What was the biz like before crypto? Why is Crypto the number one thing talked about here?

Kinda new here but also have some of my portfolio invested in bitcoin and ethereum.

Corporate

Lot of stocks, entrepreneur threads. Then people started making crazy money with crypto and it took over.

>/g/ was being overrun with crypto threads
>Veeky Forums was created as a containment boards
There's nothing more to it

stocks, pol tier economic threads, doom and gloom end of the world threads, financial meltdown threads, need business threads, fuck ton of tshirt sellers, ad revenue threads

it was a really slow board, so yup its obvious when theres a shill group

McAfee stock threads, buy gold threads, everyone buying penny stocks, everyone trying to make drop shipping websites, plus other scammy shit. Pretty much just neets posting asking how they can make money from home doing nothing. Crypto was our savior.

the great pajeet purge of '17

There was no Veeky Forums before crypto, this board was specifically created to get the crypto threads off of /g/

I miss the threads about saving money.

You never quite knew where the line between fiction and reality blurred.

I think some anons truly lead awful lives in the interest of saving a few cents

This.

Crypto was the fundamental reason this board was created. To get the crypto out of /pol/ and /g/

It was good.

Is that the orangutan enclosure?

kneepads, it was all about kneepads

You need to go back

Sorry newfriend there is much more to it. Biz changed a lot in the last 2 years.

That's not my point at all though, biz was created to isolate crypto discussion. So there was no point in time biz was crypto free. Also, eat my dick.

Veeky Forums before crypto was smart and poor.

Veeky Forums after crypto is dumb and rich.

>oh god im so fucking retarded

If you weren't a disgusting mentally capped newfag you'd know that for the longest time biz wasn't all about coins. We had one cryptocurrency general thread going and sometimes it wasn't even up.

What's your fucking point?

> Why is Crypto the number one thing talked about here?
Veeky Forums: internet message board
crypto-currency: is basically just some sort of algorithm

well, I can't see the connection either

Fx generals
Stock market game
Frugal threads
Au and ag porn
Ebay and dropshipping scammers
Kneepads
Dicks hanging out of suits

How do you make money and get rich?

affiliate marketing
make websites and blogs
drop shipping
stock markets if you got big boy money
buy and sell gold
penny stocks
T shirt sellers

Then came Crypto which destroys all of them in terms of gain and we're the first wave of gold miners heading out there trying to strike it rich.

It's no surprise how it took over the board because currently there's nothing out there that gives you the gains that crypto will bring and scales with your wealth.

there was maybe one crypto thread in the catalog at once, generally about bitcoin or the occassional chain, generally investment advice, get rich quick schemes and discussing cuck life

resume threads
job advice, interviews ect. threads
drop shipping
gold and silver (both physical and stocks)
robinhood general
the occasional options thread
cryptocurrency general
something something credit card fraud
larp threads about someone inheriting a fortune off their parents (still happens unfortunately)
lots of bear threads about the economy going to shit any day now
a handful of btc and eth threads that would get shitposted to death because most of the board hated crypto

it was pretty comfy t b h. id wish it would return to a low traffic board with better discussion for crypto. the amount of pajeet shill threads i see on a daily basis is ludicrous

It will go back after the crypto mania is over and normies go back to their day jobs.

I remember there being a lot more wageslave threads.

Also the early crypto threads were pretty boring

Yup I tried playing stocks with Robinhood and a 10% gain from AMD doesn't cut it.
The only incredible thing I remember happening was the shit was the Dry shipping stocks but (((they))) cut their momentum and I only got a quarter what I could've

Not quite. Even a year ago it wasn’t this overrun with crypto threads. Now there’s not s single thread in the catalog that isn’t about crypto.

>comfy talk about mining rigs on /g/
>/g/ overrun by crypto trading fags
>Veeky Forums created
>no talk about mining rigs on /g/ now, or you get banned for talking about crypto!
>make a topic about mining rigs on Veeky Forums
>"wtf are you talking about user, wtf is your computer shit, go back to /g/ fag lol gaymer"

Veeky Forums recommended reads? Every fucking day.

Muh Richest Man in Babylon.

Only newfags parrot this.
