Remodeled some houses and renting them out. I tried taking a 100k heloc out on one of the houses to buy the dip today, but the banks needed 2 years of rental proof. Interest rate is so low money is pretty much free, but i haven't owned those houses long enough yet.

I work as a cashier at a burger joint in San Francisco. If I don't make it with my 15,000 LINK, my backup plan is to wait for Sergey to show up. Dude obviously loves to eat. While he's ordering (probably a double-patty, cheese fries, and a shake) I'll talk about how I lost everything when LINK dropped to $0.03 and guilt trip him into hiring me as the community manager for his next fraudulent ICO. Then I'll outsource my job to a few hard-working pajeets and return to my blissful days of NEET-dom.

I’m the guy who posted from jail about funfair around a month ago. I have about 10 grand in back taxes to pay from last year due to some medical bills that wiped out my tax account. (Private contractor, so I have to pay double into social security that I will never receive because boomers) I am looking down the barrel of some steep legal fees as well. Probably anywhere between 5-8k when all is said and done. I am a live sound engineer, meaning I set up and mix bands for a living. By my calculations, I will have to set up roughly 277 bands just to pay off my tax bill and legal fees, not including this year’s taxes in that equation. I came down to Nashville to get high and make music. I guess one out of two ain’t bad. It’s going to be a long 2018, bros. Still holding onto my funfair. I believe in the tech, but the externalities of the market look grim. I wish you all the best of luck.

Shouts out to the dead dad crew out there. My best friend growing up had his dad pass of liver failure (booze) when he was about 14.

I can't believe how much of a fucking autistic edgelord /b/ had turned me into at the time, I was giving him shit about not 'getting over' his dad's death and getting his life together.

Fast forward a few years, my dad an heroes out of the blue. It's been three years since and I still haven't "gotten over it". Every day just gets harder. Fuck man. Good luck boys.

Crypto is basically my only out. I've got PTSD out the fucking wazoo. Have bombed like 30 job interviews. Only job I've had out of college was one basically handed to me by an old friend who trusted me.
