income and I have my 664 LINK. I realize that I should have taken the 20k loan money and bought LINK with it but I still haven't learned my lesson and don't have the courage to gamble that. I figure if LINK does really skyrocket, I can take my 664k invest it to get 5-10% optimistically and live off it. It will also give me some credibilty to use my MBA along with some blockchain certs from edX to offer consulting services and analyze businesses for potential blockchain threats. I also thought about law school. I thought it was too expensive but I'm a New Mexico resident and tuition for in-state residents at the UNM School of Law is only 17k a year. I can get that much in student loans a year. So it's not out of the question. I tell my mom about law school. She gets excited and reveals to me that she has always wanted Anon to be a lawyer. It was her dream for me. Great! Now, a Master's isn't good enough. I show her how cheap law school is in NM. She suggest University of Oregon. The difference is that U of O will cost an extra 50k+. And U of O is only the #83 law school and UNM is the #91 law school. It's not enough of a difference to justify going there for that much extra money. Either way, in the end, I'll have a J.D. degree. Hopefully this motivates someone. I'm also proof that my financial outlook has become more positive after visiting this board. Before coming here, I was destined to live off of 9k a year. (3/4)

Now it's almost certain that won't be the case. If you're a neet and want to change, you can. Finally, if you have any questions about anything I have written here, then I will be here to answer them for a while. What about you anon? How has /biz/ improved your life or financial outcome?

9k a year is no way to live. Have you ever worked hard for a large stack of money. I worked as a barback in nightclubs and made 200-300 a night in tips. It felt good as shit after working hard to make that money. I'm an oldfag if as you would know if you read everything. I have a different perspective on things than most of youngster neets who have never held a job and thus never had confidence and thus never fucked a girl. I have sex with many girls. One day when you get your head out of your ass and your mom's basement you will fuck a girl, too. I remember what that good pussy is like and like it or not women are programmed to fuck men they see as providers. Especially the ones that are still straight and conservative and not fucking leftist cat ladies.

thanks for the post OP. I wish I could say that /biz/ has helped me find success but that would be a lie.

I bought bitcoin in late 2016, before I knew about /biz/. I only started visiting this board in the second half of 2017 -- just in time for the bubble.

because of this board, I bought monero. I bought ripple. I invested ten grand in ethereum miners. In December 2017, at the peak of the bubble, I thought I was going to be a millionaire.

But ultimately I lost money on all of my crypto investments except my original bitcoin investment. So I can't say that /biz/ has contributed to my success. But /biz/ has given me a lot of laughs and for that I'm thankful.

>>16012042
I'm not going to intentionally out myself here if I can avoid it. But the book deals with my first manic episode that got me arrested and made me a felon. So it's about mental illness and has "rear-view" in the title and will be on Amazon in December probably.
