I'm feeling thankful for /biz/ today. Here's my little story. A thank you message to the helpful anons of this board.Im 40, been on 4chan since 2005. This site has influenced my life in many ways, but /biz/ specifically has been a lifeline.I'm not wildly rich, but i have made it. I just fulfilled a lifelong dream: bought a house and land with cash. I've a beautiful loyal wife with kid on the way. about 1m left over for whatever happens.Most of my 20s-30s were pure misery. I barely made it out of these decades alive. Bitcoin is the reason Im not hanging off a tree today. I once had a promising career in the arts, bu since 2013, every opportunity has been withdrawn, handed to blacks, browns, asians, jews, gays, transexuals. I am none of these things. I have just wanted to make beautiful things with the talents god gave me.
This will come as a surprise to no one, but from direct, personal experience, the entirety of US culture gatekept by jews and tribal interests. This is a very open secret in new york and LA. I hate to even write this because its victim language, but its the truth. The only people I know who are prospering are nepo kids and tribal "minorities". The silent cruelty of this era had me give up hope so many times.Yet, I have survived, and despite it, have managed to forge a path ahead. It feels to me like a fucking miracle. I turned 200k into 1.5 m this bullrun. All youtubers were wrong, the only thing that made sense was the constant antagonism I found here, where egos aren't driving narratives. I am sad that the board is often shitted up and that I dont know any alternative. So let me just leave you with my simple rules, which I borrowed off other anons here:
buy and accumulate bitcoin when everyone is sure its going to zero. Then, put it on a wallet, forget it, get on with your life. Wait till it starts pumping, might take a few years. The moment you take a screenshot of your portfolio, thats the signal. You have to start selling, but do it in tiny increments. Be patient. keep zooming in and out, and sell in tiny increments, whenever you feel that greed euphoria.I wish I had done this in earlier bullruns. I know this isnt guaranteed to work forever, but as a shorthand for my dumb brain, it worked perfectly, and counteracted my emotions.Now, I check here out of habit, but my emotions are gone. I guess I am bitter about the world I was born into, but not about /biz/, which taught me how to be rich. Merry Christmas.
Grim.
>>61539713Nice story, I'm glad you're comfortable I come from a similar background and agree with your advice. Sold a lot this year to "finally live my life" as a 30 something boomer/unc I wish I had a woman in my life who cared about me.My only plan right now is to sell my bikes, 2nd car, and other shit and drive south
Good for you op, I also achieved my dream this year by purchasing a lake house so now I can go fishing, swimming, and boating and all the other things I love whenever I want, plus it has a great view This year has honestly been one of the best ever and I look forward to the future, so many doom and gloomers on this board.
