Crypto is the only way Millennials can live a non-poverty lifestyle.

Guys, listen up, this is important.

I took the boring path and worked hard in college to get a BS in Electrical Engineering. I got my first job out of college making $70k/yr . I was always told the key to being a guaranteed millionaire was to start saving / investing as young as possible. I started my 401k, I started my first brokerage account and I bought stock in established blue-chip companies which pay a decent dividend...it was so boring!!!I was such a wagecuck.

Then I got promotions over 10 years, and joined some prestigious companies boosting my yearly compensation to around $150k. I bought a house for $650k in the Bay Area 5 years ago using the $120,000 down payment from my savings and investing. Hard work sucks!

I'll pause here because I know what you guys are thinking!
"Dear Mr. CulturalDecay,
Why would you be responsible and save $120k that's so boring, the cool thing to do is go to Vegas and get bottle service and live your "best life" every time you save up $5k. And if you don't have $5k, you put it on the credit card at 30%+ interest. Duh! How else will you get pictures for social media to show people you've never met that you're cool? Girls will be totally impressed!"
Now that same house is only worth $1.3Million, I'm so stupid!. With even more promotions and raises my Total compensation is $200-225k/year depending on stock performance. I'm 38, not married, have a smoking hot Latina GF who cooks/cleans. I smash a gorgeous 20 year old blonde German girl on the side. Failure!

But what I've realized is this.....It turns out I'm such a wagecuck. I'm helping some evil CEO get rich from my labor! I toil away in my cubicle for 40-50hrs a week! I've wasted my life while the alpha chads post amazing pictures on Instagram showing how rich and successful they are with women! They are nice guys though, they say they'll teach me the secrets of getting women and making money if I join their bootcamp for 4 easy payments of $9,999.

It turns out the key to life - and the ONLY WAY FOR MILLENNIALS TO GET RICH TODAY - IS BITCOIN. The system isn't fair anymore guys, you can't get ahead through hard work and making smart decisions! IT'S A LIFE HACK GUYS. [b[BITCOIN IS A SHORTCUT.[/b] But it's totally NOT a get rich scheme for losers who don't want to work hard![b][u]It's a loophole in the evil capitalist system![/u][/b]

So - scrape together EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Sell your collection of Magic cards, sell your Playstation, sell your authentic "Real Sex Doll" you paid $10k for. SELL.IT.ALL!
Then open a Bitcoin account where you can trade using[b][u]5X LEVERAGE[/u][/b]this is the trick they don't want you to know! Using leverage allows you making even MORE money....don't ask me about the details, because BITCOIN ONLY GOES UP!

YOU'LL ALL BECOME INSTANT MILLIONAIRES. YOU'LL BE INSTANTLY COOL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU'LL BASICALLY BE A CELEBRITY. YOU'LL GET INVITED TO RED CARPET EVENTS. ALL THE INSTAGRAM MODELS WILL SLIDE IN[b]YOUR[/b]DM'S

[b][u]BUY BITCOIN WITH 5X LEVERAGE AND LIVE A LIFE OF FINANCIAL FREEDOM! IT'S SO EASY![/u][/b]

I've got serious "fomo" after missing out on bitcoin back in 2015. I'm not missing out again. Everyone's freaking out about the crash, but im excited because I'm buying the dip.

Not sure if troll thread, but I have a serious question,

How far fetched is retirement the boomer way these days? Is hard work still a good way to retire for most people in their mid 50s? I'm talking $80k salary, 401k, and some stocks. Can you get to say $2,000,000 in savings? What's the possibility of your retirement being wiped out?

I just feel like the boomer way is outdated.

Yall ever heard of Hitashi Ouchi? Dude, one of the most disturbing things I've ever learned about. I was watching some videos about him last night.

He was a power plant worker that got absolutely bombarded with a megadose of neutron beam radiation. He had some nausea and vomiting an a little skin redness and stuff, standard radiation stuff.

But the real problem is that when it happened, all of his chromosomes in all of his cells were completely shattered and jumbled. He had no more genetic code. His cells could no longee replicate. It's like the radiation instantly killed him, and he was just living in a corpse from then on.

He lasted two months. By the end of it, he literally looked like a piece of bacon. The things that happened to his body, it is unreal. He was basically rotting alive. Our cells are basically always replicating. His did not. His skin just started falling off, his eyelids were stuck open and his eyes bled nonstop, it was ****ing crazy dude.

the issue with crypto isnt necessarily that it doesnt hold intrinsic value, its the fact that its so volatile and most people arent ready for such volatility.

Imagine making 10K oin one day and then think you have it all figured out (like most people do) but who was volatility?Next thin you know you've lost 8k. Youre left with 2k profit (which is still awesome) but you are crying because you FEEL like you lost 8k. You put in 5k in to the next ''dip'' and next thing you know it doesnt go your way and the crypto drops in value.You are holding you d!ick in your hand firing blanks because you got phuck all left in your account.

The human mind isnt made for such volatility. If we make crazy money one day we dream about making double that and its a cycle.

It's just phucking retarded. Get real money and spend it on real things so you can actually enjoy it.

It just seems so slow and boring. I want travel while young, buy a nice car and nice house, but if I do any of those things tours over for retirement. Need to make a $200k salary or something

Problem is you eventually max out the amount of suckers you can get to invest in it, and when the writing is on the wall nobody will be dumb enough to buy into it. That is when all the fat cats cash out and all the suckers get stuck paying the bills.

And this is kinda off topic but you're awfully contradictory to what your username implies, lol.
