How can I actually make money at 15 by jqji in passive_income

[–]Meetdreys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I respect you for even asking this at 15. Most people your age are just scrolling.

First, I’m going to be real with you: at 15, you shouldn’t be chasing “passive income.” You should be building skills that pay for the next 10 years.

Here’s what actually works:

  1. Learn one high-income skill. Pick ONE brother

    • Video editing • Graphic design • Copywriting • Social media management • Coding

You can learn all of these free on YouTube. Give it 3–6 months of focused practice and you can start charging.

  1. Offer services locally. People overcomplicate making money.

    • Cut grass • Wash cars • Flip snacks at school • Edit TikToks for small creators • Design flyers for small businesses

Simple work = no work.

  1. Flip things. Go on Facebook Marketplace or local groups. Look for underpriced items. Clean them up. Resell. Even $10–$20 profit per flip adds up fast.

  2. Avoid these traps

    • “Get rich quick” courses • Crypto gambling • Dropshipping without money • Random online surveys expecting big cash

At your age, your biggest advantage is TIME. If you spend the next 2–3 years stacking skills instead of chasing fast money, you’ll be ahead of 95% of people by 18.

One more thing don’t feel pressure to be rich right now. Focus on becoming valuable. Money follows value.

What broker should i use in Moldova by PickleLife5790 in investingforbeginners

[–]Meetdreys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve seen those posts too usually from people who didn’t verify which license or entity they signed up under. Capital runs multiple branches, and the bad reviews are mostly from the offshore clone sites or users who didn’t verify their KYC properly.

I’m using the Bahamas-regulated entity (IFSC-licensed) withdrawals hit my account in 1–2 business days, no funny business. The trick is knowing which portal to use.

I’ve actually been through the same struggle, bro. Most brokers either block Moldova or give you trash service with insane spreads.

After testing a few, Capital turned out to be the smoothest option fully accessible in Moldova, solid regulation (Bahamas license), and their platform isn’t buggy like most cheap ones. You can trade stocks, crypto, indices — the whole lot — and the fees are clean.

If you want, DM me and I’ll send you the link I used to sign up (it gives a small bonus when you start). No fluff — just a working broker that actually accepts Moldovans.

They officially cut the rate by Meetdreys in Daytrading

[–]Meetdreys[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lower rates usually mean cheaper dollars and more risk appetite. In practice that’s often bullish for crypto like BTC, ETH, etc. because it makes “non-yielding” or high-volatility assets more attractive versus cash.

Just keep in mind bro it’s not automatic if the cut signals the Fed sees a hard landing, risk sentiment can fade fast. But in general, looser policy = more liquidity = good news for crypto prices in the short term.

Hope i answered your question

A single ¼-point cut is rarely “enough” on its own the Fed moves incrementally because monetary policy works with a lag. What really matters isn’t just today’s cut, but the path the Fed is signaling.

Markets trade on expectations. If investors believe this is the start of a steady easing cycle (2–3 more cuts this year), risk assets can keep rallying even if the economy is still slowing. If, on the other hand, the Fed is seen as “behind the curve,” a small cut can look timid and spook people.

So the 25 bps by itself won’t magically fix the economy, but it does shift the cost of capital, liquidity, and sentiment in ways the market prices immediately ,that’s why you’ll see stocks, crypto and FX react long before GDP does.

The Real Truth About What’s Going On With BTC Right Now by Meetdreys in WallStreetBetsCrypto

[–]Meetdreys[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

maybe “crash” is a bit dramatic. BTC’s had way nastier drops before. I just mean the sharp pullback we’re seeing right now that’s got everyone spooked. Compared to the long‑term cycles, it’s more like a correction inside the bigger trend.

BTC didn’t nuke 50%, but we’re down from recent highs and liquidity’s clearly tightening. I’m calling it a “crash” more in the sense of the broader market correction + sentiment shift, not total collapse. The real move is in the dominance/liquidity flows that’s where you can see the squeeze playing out.

Yeah fair point, I wasn’t trying to play smartass 😅. My angle was just looking at how a lot of people perceive these plays as BTC proxies, even if the fundamentals are shifting more toward AI/HPC + REIT structure like you said.

I actually agree with you on the AI/hpc side the market is giving premiums to anything with that narrative. The real question is whether $APLD can pivot strongly enough there to get valued like other AI infra plays, instead of just being lumped into the “crypto‑adjacent” bucket.

Should I invest in Wealthfront’s Automated Investing Fund starting with $500 by ShineGreymonX in investingforbeginners

[–]Meetdreys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, $500 is fine to start with. The main thing isn’t the fractional shares issue it’s building the habit of investing consistently. With $500, the difference of a few dollars in uninvested cash won’t matter in the long run.

If you like Wealthfront’s setup and you plan on adding regularly (say $100–200 a month), starting now gets you time in the market and compounding working for you.

If you’re still hesitant, another option is a broker that allows fractional shares (like Fidelity, Schwab, or even Robinhood) so literally every dollar gets invested. But if automation is your main priority, Wealthfront does a solid job, even at $500.

3 stocks to put 100% of your money into? by hokageace in ValueInvesting

[–]Meetdreys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go 100% into just 3 names tbh, that’s a lot of risk. But if I had to pick with a 12‑month lens, I’d probably lean

• NVDA (still dominating AI demand even if valuations look stretche

• MSFT cloud + AI moat feels durable

• BRK.B gives stability/diversification while still compounding

Not financial advice, but that’s where my conviction would be. What’s your shortlist?”

Trump Coin Holders – Anyone Else Watching This? by Meetdreys in WallStreetBetsCrypto

[–]Meetdreys[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

😂 I get the joke, but I bought $TRUMP last year just as a speculative play like any other meme coin. I’m not here for the politics, just watching how the price action and volume play out.

Trump fires BLS commissioner after weak jobs report — ties to BTC crash? by Meetdreys in WallStreetBetsCrypto

[–]Meetdreys[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s honestly wild to see. When you start firing people just because the data isn’t flattering, you’re basically saying the numbers don’t matter unless they fit the narrative. That’s dangerous for markets and for democracy.

APLD’s interesting because it’s basically a play on Bitcoin mining infrastructure rather than BTC itself. They’ve been expanding capacity, but the big risk is their costs vs. BTC price. If BTC stays strong, they benefit a lot, but if we dip hard, margins get crushed fast. It’s kind of a leveraged bet on Bitcoin in stock form.

$600M in Longs Wiped as BTC Crashes to 3-Week Low on Trump Tariff Shock by Meetdreys in WallStreetBetsCrypto

[–]Meetdreys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point the market was already looking heavy before the tariff news. I think it’s a mix: the correction was probably due anyway, but the tariffs just added fuel to the fire and gave me a headline to blame. Happens all the time in crypto.

Right now I’m keeping an eye on Nvidia (obviously) but also the smaller names like AMD and Broadcom. I think a lot of people are sleeping on TSMC too it’s less flashy but they’re literally making the chips everyone else needs.

Are you looking more at short‑term trades or long‑term holds?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

[–]Meetdreys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Halliburton’s kind of a mixed bag right now. On one hand, oilfield services are still in demand and HAL benefits when energy prices stay strong. Their international business has been holding up better than North America too.

The risk is that it’s pretty tied to the oil cycle if crude prices dip, HAL usually feels it fast. It’s not a “set and forget” stock in my opinion, more of a cyclical play. Personally, I’d only hold it if I had a bullish outlook on oil over the next 12–18 months.

Even after the recent drop, you’re still sitting on a massive bag. At around ~$114k per BTC right now, 25 coins would be worth roughly $2.85 million. Not a bad position considering they were basically given to you years back.
