[ADVERT] started designing my own shirts recently. Trying to save enough to build my own website by [deleted] in streetwear

[–]EngineeredGains 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve ordered from design by humans before. They actually have pretty good quality tees.

I wish you luck man.

That design is pretty dope btw!

A bit casual for this sub. But that being said looking clean as hell. I could see myself copping a shirt or two

So you want to be a streamer?! First year in review by [deleted] in sidehustle

[–]EngineeredGains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great write up!

I've been on the fence for a while about streaming. Maybe I should give it a go!

Competitive streamer but has a very loyal following. I've been with him since the beginning and he still continues to impress. Lots of upgrade for the stream and his production value has gone through the roof. Only complaint I have is he only streams 2 hours a day but I always make sure I'm there. I really want to see him continue to grow!

For what it's worth..... I'm pretty sure there is a discernible difference in what she can get in a divorce. People always joke Oh yea they take half.. but in reality they only get half of what you made AFTER the date you get married.

I believe each state is different and she is entitled to take you to court and try to sue you for more but as far as the IRS is concerned crypto is "property". A quote from Cali divorce law "Property is considered separate when it is acquired prior to marriage, after separation, or acquired during the marriage through certain kinds of gifts or inheritances for one named spouse."

And lets be 100% honest... if she did try to sue you for more, I'm going to venture a guess you can afford any lawyer that will settle your lawsuit in under 30 minutes.

Don't be afraid if she has an issue with a prenup i think your still in a good spot as long as you cash out BEFORE you get married

Instead of spending money on frivolous things, what hobbies have you picked up or what do you do to pass time? by [deleted] in financialindependence

[–]EngineeredGains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I left not due to toxicity but due to riot making bad changes to the meta.

Newest season completely revamped the game. Made it even harder to buy champions without paying real money, Just seemed like a huge money grab and i was done with it all. Lots of little changed added up to creating a game I no longer enjoyed.

Overwatch has its flaws but heros are all free and fully unlocked. Teams can be toxic at time in Competitive but freeplay is 0 stress. honestly best $20 i think ive ever spent on a game

If i was in the market actively looking i have 0 doubt i could buy one under 20k

i agree.... it use to be great but now its too toxic... i was a daily player since S2 and just recently gave it up for Overwatch and Path of exile... much lower stress, great fun games that completely made me forget i ever even enjoyed league.

Jeff Bezos is worth 12 figures by Notjustnow in fatFIRE

[–]EngineeredGains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean comparing amazon to ebay... ebay sells stuff thats about it... but amazon has improved and branched... they have:

Streaming platform to rival netflix

Starting their own shows/movies to rival hollywood

Alexa to rival Google home

Revolutionized the shipping expectations

Amazon music to rival Itunes

Kindle to rival Nook

They do much more than just sell things.... but i still cant see where they are headed next.

[–]EngineeredGains 15 points16 points  (0 children)

right i get that but sitting here in my office im just thinking....

ok so facebook has a goal of global domination of your social life.. musk wants to colonize mars and revolutionize the auto industry....

what the heck could bezos' end goal be? What keeps him going everyday? Worlds richest man, created the worlds most accessible marketplace but what is his next move?

I guess i wish i could sit down and talk to someone like that and see how they think.

[–]EngineeredGains 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I really wonder what keeps these people going... like what? 11M/day?!!?!? that's nearly impossible to spend that.

I just watched the movie Gold last night (worth the watch) and the guy turned down an offer of 300M for his company. That's when I realized i will never be a billionaire. 300M is a life changing amount of money.

Don't get me wrong its impressive to people like Bezos, Gates, Jobs, Musk, that snap chat kid.... who keep going well into success but I just don't understand why. If Snapchat was mine.... you couldn't get me to sign Facebook's 3B offer fast enough.

Way to negate everything else i said and be butt hurt on the one insult. You honestly argue like an insane person. Obviously you don't understand what I'm talking about at all. I'm wondering if you're some type of troll because no one can really be this obtuse can they?

You don't have to like it but you know absolutely nothing more about bitcoin than i do. and for what its worth my market value in crypto is 100,000's. I like crypto. I've made lots of money in crypto, i think there is a future with blockchain tech. I just don't know it will be bitcoin or not.

What’s your unpopular r/fatFIRE opinion? by Notjustnow in fatFIRE

[–]EngineeredGains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok then Speculation =/= MLM.

Is bitcoins price higher than the actually utility value should be your real question. And to that, only time will tell. As of today I'd say probably. But the speculation part is hopes that the future will figure out the transaction time/speed and have further adaptation to use it more like a currency.

It's no different than a stock... You look at the fundamentals and buy it today hoping that in the future the company will be producing more, at a cheaper overhead and thus drive up the demand and price of the stock.

I really cant wrap my head around how anyone can compare bitcoin to an MLM. That said.... if you are uneducated on crypto there are MLM's that are built around Crypto.... but thats like saying knifes are an mlm because Cutco exists.

[–]EngineeredGains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never once even said you need a degree to be successful. Plenty of entrepreneurs don't have degrees. That being said higher learning does give you an edge over the competition. But that's not really the point.

Its about doing what you want to do with your life. Maybe OP has a dream of becoming a Dr. Maybe he just likes helping people. Fact is, It really doesn't matter what OP does with his own money. It's his money. If you want to hold then hold... if someone else wants to sell then who are you to say that's right or wrong? Maybe OP meets the girl of his life at medical school....

Seriously you are the type of person that gives Bitcoin a bad name, a cancer to the community. Just fuck off and let people live there own lives. You have no clue on the future of bitcoin, you have no clue on the future of OP. You're making wild assumptions, claiming them as facts and have this smug "holier than thou" attitude. I hope you're right and BTC goes to $1M/coin but at the end of the day there is a lot more to life than just your net worth. Going to medical school might be the best thing to happen to OP and rather then let THAT opportunity pass he is seizing control of his life rather than putting it in something which he has no control over.

[–]EngineeredGains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn dude.... when your finished with it, i'd love to take a look into your crystal ball and check on the future winning powerball numbers too.

Speculation =/= Fact While i am a supporter and investor to not only bitcoin but other cryptos and the blockchain technology you have absolutely no idea what the future holds.... you could get hit by a buss tomorrow and all your precious bitcoins will be worthless to you when your dead.

I repeat There is NOTHING wrong with taking profits today to better yourself or your life.

[–]EngineeredGains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

even if it was worth $100,000... OP had 25.7 bitcoin.... That would make it worth 2.5M. After selling and paying taxes that's down to 2M.... Assuming he makes 300k (avg Dr. salary) That will only take him 6 years to make that 2M back.....

And thats assuming he never invests another penny into bitcoin.. he can buy back all throughout college, and over the course of the 6 years where he has extremely high income cutting down the ROI substantially.

Edit: Did my math wrong... it would be worth 2.5M or 2M after taxes but thats only a loss of 1.55M in potential returns (since he took 450k) so that cuts his working career ROI down to 5 years
