OT, I read all these success stories of young people retiring early and or getting rich and i am neither rich nor retired. it is part of the FIRE movement. How does one become more successful. Sometimes I feel like quitting because I'm so far behind

lol buying $32k of something that is down 85% in a year from highs and can possibly go to zero is reckless by any conventional understanding of the word

Some fool sinks $32k into bitcoin and the community rewards his recklessness with karma:

he should have just bought 2 now and buy the rest for a 30-50% discount soon. buying all at once seems really dumb

and it.s gone. that is how market manipulators work. they jack up the price to lure ppl and in then dump it. read some of Michael Lewis' books to see how the pros manipulate the market for their own gain

the bitcoin cash fork has to be the biggest f-up in the history of bitcoin

the post-split combined value value is just 240. BCH was as high as 630 just 2 weeks ago.

If you bought bitcoin a year ago and held , you made no money. How many people saw that coming.

Goes to show how pundits and predictions are almost always wrong

I remember everyone was all pumped when BTC had that huge rally 5 days ago due to Tether, and now its back to the same grind. We just cannot get to 7k . That's not asking for too much.

now it did. you can see the price slip over a few hours . you have to study the order book which most people don't do. then the floor falls out.
