Its not about the money

its not like we just deleted all our money. my mom has it all and it will all go to me and my sister if my mom dies, but right now its rightfully hers and she has no problem letting me spend it. she literally told me if I aced my MCAT (for med school) she'd buy me a ferrari lmao

but thats not the point i want to prove myself not just thru studies but by successfully investing my money

t. someone who also gambled on shitcoins and got very, VERY lucky instead of putting money in safe coins and using their brain

congrats u can throw your mcdonalds wage earnings at a random shitcoin and get lucky were so proud of u. i prefer to put my money into stabler currencies that actually have promising technology or use cases

let me get this straight your biological father made about 1mil/year and all you got was 16k

i don't know much about the whole situation, but it seems you got cucked hard

His old man was probably one of those middle class plebs (nothing to do with income) who have ingrained in their brain the idea that each generation has to start from scratch. A useful idiot for the elite, nothing more.

> "It's not about the money"
> Will end his entire life if he loses money

i am 20. my mom has all the money. it didnt disappear into another realm or anything you idiot

if my mom were to pass away me and my sister would get that money (enough that we'd each become millionaires)

lol. bull fucking shit. You know nothing about the crypto market if you think Monero and Ethereum are the only safe bets. Plus, those coins have huge ass market caps and could go down at any sec. Lots of privacy coins like verge and komodo might topple monero, while eth has to deal with NEO and IOTA now. if you think i did no research, youre just an ignorant failure to your father. bte, i lied about the 100k to make you feel less bad, its actually over 200 k now, and i wont tell you what coin to get into

>thinks im working at mcdonalds and not at college.
So, what prestigious college are you at you spoiled underage fag?

if im in the red i will feel like such a failure and i dont want that to happen

16000 is nothing for my family but with 16k i still feel like i will be a letdown to my father if I cant even flip that

you sound like an entitled trust fund baby

have fun at the 3rd rate caribbean med school you end up at

I hope ETH crashes to $150 again

>she'd buy me a ferrari lmao
Your family does not deserve that money. But don't you worry, you will be poor eventually.

You mom sounds selfish af.

damn that sucks your dad is dead bro

Here's what I would suggest, which is almost the surest thing:

Don't buy into eth, buy into crypto. Take profits out of eth, and put some in BTC just in case of exponential growth and then put a reasonable sum in some altcoins after you do some homework. also keep doing your homework for new coins to watch and such but if you spread it out you will take advantage of pretty much every pump on everything, most floors will continue to grow for a while as the crypto market grows overall. so spreading yourself out and hodling and maybe looking for big pumps to profit take once in a while is probably the best way to invest in crypto as a market (rather than a single coin) and cover your bases with standards changing in the future, hard forks, etc

>seriously might kms if eth hits ~230
pretty funny larping
>mfw I understand the true potential of the crypto bubble of 2018 and am accumulating accordingly

im sorry you come from a shit family that did nothing for you lmao

typing all this out has at least made me feel better about how silly this is, esp considering the shit tons of money i will make in my career compared to investing baby amounts

if my grades are actually bad ill go to a good DO school rahter than a shitty MD school

this person sounds smart, cuz he knows NEO isn't dead yet. down, but not out.

>if im in the red i will feel like such a failure and i dont want that to happen

This is not healthy man. No idea what sort of childhood you had to put this kind of thinking in your head. But it sounds to me like you lived a life where everything was provided for you and you were sort of kept in a comfortable cage, leading to you feeling like you have nothing to show for yourself and no sense of self or pride.

But it's not about the money?

You're literally saying you'll kill yourself if an investment goes down. Invest in mutual funds or property. Most people here are less well off than you. Your life is on easy mode, dude, don't put pressure on yourself.

> "It's not about the money"

sorry about your dad but for me it's about the money i'm fucking consumed by greed and it's making me crazy 4000x gains in 3 months is addicting

Can I have your coins?

just cause you don't have enough money to throw away on $300000 cars doesnt mean others do. its a little splash in our wallet and honestly after giving it more thought i dont even want a supercar. just a clout generator and theres more important stuff I need to fix on me before I worry about driving a supercar to get looks from ppl

good advice, im doing this already pretty much. Theres not been any significant pumps in any of my things I invest in where im going to take my money out. im confident in the coins ive invested in and expect them to overall go up in future otherwise I wouldve cashed out and moved the money back into something safer, im already invested in what I believe are the 3 safest coins

ur mind is too advanced for me

its not about the money, its about disappointing his fathers ghost

you wouldnt understand

Your dad would have probably been more proud that you tried to go your own way and potentially failed. Don't kill yourself you fucking moron, do you think your dad didn't have financial hardships....

Yeah, thats actually how I feel. I need to prove myself, but what person doesn't? I'm at that age (20) where I'm going out into the world and I need to bend the things around me to make them work for me, and make something of myself. Its just that age. I think it wouldnt be healthy if I was 14 or something, but im not. Its time to start showing progress/success...

Are you that Ark guy, you type like him

His father's ghost! Lolol

Well if you go An Hero then you'll be able to play ghost ball with your dad

> Rich people problems

ETH is not a safe coin

yeah I won't kms I was pretty much larping, but I will take a serious hit to my self esteem and feel horrible for a loooong time if I go in the red

like that guy that shot up a theatre in colarado or whatever, who was in med school, he just snapped and broke down. i wonder if its stuff like this that breaks the man and makes him do something crazy like that

>dad made $900k every year
>OP only inherited $16k

???

so you're admitting you did get cucked hard. your mom got all the money, and you get? i mean would she at least pay for your college?

wow, basically ITT
>OP is a special snowflake who is celebrating his fathers death because he left him some pocket change that he couldnt even make much with
>his biggest accompolishment is getting into a C Rank med school
>when people critize his view of cryptos and life he immediately thinks hea better than everyome because he had a dead rich father hell never live up to because hes an ignorant sack of shit who ignores my words here

this is why people hate rich kids. btw, my dad make 1.2 million a year and still alive AND loves me. suck a cock and take some over the counter cynide you ignorant sack of shit

If it goes in the red, then the investment hasn't been profitable so far. That's all it means. It doesn't mean anything about you, other than possibly that you're still learning to invest. It's too early anyway to tell - these investments need much more time to play out.

Feeling this way is no different than feeling like such a failure because you can't ski like a pro on your first time on the snow. It takes time to learn. And that's what you're doing, learning to use the money which your dad accumulated. Eventually you'll learn how to make it really work and grow it many times over. That might take years, but if that's what you decide you want to make of your life, then you'll learn it and make it happen.

apparently the wife got all the money

Epic Wacky Fact Incoming: moms exist and can inherit money from their spouses

this anime girl is based

Believe me you need to be able to shoulder failures, especially if you want to be a doctor. I'm a physicist and once worked everyday for two years on a project it was a total failure but I recovered

This..

People hate rich kids because they don't have to do anything and still act like dumb brats as adults. The stereotype is real with OP

Yeah shes paying for all of uni and med school/DO school

im grateful for him everyday but i need to start succeeding on my own even if its in small ways. going into medicine is a long term career thing and I need to go my own way right now and make my own adventures and ghopefully come back successful in them

Can you elaborate? How was it a failure? How much resources do you think were wasted? Didn't you get stuff out of it though? Like even if your tested hypothesis was incorrect you still learned SOME stuff no?

First world problems, man.

The struggles of rich people.

oh you lucky fuck. paying for MED SCHOOL? you are going to be debtless out of med school? why the fuck are you wasting your time with crypto. in the face of 200k+/year salary, who gives half a fuck about crypto? you're already guaranteed to be a millionaire

I can't say entirely because of NDAs but I was approached by a company to design a new material, probably wasted 100k minimum and I discovered that my hypothesis was wrong. We found some interesting properties but not the ones required by the company

Also, was it for a thesis or some shit? Like was your chances at getting a PhD ruined because of it?

I might have to take an extra year before going to med school and its KILLING me. Like my mom trashes me so hard and compares me to her friends kids (our family friends are all doctors and their kids are all being pushed, unsurprisingly, to be doctors) and my mom treats it like a competition and says im a failure if I take an extra year when her friend's daughter didn't have to and went straight to med school

like the pressure from my mom is ridiculous and the self pressure from just not wanting to disappoint my dad is enormous. I feel like I HAVE to start being a winner, NOW. Like I can't be a successful man by 30, thats shit. I need to be winning NOW because of my moms constant pushing. its so fucking annoying

Because its a far away thing and its going to be years before im rolling in dough and as a 20 yr old lad I feel like the time to prove myself is now

i literally am not allowed to be anything but a doctor. my mom is paying for uni + med school, but if I didn't be a doctor she wouldn't even pay for uni and would kick me out of the house. id be a wagecuck working at mcdonalds and homeless if i refused to go into medicine lmao

Senior year physics here...pls tell. I'm also torn on where to go with it. High energy or get into astrophysics. I've been doing astro data analysis research for about a year now and desu I enjoy it more than I anticipated , especially the profs I work with and the survey i work with. But I think high energy is also the coolest shit and it will pay better, just don't have really much exposure into that branch. I know there's alot of bleeding of high energy people into astro, and survey I work under/with are under fermilab if that matters at all.

Sounds like your mom needs a fat dick up her ass.

nope just asian/middle eastern parents basically

Senpai you can't act like you're a better person because of what your father did that others' fathers did not. It's really unfair and childish. Good look trying to prove yourself though man; don't get too upset even if you do go red for a bit--I'm sure you'll bounce back as you get more experience and market rallies or whatever.

You should be getting fit, not getting emotionally invested in inconsequential amounts of money. If all your coins go 10x or go to zero it doesn't mean anything in monetary terms or in success terms. If it goes to 10x you'll feel pretty smart but really you'll just be mostly lucky and spotted the same trend that tens of millions others did. If it goes to 0 you'll feel like a dumbass but it will be mostly bad luck. Your self assessments should be based off of real shit - getting fitter, getting smarter, getting faster, getting tougher, you get the idea. I know you're 20 and so some immaturity is excusable but as someone who is 27 you freaking out about some miniscule percentage of your future networth and attributing all this cosmic importance to it sounds legit insane.

Nice blog post OP. I hope you don't kill yourself over Bitcoins and dissapoint your dead dad!

It was during PHD actually, and no my chances weren't ruined because things not working are kinda expected... Being able to take failures and not let them break you is what people are interested in, everyone fails ant some point, not everyone recovers
I have very little experience with either given I'm a soft matter physicist. AFAIK Astro is one of the most competitive fields when it comes to jobs so you might want to consider that, but if you're working hard and getting good grades you'll be fine. If you are really keen on HE then changing fields at this stage shouldn't be a problem, I started sepecialising in condensed matter before moving to soft matter and have actually known people switch during PHDs (but then again I'm in the UK and it's allowed ). So either way user do what you think will make you happy and just out 100% into it with no regrets

Give me 10k pls. You don't seem to appreciate it. I do.

19pyX4N2W5K3nuXqirHQMvUmTavThayzcN

im not saying im a better person, im just making fun of the guy whos shitting on me for being lucky enough to be born from successful parents

i wasnt handed anything in life. in fact since my dad died ive watched my rich family friends buy lambos and shit for their kids while weve been living carefully because my mom was afraid of us losing our money (I only recently found out just how much money we had and told my mom to let me access my 16000 since it was fucking NOTHING compared to the mountains of $$$ we had)

but ya either she was paranoid of losing our money (i mean good for her being careful I guess) or she wanted to raise us to not be super spoiled like our family friends who have poured money all over their kids

>mfw they'd get an iPhone and the new one would come out and they'd trash the old one even though it'd only been like a year since they got it and it was perfectly fine

just so antifrugal. their kids would throw money away at everything and I was disgusted by how much money they wasted. I spend nothing on myslef. When steam sales start, I never buy video games unless they're at least 2 years old lmao, thats how frugal i am. i only very recently started buying not dirt cheap clothes to wear cuz I learned just how much money we had

Yeah you're right

I am lifting and have been since 14 months now or so

initially I could barely bench the empty barbell and I actually hurt myself deadlifting the empty barbell

now im doing 190 bench, 210 squat, 240 sumo dl with ease

some of us bought eth at $350-$420...

be glad you didn't

ya im overreacting like usual sorry

at least this thread helped clear my mind up

im gonna just ignore my crypto holdings since they really are nothing compared to the important things in my life (improving my body, my studies) and anyways I think btc/eth/xmr are good long term holds

>short term capital gains tax is such bullshit i shouldnt even sell until like another 6 months anyways so I dont even know why I care what the price is for the next 5 months as long as it rebounds

Just wanted to let you know that you're pathetic and your mom will soon find a young black stud to marry and he will be your new dad, you're gonna get a new black brother and you'll never see any of the money your cuck dad left for you.
Have fun.

I used to have sub 1.8 gpa. Had to negotiate two semesters in a row with the desk and the physics board to let me stay. Pulled it up to a 2.6, and might be able to eek out close to a 3 by the time I graduate (two more semesters after this). I haven't made a C since, despite increasing work loads.

I have pretty severe adhd, like daily life impacting level (used to lose my phone, keys, wallet on a daily basis). I just did nothing about it until it was wrecking my life. For instance, i failed a class because I forgot about the final, in which I had a solid B in. I definitely don't have the best grades but I will never let anyone out work me. Period. Honestly I find almost anything in physics very interesting and it's partially why I struggle in deciding. But I refuse to be convinced to switch or let anyone tell me I can't go where I want with it. I trust myself to handle anything. I've known this was what I wanted to do since I was a 5th grader.

What branches are you familiar with and what should I stay away from or what would be helpful for me to learn/do for the future?

Contact me op, you seem cool. [email protected]

How can a grown man be such a whiney, crying little bitch?

I guarantee your father wouldn't act or think like this. Why is it that these boomers seem to have just completely given up on being a parent and are content to see their sons grow up into a cowardly timid loser?

>I'm studying to be a doctor
>if I can't even invest correctly
Ok, so you learned a valuable lesson. Being a doctor (excuse me, medical student) doesn't mean you know everything about everything. Don't try to step outside your areas of knowledge unless you're comfortable with failure.

I'm familiar with Nanophysics, Biophyisics, Computational physics, Soft matter, Condensed matter and Statistical mechanics. If you get the opportunity for comp phys modules I'd take them. Coding is almost essential in this day and age. If it an option I'd still recommend learning Pyhton and bash. Other than that do courses you're interested in and work as hard as possible

Died of cancer? What a fgt.

those better be kilo's mate

>Lots of privacy coins like verge and komodo
Stopped reading there. You are literally retarded.

your dad sounds like my fucking dad, he pawned all his shit and got it back instantly, then sold all my grandmothers fucking jewlery for meth. Along with a mysterious money gain to go to indianna out of nowhere.

>In fact, I'll likely be responsible for his debts.

What kind of shit country is that where you inherit debt?
