    “This is why we don’t love you.” Bitch, you better not need end of life care from me; you will find out about my lack of love for you.

        No, it wouldn’t. 2k would have been. Buying at the all time peak is ALWAY a stupid buy, idc if it does take off after.

        Like playing the slot machines hoping for a jackpot.

          If you bought NVIDIA at $43/share on September 1, 2023 you were an absolute dipshit.

          If you bought Palantir at $35/share on January 29, 2021 you were a total moron.

          Meanwhile, Bear Stearns at $60 in March of 2008? A fucking steal. Buy! Buy! Buy!

          I always read the prospectus on a slot machine before I put money in. Strangely enough the p/e on these things is amazing, but I never make any money on my trades.

      this is the whole reason why I don’t give financial advice to people, and when they press me for it I tell them

      your money is your money, I’m telling you this because you need to be responsible for your own finances. all investments are bad and you will lose money. it’s up to you to identify if this information is helpful or not to you. what works for me may not work for you. there is never a "sure thing* and don’t risk more than you can afford to lose.

    Easily fixed with a screenshot of a faked Elon tweet about Eth being so undervalued right now.

    Drop that shit on r/wallstreetbets and sell about 30 minutes later.

    I had to check, I never knew Ethereum got that high. It’s apparently at 3,600 right now. It passed 4000 twice, hasn’t dropped to 1,000 after those but looked like it was at 1800 or something after the crash in 2021.

    They had to buy at its absolute peak. Sheesh. Guess if they sell now they only lose like 10%.

        If you never sell it’s a 100% loss since you can never use that money for anything ever.

          Yeah, it’s funny that people say no loss until you sell. I get the joke but they’re ignoring that under that definition the purchase was a loss lol.

          1,000 x 365 ,000 = 1,000,000 every three years so as long as crypto market doesnt collapse you will die a multimillionaire. You’ll also live broke, but that’s just something you have to accept.

          Edit: there are 365 days in a year, not 365,000. My mind went like 1,000 x 365 = 365,000 = a third of a million. Or a million every three years.

            Something is amiss there. Your years seem about a thousand times too long

            I’ve reviewed my budget and decided this is do-able. 1,000 rials a day till I die.

            If I live for 40 years more, and it doubles in value, I’ll have $695 when I die!

              Somehow i assumed you were talking about dollars or euros. I have heard of this strategy (dollar cost averaging) by buying the same amount on a frequent basis. But i myself would be inclined to spread the risks too though. Best of luck accumulating that $695 though!

      It’s actually the more practical of the crypto currencies from my perspective. It’s setup to enable things like smart contracts and exchanges and was a big driver of web 3.0.

      Not that I’m a big proponent of web 3.0, it at least tried to be a currency unlike every other crypto currency.
