Every now and then a thread pops up with someone who came into this space in 2016 and has made it. They are almost always astounded, dizzy that this could have really happened. We bob around them with congratulations and well wishes. We swallow small, hot lumps of jealousy and fear in the pit of our throats. They say it doesn’t feel real. They speak like they are in a dream, because something this good could never happen to them.
2018 will be the year it happens to you.
You’ve already made it, user. You just don’t know it yet.
I came in 2016 with $300 and am only at $900 I've invested over $1400

I doubt it honestly, for 1 Million right now I'd need to go 100x exactly. And 1 Million isn't even that much, crypto and Veeky Forums has made me think so much about money, I'm actually motivated now to do something with my life instead of wasting it away on consumer goods.
I really want to retire before 30 and I figured out its possible even if you don't earn huge salaries.
Dominic Brooks
Is this in the Vatican? I think I've seen this before.

I started early 2017 and have almost made it. I count making it as getting to 1 million. After that, I'll try making it to 10-20 million and then just live off passive income from staking and whatnot.

Great. However, whats up with his left ear?

That's disgusting. I can't say for sure I would have made better decisions than you, but I would have switched up my style somewhere between then and now. Have you just been holding digibyte?

Not gunna lie, I'm actually a little bit scared of making it. Like, breaking out of the wage cycle is what I've always dreamed about. The dreams always got me through tough times. It's starting to look like reality, but then what happens?
Nathan Bailey
It is equal to living in a tragic land To live in a tragic time. Regard now the sloping, mountainous rocks And the river that batters its way over stones, Regard the hovels of those that live in this land.
That was what I painted behind the loaf, The rocks not even touched by snow, The pines along the river and the dry men blown Brown as the bread, thinking of birds Flying from burning countries and brown sand shores,
Birds that came like dirty water in waves Flowing above the rocks, flowing over the sky, As if the sky was a current that bore them along, Spreading them as waves spread flat on the shore, One after another washing the mountains bare.
It was the battering of drums I heard It was hunger, it was the hungry that cried And the waves, the waves were soldiers moving, Marching and marching in a tragic time Below me, on the asphalt, under the trees.
It was soldiers went marching over the rocks And still the birds came, came in watery flocks, Because it was spring and the birds had to come. No doubt that soldiers had to be marching And that drums had to be rolling, rolling, rolling.
Xavier Watson
I really, really like this thread.

I journeyed long time to East and to West, I journeyed years and months for love of that Moon, Heedless of the way, absorbed in God. With bare feet I trod upon thorns and flints, Seeing I was bewildered, and beside myself, and senseless.

You spend the days working out, having comfy ass barbecue parties with your boys, and shooting the shit with your accountant. You can go to college if you want, learn about something you're interested in, find a gf and fuck her when it's snowing outside. You can buy a Range Rover with a sick ass paint job and big bass and just drive around town flossing if you want.

I unironically believe we all will make it, user.

Loneliness or Divinity is decided by the setting. Anything can be made sacred If you see yourself as if watching a movie Low Filter Focus on Expression And like a movie you are the star And the audience fills your head Feels what you feel And without you there are only peripherals Planets orbiting a space
Where the sun should be
And you find with yourself you are never alone

had a small niche dropshipping biz in 2011 accepting only Bitcoins. had over 500 at one point. sold almost all of them around $100 because I had bills to pay
kept 10 just because, and then I got a good paying job and always meant to re-accumulate bitcoins but for whatever reason I never did. probably because of the mtgox shit and crash and 3 year bear market, I felt like bitcoin was going to take 10 years to really take off so I had plenty of time to accumulate
then 2017 happened and caught me unprepared. started looking at crypto again for the first time in years around the august 1 BCH fork. my 10 bitcoins was worth around 90k. if I had just held them and done nothing I'd be at 100k but my portfolio is sitting at 200k right now, 400k at the january peak.
holding 50 BCH, 305k XLM, 40 XMR, 4k ETP, 200 NANO, 10 ZCL/BTCP, 21 SKY, 350k DOGE, small amount of ETH, BTC and like 1% scattered across some shitcoins like Garlicoin
I feel like I should definitely make it this year.

Because I like you better, than suits a man to say, it irked you and I promised, to throw the thought away.
To put the world between us, we parted stiff and dry, "farewell" said you, "forget me," "I will, no fear" said I.

"They are prosaic, utterly devoid of rhythm, color, feeling, or spiritual imagination. They are architect's sketches: painful and precise draftsmanship; nothing more. No wonder the Vienna professors told him to go to an architectural school and give up pure art as hopeless."

That's what I'm talking about. Life without struggle seems bland. I always think that I'd do something really cool if I made it, but if there's no hard plan then I'll probably just end doing a bunch of horse and OD'ing in 3 years. Need to think about a direction
Christian Hernandez
I fucking hope so user. 2017 was the roughest year of my life financially speaking. I'm actually crying like a little pussy right now. Fuck, if I do make it I'll never fucking forget the pain of poverty.the desperation, the fear. No one is supposed to live like this man..
Jace Cox

What about making this world somewhat better? if I make it, I wanna open up some kind of school program to teach poor kids about financial education.
Tyler Powell
I always thought it would be cool to have an after school program teaching kids about markets and TA and investing.
Nathaniel Sanchez
You'll make it, user. Slightly outdated chart, but still relevant.
Bentley Powell
And another slightly outdated, still relevant chart.
Jacob Perez
Oh,man..thanks for that. Now I just gotta wait.
Kayden Ramirez
Yep, that's exactly what I wanna do. Also help them think like entrepreneurs. My school literally encouraged employee mentality.
Carter Barnes
It also doesn't help that I'm fully redpilled on the JQ and Race. I just can't bother to be friends with bluepilled people, they can only access like 10% of their brains.

Nicholas Morris
SERIOUSLY not to sound too dudeweedbro here but schools are really fucked up. They literally make it seem like your highest aspiration is getting a good job and they teach you nothing about finances.
