Crowd fund a Bitcoin themed card game
nice
I was one of the first few people to jump on the bitcoin train. Bought $5,000 worth of bitcoin when it was only $.20. Sold it at $700.
you lucky fuck
DINK. I took control of our finances.
Made sure we both got our degrees and got good jobs.
Live below means. Often times called cheap. Maximized all retirement contributions. Paid down debts. Do not "keep up with the Jone's". Eat left overs. Hard work. Constant skill improvement. Worked side jobs.
Next steps are real estate, more aggressive short term investing, and side businesses.
I'm a wagecuck. It's too late for me.
I'll take shit that never happened for 1000 Alex.
You'd probably do even more by crowd funding a card game themed memecoin.
Then you just have to shill it to Veeky Forums for a pump & dump.
Nice reddit meme, baus
crypto trading. my net worth is $3,7XX,XXX
i sometimes just gift random people shit on omegle
I did inherit the home I stay in as well as a couple of cars and such with a couple hundred grand, a rolex and other shit like that, but I turned about $175,000 USD into $2,5XX,XXX USD in 4 years via some risky shit.
someone will probably guess who i am but i haven't been around in a while so maybe i've been forgotton
not that user, not even gonna post on this thread anymore, but I've read what he posted on Veeky Forums way before reddit even existed.
Gifting me a grand or two would literally change my life right now.
why are you using X instead of numbers?
I get that you probably don't know the exact number after the first 2 digits,
but why not just post 3.7 million / 3 million 700k
is this the new role-playing thread?
>be me
>invest in Apple and Microsoft in the 90s

>implying I'm not a multi gorzillion air
The Doge meme is already in the game, time to shill
I bought every coin shilled here
is that mochizuki?
desu in the same boat.
Though I can manage with risky loans traded immediately for less risky investments and then assets (on that investment) that can pay the loan immediately while giving me a return.
For me it was a combo of working at a tech company and buying real estate during the downturn
>multi gorzillion air
like an alien airline company?
That's amazing if true. Props to your foresight, or at least to your gambler's eye.
Did you pay your taxes when you converted your BTC to USD?
>700k
>post in here if you had a million
Do you even fucking READ???
Not me, I work in a warehouse and need funds to quit while I get my real estate gig off the ground.
you missed the decimal.
My father gave me a small loan of $1,000,000.
$5,000 / $0.20 = 2,5000
$750 * 25,000 = $18,750,000
for as much hate as this guy gets, turning a million into ten billion is not as easy as trump's enemies make it out to be.
Oh, I didn't turn it into ten billion. In fact I just blew the money on girls, cars and drugs.
You only asked about the first million.
...
Yea, you and about 5 billion+ other people
You're not special. Fuck off
MOOT
Learn 2 finance
Flipped luxury items on ebay and made 15k, started my own restaurant and sold it for 800k, used the 800k and turned it into 3.8 million by shorting everything I could find in England before brexit. Made a few bucks on McAffee Got This

What platform do you trade on?
Well I'm a thousandaire.
I'll make a milly one of these days.
He was also slotted straight out of school into a high level managerial position at his dad's real estate company. He inherited his dad's connections and network. And he inherited the Trump company worth several hundred million when his dad died. And he's extremely old, he has went through a lot of economic growth in his time. His net worth is also 4.5 billion. The loan was also worth 6.7 million accounting for inflation.
IIRC his annual ROE is only 10%. Buffett's is 20% which is evidenced by him worth 15 times more and starting with nothing. Icahn's is 30%.
