Thank you.
It's hard to give up on a wage slave life when you invested so much into it for a decade.
I had an existential crisis and couldn't decide on what to do which resulted in me not changing anything, but I will have to make a decision one day to change something.

It takes 6-7 years for an entrepreneur to create a company and make it by selling it, but it's not that much different when you check how much time we spend learning of cryptos, trading and following the news.

This is a strange result of having more money. It reveals who you are and what you really care about.

The law of power 29 would suggest to keep up the appearance as long as required until you are 100% certain to make it and cashed out:
>PLAN ALL THE WAY TO THE END
>JUDGMENT
>The ending is everything. Plan all the way to it, taking into account all the possible consequences, obstacles, and twists of fortune that might reverse your hard work and give the glory to others. By planning to the end you will not be overwhelmed by circumstances and you will know when to stop. Gently guide fortune and help determine the future by thinking far ahead.

I don't think a 30x is that unreasonable. Need a 5x from BTC (assume $250K sell) and 6x from alts.

Personally I'm running heavy Decred, a good chunk of low mcap co8nbase shitcoins, and a suicide stack of BTC. There's a lot of ways you could play it. I don't have the bandwidth to chase pumps or play with DeFi/NFTs but there's probably money to be made there too.

August 2017 I chucked down £20k savings.
Put in another £5k wage cucking through 2018.
Lived through actual hell, lowest point I was down to a total of £8k.

In early days I was retarded and bought some total shite. I was lucky enough however to buy 20k Link thanks to Biz (at the time though that was only like 25% of my portfolio). This saved me.

Anyway fast forward to Nov 2020 when Link went on the first incredible run, I cashed out £150k which is currently sitting in stocks.

I got smart last year and diversified, bought some more XCM (I'm ICO tier) PRQ and recently RBC.
The rest is history.

Current crypto is £640k plus the £150k cash out. So god damn close to 7 figures.

Been chattin to my dad through out, he thinks it's amusing I've made close to his retirement amount in 3 years.

Just makes me tingle thinking fucking hell I'm gonna have a banging retirement package in 35 years time.

Word of advice to new cucks. The correction is coming. Do not do what I did in 2017. Make sure you protect your initial investment. Also think of crypto as your retirement and NOT your fucking beer money. You'll be fine.

Yes

Close, but I have a different definition of making it than most people do I think
At this rate I'll be deep in make it town next cycle, but just barely on the cusp if this is the last cycle.
Right now I have enough for the land I want but not enough to put a house on it. I could borrow and do it now, but I'd have a mortgage. End of cycle I should have enough for the land and the house but will not have enough to generate sufficient income afterwards. I will however have no utility costs. Someday no food costs. So this is how I'm positioned to semi make it even if this is the last gigapump. Because my expenses will be so low and debt zero that just wageslaving an easy job I'll be able to stack cash and produce more income from my portfolio. As soon as that income is enough to cover expenses and beat inflation without diluting, I've made it. It would hypothetically be possible to do this without waging anyways but then I am too close to poverty for comfort.

$500k dollarinos. Pretty bad considering I bought my first BTC in 2013-2015 but here is my story:

I spent all the early BTC for weed and games. In 2017 I decided to buy atleast the same amount that I would have if I had held all those wasted BTC.
Turned out to be a great decision, spent 2017 gambling on shitcoins like neo and waltoncoin and during the top of the ICO bubble early 2018 I was sitting at 12 BTC, my personal ATH.

But before I could realize it I was married to my shitcoins. Held them the way into hell, thinking they will rebound eventually. Bear market was harsh, low point was like $5k or 0.4 BTC and I got sick from thinking about the next BTC bullrun that I would miss.

I almost gave up on crypto and accepted my wagecuck life but then last summer I saw that my 1k suicide stack LINK was mooning.

Then Binance aquired Swipe and so I sold my whole 1k link at 8.5$ to put it all into SXP at $0.85, which then mooned to $5. I again held too long but sold it all the moment they announced the "binance defi" will be a seperate token, XVS. Almost went back into LINK but I was convinced that binance smart chain is the next big thing.
So I bought some BNB and CAKE at $0.64 to farm XVS and then went all in on listing day. Bought 5k XVS at 2.1$.

And fuck I was right the first time in my life, they are worth $65 each now. Was able to borrow VAI there to get more alts during the bullrun, got more LINK, LTO, BNT etc.

At $90 I sold 20% of my XVS stack to get my LINK back and also got 1 BTC.
Total value of my holding is now worth over 10 BTC again. Feels great to be back and I think CZ will bring me out of six figure "hell" soon. If BTC behaves XVS could reach 200$ which gets me 7 figures easily with my other holdings.

Thanks for reading my diary, In hindsight LINK and therefore /biz/ unironically saved my life as I would probably had commited sudoku last winter watching BTC rise to 50k with my measly 0.4 BTC.

[Anonymous No.29640107]

I got into crypto early 2018, but at that point I was still only 2017 and didn’t have any money to my name because I was doing sports stuff all summer. But I did have $400 in cash saved up from stashing pocket change my parents would hand me to buy stuff from 2013-2016 ($400 felt like a good amount at the time). So I figured out how to set up all this crypto buying stuff and literally went to an atm to deposit my $400 cash into my bank account which I then transferred to binance. I lurked for a while and jumped on the link bandwagon, bought $150 worth at 60c, although I could’ve bought much cheaper, and $250 of omise go at $12, which I stupidly thought was a more stable bet. That $120 is worth just over 7 grand now, and by buying $500 more link in the initial 2019 spike my protfolio hovers around 14k now. Not a make it story by any account, but definitely a good start, and hopefully some motivation for those anons with $400 portfolios.

If you're goal is financial independence, you would need 1-1.5M depending where you live.

>speaks in verbose and inefficient ways, with a spontaneous mixture of complex and simple words. concerned with being very precise, but just ends up not making any kind of tangible point or progress in the conversation and sounds schizophrenic

Peak 2017 buyer here. 8k fiat in, I'll summarize my plays
>Rode XRB to 24k
>Lost a lot in shitcoins
>All-in link February 2018, 12k stack
>Bear market beat the fuck out of me, sold down to 3k link stack in Dec 2018 right before it tookoff. Potfolio valued at like $2-3k
>Held BTC and Link until this bull run, rode initial graph pump to $120k, total portfolio $200k
>Cashed out $50k profit
>Lost a bunch in shitcoins
>Rode Avax pump for a $50k profit
>Had 2m FTM I sold mid january for no gain
My portfolio is like $130k right now, having trouble not necking considering at separate points I had 150k GRT, 2m FTM, and 12k Link. Right now I'm all-in on HBAR. Looks prime for a 10x. I will chase a pump if something starts to. Honestly have made a lot of costly mistakes

2016 anon here, i used to lurk in /ccg/ threads. i bought some ICOs and did pretty well throughout 2017. then i ape'd into some shitcoins with all of my btc and held them down -99%. When i lost it all, i realized that i never deserved to make it in the first place since i never had a strategy
