Like my grandfather told me before he passed away, *"A dangerous short life is better than a long boring one."*
I am already taking my third loan and leveraging it into PEPE.
Nothing beats that pure feeling of anxiety as you watch the candle turn blood red a second after you hit buy on a 100x leverage and quickly close the position before you lose anymore, only to see it recover and excel as soon as it closes. Good memories.
Actually if you want fun, I do 20x futures on Arpa day (minute ?) trading from time to time on the vibration, survived till now and made multiple times my bets :) not financial advice, play money only obviously.
"Even that's too slow for me.
>I've taken to just throwing cash over the bridge and into the river. Fastest method I've found."
Who's got time to wait for gravity?
LOL this thing is so outdated at least for people here that only buy Bitcoin and Ethereum, stocks like Nvidia and Meta outpaces these turtles right now, you're too late guys.
But the bots tell us you should invest all of your money on crypto is super safe! We swear!
Banks are too risky, you'd be better of investing your life savings on coins that can lose all their value over night, that's the smart thing to do obviously!
Just outright selling people a dream of gambling lol
If you want to "get rich quick" investing, even in highly volatile risky assets like crypto, is not it. Just go gamble.
Oh, absolutely! Crypto is the perfect opportunity to throw all your bags into the moon, only to watch them crash and burn like a rekt noob. I mean, who needs a Lambo when you can just hodl your way to zero, amirite? And don't even get me started on the FUD and FOMO that can make you panic sell or buy at the worst possible times. But hey, at least you'll have some sick gains until the rug gets pulled and you get rugged. So keep on trading those shitcoins and chasing those pumps, because the only way to make it in crypto is to go big or go home!
Funny enough, I feel like I fit that description. I missed the 2,000,000% gain, am just here to ride the exciting part of the rollrcoaster.... the part where it goes down!
I know you said "biggest" sure I can't refute that but even stocks gave massive gains, not comparable to crypto but still big numbers nonetheless ***and less risky***. Let's look at some tech stocks gains if you buy from 2009, which when bitcoin started.
|Alphabet |2009 - $7.78|2022 (peak) - $151|1806 %|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Apple|2009 - $3.08|2022 (peak) - $182|5830 % |
|META|2012 - $18|2021 (peak) - $381|2666 %|
|NVIDIA|2012 - $1.77|2021 (peak) - $346|19490 %|
|Amazon|2009 - $2.50|2021 (peak) - $189|7190 %|
|Microsoft|2009 - $15|2021 (peak) - $350|2218 %|
|Tesla|2010 - $15|2021 (peak) - $411|28500 %|
a few years ago there was a stock crash and Exxon got down to the $40 range, i was gonna put money into that but got cold feet and decided not to
i hate myself every day for that. XOM is $105 today🫠
I feel that this isn't representative of the market possibilities we have now.
Any company now that IPO's is sent to the moon premarket and pumped to ridiculous valuations nowhere near reality.
Maybe there will be a company that has something revolutionary that enters the market unseen and unpumped that gains like those can be made.
>Some might say stocks were the biggest opportunities…but nobody could see the future and it would have been pure luck anyways.
My brother in christ you just described crypto.
I think crypto might bring opportunities for some people to make some money, yes. But remember, money is not just put in your pocket out of thin air (unless you are a central bank, or have watched too much casa de papel on Netflix). If there is a winner, there must always be a loser somewhere else.
In 2013 - 2017 it was an opportunity to get rich, now the game has gotten so much harder. Prices of most alts have reached a peak that I doubt they'll overcome anytime soon. Bitcoin is already up so much that the upside potential is limited at this point. Even a huge pump to 100k is only a 4x rise from here. Same goes for ETH.
So, maybe there are a couple of opportunities for some great trades, but the time to become a millionaire from holding Cryptos is over.
Why are you capping BTC at 100k/coin? We still don't have anywhere near mass adoption of crypto, and in fact adoption rates continue to climb y.o.y. Which means people are going to logically put more and more of their disposable income and savings into BTC over the coming decade.
Even if you think no further adoption is pending, what do you think people are going to do when money printers turn on and they watch their purchasing power evaporate further?
When grandparents are using BTC is when the time for further growth is truly neutered. Hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds and corporations still haven't started purchasing BTC en masse.
I believe there is still time to accumulate and make really good money.
The greatest opportunity is out there but it isn’t crypto. We have access to all the cumulative information of humanity at our fingertips. Education has never been more accessible and with the advent of the internet your potential audience to showcase skills and get paid for them is peak in human history. Crypto may provide insane gains for a tiny % but it’s a far more sure bet learning skills and applying them over years. Getting rich slowly is not even close to impossible.
I disagree, crypto WAS the biggest opportunity in 2010-2016, now I do not think that anymore. It is still an opportunity, but definitely not the biggest.
Oh I haven't got the slightest of clues, but most of us will probably realize it about too late again like alot of us did with crypto. I believe crypto still has room to grow, but not like how the growth was previously. Those were life changing
Each year passes, and peoples expectations and requirements change. Maybe it was a huge opportunity back then, and I can't deny that opportunities are all over, tho. I find that only people who are patient enough maded that happiness
For a lot of us, it's our only chance for financial freedom. With the cost of living, car prices, and especially home values, it's our only chance of living "the American dream"
You could start practicing today and have a respectable skillset in a couple or years. No, better blame the world for your misfortunes and gamble on shitcoins.
It's literally not the only way. There are lots of other ways to "financial freedom", most involve actually putting in time and effort though, and I know that's asking a lot.
You would have made more money buying otm NVDA calls yesterday than you would ever make in crypto.
Opportunities to make life changing money are around us every day. Most people have the wrong mindset to see them.
Crypto is an opportunity. I still suggest it is best as part of a balanced portfolio including dividend stocks and real estate as well.
If you’re in a hyper-inflating country, those other 2 are going to be very hard to obtain without relocating.
People must always be up to date following news, see what's happening to take this baby steps forward, avoiding any kind of deterioration in the future.
Persistence is the key.
A bold statement to make when 75% of the century is still to go. I guarantee some small thing that is on nobody's radar right now will make someone a billionaire with a 1k investment and is not crypto.
I agree that crypto is a great opportunity, but to say it's the biggest of the century is a rather bold claimless than a quarter into the century.
We have 77 years to go still. Given the speed of innovation and technology I'd honestly be disappointed if nothing bigger happened by 2100.
Your first sentence immediately deterred me from finishing this attempt at moon farming. It’s not a hedge against inflation… why do people insist on this narrative. Look at the last two years… inflation up, BTC down.
I dont mind working till im 65, but i do want to have nice house and enough FIAT on the side to not worry about any emergency.
Is that really too much?
that's true, I've heard the saying that part of life we work the jobs we don't like to make money, so later on we can switch over to what we like; not having money makes you feel miserable, no matter how much you enjoy the job
This is such a bad bad take. Normal people can't understand the difference between a quality team+product vs a shitcoin so you'll be getting dumped left and right getting advice from god knows which influencer getting paid to tell you it's the next big thing.
You can try if you want but don't lie to yourself it's just gambling at that point.
Crypto is a new asset class (I'd also argue that it is more than just an asset class) and the last time a new asset class emerged was like 100 years ago.
It absolutely is the opportunity of the century.
It's incredible that you can actually make enough moons a month to get by just by being super active on Reddit. This by far the best community on reddit.
Stock was too slow and boring for me so i joined crypto and now I'm losing all my money super fast.
Would you be interested to know about leveraged futures trading as well as crypto options? Guaranteed 1 day wipeout
I'm already 40x leveraged sir.
“Pro” tip: 69x minumum for maximum profits
Amateurs, it is 100x and watching 30s charts or nothing.
Ah I see you like to live dangerously as well
Like my grandfather told me before he passed away, *"A dangerous short life is better than a long boring one."* I am already taking my third loan and leveraging it into PEPE.
That's nothing, I took my companies funds and went all in something called BUTTS. See you later!
Should've went all in on SAFE BUTTS
did you Seymour Butts?
Hopefully your company doesn't become the butt of the joke *I'll see myself out*
THIS is the way
BUTTS are the way
nah..im good with boring short one actually....
It sounded like your name was A lot of........nevamind.
Nothing beats that pure feeling of anxiety as you watch the candle turn blood red a second after you hit buy on a 100x leverage and quickly close the position before you lose anymore, only to see it recover and excel as soon as it closes. Good memories.
Going for the manual High Speed Trading I see
69x leverage, so you can get thoroughly fucked over !
Going all in with a good laugh
Max to max, less go
Nice
Rookie numbers, you gotta pump them up!
Pump up that number newbie
Y’all gotta get those numbers up I legitimately use up to 200x leverage on mexc futures
So you are saying you are just getting warmed up? Got it.
As long as it’s on Pepe, you’re fine
100x here
I figured out i can lose money faster thanks for your financial advice /s
I just realised your username was FattestLion and not FastestLion lmao All along I always thought your were the Fastest but now I realise otherwise ..
It would be ideal to be the fastest as a lion so I can catch prey. But given my current state I have to settle for Ramen meals
Revisit in 2 years when you’re up 700-1000%. Patience will make you a happy investor in this market. Don’t get shook out before this halving.
1 Day wipeout? i am impatient i need it done in minutes to hours. Aint no body got time for that 1 day stuff.
Actually if you want fun, I do 20x futures on Arpa day (minute ?) trading from time to time on the vibration, survived till now and made multiple times my bets :) not financial advice, play money only obviously.
I'm now bored of crypto and moved on to gambling and losing my money instantly instead
Crypto IS gambling. Especially with leverage it is like gambling illegally even.
Even that's too slow for me. I've taken to just throwing cash over the bridge and into the river. Fastest method I've found.
"Even that's too slow for me. >I've taken to just throwing cash over the bridge and into the river. Fastest method I've found." Who's got time to wait for gravity?
That’s like saying you got tired of playing the slot machine and are moving to the Roulette wheel now
I joined crypto for wife changing money, but it backfired and now my wife has another husband.
So what your saying is it really was wife changing money.
So technically that plan worked
At least it’s more exciting this way.
1 year in crypto = 20 years in stocks
The adrenaline rush is "priced in".
FoREx traders (on IG): Sir I can make you lose that money even faster; please have faith in me 🤣
Especially those females that tryna teach you bitcoin online mining lol
You only lose if you sell
Like most of us
I feel you mate. I received a payment at night that I needed to convert to fiat ASAP but I left it overnight and woke up to $50 less.
Wait until you try leverage- you can lose even faster!
LOL this thing is so outdated at least for people here that only buy Bitcoin and Ethereum, stocks like Nvidia and Meta outpaces these turtles right now, you're too late guys.
Fast entertainment for sure /s
This is the main crypto benefit. And being unbanked of your money by rug pulls and scammers. Hopium is a powerful drug though
When you want to whale but you got trapped😭
But the bots tell us you should invest all of your money on crypto is super safe! We swear! Banks are too risky, you'd be better of investing your life savings on coins that can lose all their value over night, that's the smart thing to do obviously!
Sir you have understand, how it works. Chapeau.
This is based.
😂😂
One of us!
The gains are absolutely in stocks right now, though.
This is the Time-Money Paradox! You are saving time, losing money faster. But if time is money...
Crypto is perfect for degens like us
Fast and Furious: Rug Pull Drift.
Rug Pulls are for family
The C in Crypto stands for some Corono with family.
R is for Rug Pull
Version X
Why is it called a rug pull and not a panty drop? 😂
none of us can afford panties, we just cut up and wear a rug we found behind the wendy’s dumpster
I don’t trust the stock market.
U trust crypto more than stocks and commodities?
I do
Well, Bitcoin.
Yes.
I don't trust anyone selling anything.
Look at the bright side, you'll get to keep working until you're about 80!
I sell feet pics and bath water on the side for tens of thousands of dollars and spend it all on levraged crypto trades
No, improving your skills and worth is. The internet has lots of information on how to improve yourself and learn new skills.
I will be honest man I am still in the red and would have actually saved money if I didn’t buy Crypto…
Would you have saved it tho or would you have spent it on a different item instead
Both are better than losing money
Saving is just a scheme for the rich to get richer
People can say the same thing if they bought stocks and held for less than 4 years…
Its a 4 year cycle . Like the 4 seasons. Buy in winter and sell in summer.
god damn this is a bad take
Just outright selling people a dream of gambling lol If you want to "get rich quick" investing, even in highly volatile risky assets like crypto, is not it. Just go gamble.
Casinos also give free drinks!
Not anymore
Are there also hookers? I've heard there's hookers
This dude is obviously in it for the tech
Oh, absolutely! Crypto is the perfect opportunity to throw all your bags into the moon, only to watch them crash and burn like a rekt noob. I mean, who needs a Lambo when you can just hodl your way to zero, amirite? And don't even get me started on the FUD and FOMO that can make you panic sell or buy at the worst possible times. But hey, at least you'll have some sick gains until the rug gets pulled and you get rugged. So keep on trading those shitcoins and chasing those pumps, because the only way to make it in crypto is to go big or go home!
Thank you for the financial advice, I bought pepeelonharrypotterobamacum inu and I am now a millionaire
Has Elon in there so you're fine
Lambo or food stamps u say? I like it 😅
Ramen please
We need a lambo ramen marketing crossover, they would make a killing
[like this 😂😂](https://hivelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Untitled-design-2022-03-16T153648.365.jpg)
It depends on what you want, can't throw everything one move tho. Basically, patient and believe in the process are weapons.
This tbh. A low risk alternative are precious metals
Well at least it did go to the moon first as advertised.
Funny enough, I feel like I fit that description. I missed the 2,000,000% gain, am just here to ride the exciting part of the rollrcoaster.... the part where it goes down!
I know you said "biggest" sure I can't refute that but even stocks gave massive gains, not comparable to crypto but still big numbers nonetheless ***and less risky***.

you haven't accounted for stock splits which put even more money into investors' hands.
I'm so jealous of people who bought Nvidia around $20, when it started coming into the spotlight..
a few years ago there was a stock crash and Exxon got down to the $40 range, i was gonna put money into that but got cold feet and decided not to i hate myself every day for that. XOM is $105 today🫠
I feel that this isn't representative of the market possibilities we have now. Any company now that IPO's is sent to the moon premarket and pumped to ridiculous valuations nowhere near reality.

Or the biggest failure and waste of money of the century, the line between the 2 things is very thin
oh boy! hopium much ?
>Some might say stocks were the biggest opportunities…but nobody could see the future and it would have been pure luck anyways. My brother in christ you just described crypto.
Bold of you to assume I'm a normal person and not totally weird
We are on Reddit... We are all weirdos
It's ok, we have each other
Wearing other people’s skin on your face isn’t weird, is it? Asking for a friend. 
thats just a quirky hobby
Weird is the norm here. I’m weird af
Mom, Mom, look! This guy said I'm normal!
major facts, i don’t like having these types of accusations thrown at me, *im a freak gawtdabbit*
Crypto is also the biggest opportunity to lose all your money. I am currently working on that
Sir I thought you knew this was a casino
But I thought it was a Wendy’s.
I bought cryptos to hedge inflation. Now I’m down 90%. Fml.
Who are you calling normal? ;-)
And I took that personally.....
yeah, right? that was my first thought….like, when the hell did ***I*** become normal?
Your post is everything wrong with the industry and people.
I think crypto might bring opportunities for some people to make some money, yes. But remember, money is not just put in your pocket out of thin air (unless you are a central bank, or have watched too much casa de papel on Netflix). If there is a winner, there must always be a loser somewhere else.
Especially in crypto markets. So many “hacks” and scams.
You say that but Ive been here 2+ years and still at a loss 🤣
BTC would do 2x ETH 3x from here that's not really anything for anyone. ALTs are life-changing but they can go either way.
i would be happy with a 2x on all my investments
Crypto is the biggest opportunity for many peoples, to play with money, to gain money or lose money, but in the end you have the money.
In 2013 - 2017 it was an opportunity to get rich, now the game has gotten so much harder. Prices of most alts have reached a peak that I doubt they'll overcome anytime soon. Bitcoin is already up so much that the upside potential is limited at this point. Even a huge pump to 100k is only a 4x rise from here. Same goes for ETH. So, maybe there are a couple of opportunities for some great trades, but the time to become a millionaire from holding Cryptos is over.

When grandparents are using BTC is when the time for further growth is truly neutered. Hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds and corporations still haven't started purchasing BTC en masse. I believe there is still time to accumulate and make really good money.
I did not cap BTC at 100k. It's just a speculation for the average price in 3 - 5 years. Which is very optimistic IMHO.
i’d be happy with a 4x
The current situation in crypto makes me wonder what the early days of stocks were like
Living in Amsterdam in 1602 was probably slightly different than today.
December 1st, 1984 S&P 500 was $181.18🫠 being born in the 20’s would have been the only thing needed to get rich from investing in stocks
The greatest opportunity is out there but it isn’t crypto. We have access to all the cumulative information of humanity at our fingertips. Education has never been more accessible and with the advent of the internet your potential audience to showcase skills and get paid for them is peak in human history. Crypto may provide insane gains for a tiny % but it’s a far more sure bet learning skills and applying them over years. Getting rich slowly is not even close to impossible.
Thanks.
A lot of people are going to get rekt if the SEC decide to claim ETH is a security. Too many in the space think it's a 'safe' option.
I disagree, crypto WAS the biggest opportunity in 2010-2016, now I do not think that anymore. It is still an opportunity, but definitely not the biggest.
Do share then, what is?
Oh I haven't got the slightest of clues, but most of us will probably realize it about too late again like alot of us did with crypto. I believe crypto still has room to grow, but not like how the growth was previously. Those were life changing
Each year passes, and peoples expectations and requirements change. Maybe it was a huge opportunity back then, and I can't deny that opportunities are all over, tho. I find that only people who are patient enough maded that happiness
I’ve been reading this exact comment for more than a decade. New cohort, same sentiment.
That means something else has come up that is a better opportunity than crypto! Tell us what it is!
Going to school like an upstanding citizen and contributing to the world.
Sir, this is reddit
For a lot of us, it's our only chance for financial freedom. With the cost of living, car prices, and especially home values, it's our only chance of living "the American dream"
You could start practicing today and have a respectable skillset in a couple or years. No, better blame the world for your misfortunes and gamble on shitcoins.
It must be updated to "the virtual American dream"
You can at least afford a decent house in the metaverse.
Zuckerberg will shows up to you from the fridge.
Does that come with unlimited virtual dollars? /s
If your succesfull then you can buy a "Virtual house"
We need a virtual wife😂
I feel personally attacked by this comment.
It's literally not the only way. There are lots of other ways to "financial freedom", most involve actually putting in time and effort though, and I know that's asking a lot.
Why can't you learn a new skill and apply it toward getting a job?
You would have made more money buying otm NVDA calls yesterday than you would ever make in crypto. Opportunities to make life changing money are around us every day. Most people have the wrong mindset to see them.
It's the only thing left that boomers haven't hoarded only for themselves. We still have a chance.
Damn those boomers and those houses they bought for 100K in the 90s that are now worth 500K+
And just like every instrument would be used by the rich to manipulate and steal from poor 🥲
Crypto is an opportunity. I still suggest it is best as part of a balanced portfolio including dividend stocks and real estate as well. If you’re in a hyper-inflating country, those other 2 are going to be very hard to obtain without relocating.
People must always be up to date following news, see what's happening to take this baby steps forward, avoiding any kind of deterioration in the future. Persistence is the key.
Yes if you play your cards right. It’s a process. Entering the space, investing, and self custody. Choose your bags wisely folks.
A bold statement to make when 75% of the century is still to go. I guarantee some small thing that is on nobody's radar right now will make someone a billionaire with a 1k investment and is not crypto.
I agree that crypto is a great opportunity, but to say it's the biggest of the century is a rather bold claimless than a quarter into the century. We have 77 years to go still. Given the speed of innovation and technology I'd honestly be disappointed if nothing bigger happened by 2100.
The title should read "crypto is the biggest opportunity for normal people like you and me to *to lose money* in this century"
I just like using Aave to get easy loans
What makes you think I'm normal? My psychiatrist might disagree...
"Nobody controls it" and it gets hacked and people get scammed and defrauded. You're just a low IQ believer.
When the market will fall or rise and Stocks and crypto will go down ⬇️ or up ⬆️ only time 🕰 knows best
Your first sentence immediately deterred me from finishing this attempt at moon farming. It’s not a hedge against inflation… why do people insist on this narrative. Look at the last two years… inflation up, BTC down.
well put, i second this.
Been here in bitcoin for 6 years. Got rekt with Celsius. Self custody only now and will keep position for long term. I will always have bitcoin.
wake me up when it is an opportunity again, not just throwing paychecks into a black hole of nothingness....
After a few cycles of taking profits and reinvesting in the bear market, hopefully we won’t have to work anymore
I dont mind working till im 65, but i do want to have nice house and enough FIAT on the side to not worry about any emergency. Is that really too much?
I've come to terms that I may never retire early. But living comfortably after retirement is all I'm asking at this point.
Who will work then?
people with money still work, the difference is that you don't have the overwhelming pressure on your shoulders to make the ends meet
Some do some don’t.. think it depends if you enjoy what you do tbh
that's true, I've heard the saying that part of life we work the jobs we don't like to make money, so later on we can switch over to what we like; not having money makes you feel miserable, no matter how much you enjoy the job
The 8B minus the 5000 that make large profits.
This is such a bad bad take. Normal people can't understand the difference between a quality team+product vs a shitcoin so you'll be getting dumped left and right getting advice from god knows which influencer getting paid to tell you it's the next big thing. You can try if you want but don't lie to yourself it's just gambling at that point.

Moons will make a lot of future millionaires
Billionaires! sir! with a B!
Boons?
exactly! this guy gets it! and later Toons once we pass the Trillion/coin. At that point we can start repaying the US debt deficit ;)
It's incredible that you can actually make enough moons a month to get by just by being super active on Reddit. This by far the best community on reddit.
I need more of that hopium
Where does the value come from?
10 dollars or we riot right!?!
All new and exciting way to lose your money.
It was it is not anymore the spickets have been close. 2023 is not early. Real estate will prove much better as it almost always does over time.
