Tfw my grandparents had to slave away on a farm in a developing country just to have 2 nickels to rub together, and here I am on the verge of becoming a millionaire thanks to electronic coins.

This doesn't feel right...

They could also afford to buy a home and have multiple children

Many of us should not confuse our comfortable status with actual wealth

Enjoy life, that's what they were likely doing and they were hoping future generations will be better off! Go prove them right!

Your grandparents had opportunities to get rich too. It's not your fault they blew it.

People will take the biggest opportunity that presents itself to them. To them it was their farm, to you it's crypto. I am sure they would. understand.

Some people don't give two shits about money anon. There's more to life, although having lots of money obviously helps a lot.

>tfw I cashed out more in crypto than my parents made all year
At least I bought my dad a used car for work. His old POS taxi had over 500k miles.

Remember that when Michael Jackson was a kid, his father was a black steel worker that was able to support 5 children on one income. And blacks have the nerve to say things are better now.

>> No.7982774

honestly the only thing that makes me feel ok with it is that everyone laughed when i told them to buy at 1k. i felt like a scumbag, like it was too easy, like i was cheating but it takes a certain level of balls to throw your money at something while everyone is screaming that its a bubble

It's just a landgrab scenario.

My grandmother had a HUGE patch of land back in the days when all you had to do in our country was to build a fence around some land and claim it yours, then later the government just awarded deeds to everyone.

But she sold EARLY (like other people who sold BTC early at 2-3 digits) and we were left with a small patch of land.

And now there are skyscrapers around us (while she had a small apartment complex built).

Sure, we live comfortably because she sold (and had the capital to build her apartment), but we'd have much more if she had HODL'd.

One problem with hodling is time.. not everybody has it. Lots of items are sure to go up in value over time.
