>>61920670about 8
>>61920634>>61920679>Get about $800k from thin air>Wah, the universe is out to get me this isn't fair!kys famalam
>>61920679That's rough brother but at least you have 8. That's very solid. Hold on for dear life.
>>61920726humble bragging is a /biz/ tradition
>>61920634>18 months ago 200k>today nothing
>>61920726what does 800k even buy you these days. a slighty largely than average house in a boring mid western suburb?look its a nice lil chunk of change im not complaining its just if i played my cards slightly different id have genuine fuck you money
>be into algorand>someone on /biz/ posts shit token called tinytoken>buy like $20 worth>couple hours later, sell for $300, feels pretty good>go to work>come home>check price>mfw I could have sold for $90k
>>61920634Bought a bunch of SLCA in early 2020 around covid crash, sold super early because I was broke and didn't want to see number go down. Could have easily turned 100k-200k from a couple thousand investment. Being perpetually broke alters your mindset to he closer to that of a nigger, if I don't use it now I'll lose it mindset. Why plant the seed when I can eat it now while I'm hungry? Failure is the best teacher though, I'll get another chance.
>>61920842Nigger that amount of money, at my current bills, would be enough for me to retire. Even a tenth of that would give me some much needed breathing room to really start to take off financially.
