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

Philippe Charles Jacquet - never seen or heard of this guy before however he's amazing user. Sure hope you're right, nice spot either way though.

I start April 2017 so I'm already well halfway to making it. 6k to 180k so far. (370k peak in December tho)

very nice style

Nice painting. Thanks for the positive words.

Plebs: The Post

This is le computer graphic design bs. It's decent to look a though, yeah.

2016? try telling someone you're an early adopter. everyone loves to cry larp in defence of them missing the boat.

Very comfy imagery

Am i gonna make it boys?

...

all in link and you WILL make it

Why Lisk & ZCL tho?
Just stick to 5 coins

That painting looks like a bid and offer stack for crypto.

>no link
Ask again user

where did i say it was a painting faggot?

Great thread, positive vibes

yes

have 4k link for suicide prevention
the lisk is just a long term hold and the zcl is for btcp
have some but not gonna go all in to a memecoin.

...

glad I wasn't the only one

>tfw I only have 5k in crypto

I'm don't think I'll make it, at least not this year

I changed my mind. I actually kind of like the work. Pretty good, man. Thought it was le tumblr shit at first but no, actually great.

...

...

Love nighthawks.

This is now an art thread

>Wtf I'm a Christian and believe in God now!

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.

Is this in the Vatican? I think I've seen this before.

wheres this

Beautiful.

You saw it in your dreams and nightmares
But yeah, I believe it is in Vatican city somehwere

...yea thanks for your input user.

...

One of my favourites

I changed my mind after. SeeMy mistake

I was there in April. Gf and I got into the biggest fight of our trip the day we visited the Vatican. But I've seen it before, so it didn't bother me.

>user tried English

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.

>Tfw no newspapers like this anymore

Great. However, whats up with his left ear?

Love this one, too.

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?

A print of this is hanging on my wall

Here’s to making it in 2018, 630k deep and 180k LINK

This is now a poetry thread:
Into my heart an air which kills
from yon far country blows
what are those blue remembered hills
what spires, what farms are those?
This is the land of lost content
I see it shining plain
those happy highways where I went
and cannot come again.

Very nice, user. Buy some gilgamesh and publish yourself, if you aren't already.

Le Peter Hitchens face

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?

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.

I really, really like this thread.

>tfw 7000%ed in 2017
will I make 7000% this year too? If I do, I'll be able to retire in a few years.

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.

- Masnavi, Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, trans. E.H. Whitfield

"Again saith the soul
sadly to the body,
now thou art separated
from all thy friends;
now is thy mouth prevented,
for death has closed it;
nor will it be ever opened
before the high King's doom."

- The Departing Soul's Address to the Body, Anonymous. trans. S.W. Singer

Korean girl
In draped grey sweaters
And old cream sneakers
Floats through the isles like
90’s Uma Thurman
All sunglasses and thin
Messy hair
Perfect skin
The kind of cool I could have been—
If I was ever cool.

THOT STATUS: PATROLLED

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.

tfw no asian gf

I unironically believe we all will make it, user.

“The heavy red roses smoldering in the foggy morning, blood-colored and uninhibited, made me greedy, and tempted me powerfully to steal one--I asked the prices merely so I could come as near them as possible.”

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

Interesting how he painted the house to look almost like camouflage.

Nice, user. Synesthetic. Is it yours?

10/10 would rather have friends.

Watercolor.

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.

If where the clover whitens,
the deadman's knoll you pass,
and no tall flower to greet you,
grows in the trefoiled grass:

Halt by the headstone naming,
the heart no longer stirred,
and say the lad that loved you,
was one that kept his word.

"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."

Seriously, what did you buy?

*correction, at bch fork my stack was worth like 25-30k

Done in microsoft paint.

You're rich nigga. Join a rowing club or some shit

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

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..

what is this graph from?

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.

I always thought it would be cool to have an after school program teaching kids about markets and TA and investing.

You'll make it, user. Slightly outdated chart, but still relevant.

And another slightly outdated, still relevant chart.

Oh,man..thanks for that. Now I just gotta wait.

Yep, that's exactly what I wanna do. Also help them think like entrepreneurs. My school literally encouraged employee mentality.

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.

I remember this thread.

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.
