The math doesn't add up.

If your dad put 2btc into XRP at the lowest point after 2015 and sold around the highest point he'd have about 20BTC, so he'd now have 35BTC in total or $230,717

Beating your dad to surpass him is a braindead way to go about it, unless you're talking at a chess game or some shit. Your father teaches you, and you build upon his accumulated experiences and genetic potential to do greater things than he did. There's a whole world of 3 billion assholes to compete with. A relationship of dad and son should be inherently cooperative, the goal is to secure immortality through transmitting your genes, which you share.

OP-

Our stories share a similar tragic theme.

>be me in 2016
>awesome wageslave job, making close to six figures, live alone in swanky apartment
>have known about btc for a while but start hearing about ethereum and get really interested
>put in roughly $20k into eth and btc (around $9th and $800btc prices at the time)
>discover shitcoins. go balls deep in ICN, REP, GNT, and XRP
>tell father all about it. beg him to throw in some money
>he refuses, I respond by putting $1k in ETH for him and sending it over

>fast forward: I fall for day trading meme and trade away all of my shitcoins, lose most of my BTC, and ETH

>bull run happens and alt season hits - miss the moon on every single alt
>holding barely 1 btc and a few eth

sorry this is long, but my fathers $1k in eth is now worth more than my entire portfolio.

I could have been a fucking multi-millionaire and never worked again.

oh and btw, i quit my wageslave job in june when eth started pumping hard thinking I could retire and now I'm a hard-stuck NEET in my mom's basement.

What did you do, download a keylogger from the IRS? Upload vlogs to jewtube detailing your trading habits, including a sneak peek at your spreadsheet? I mean, wtf is XMR even there for if you're going to declare your trades? Fuck.

I am (or was, really.. because I'm basically broke now) using trading funds as my sole source of income after leaving my wage slave job. The amount of anxiety involved with fucking the IRS over versus me having less NEET bucks to dick around with is more than a fair trade in my books. I just used my CPA and made sure I took all applicable deductions and it wasn't that bad in the end.

Unfortunately i'm not 19 with an employment history of 2 years min wage hourly jobs. I'm a successful (formerly..) businessman who has been paying very large tax bills for years now.

If you want to cash out with gift cards for fucking walmart and try to live off that, go for it.

Wow. Literally sounds like you and your dad have a compatible relationship and you're bitching about not making as much money as him. He's older, probably has a smaller risk tolerance than you. You learned a lesson and he was both smart and lucky. Move the fuck on you can try again next bull run and hopefully retain some fucking lessons you learned this time around.
