I wanna hear stories from former poorfags that actually made it in life. No richfags that accumulated using daddy's wealth.
I need inspiration so that I don't end up roping in the near future.

Not me but my father, he was born in a village, studied to become a doctor, bought assets continuously (real estate mostly but also some precious metals) rather than memecoins shilled on an animeimageboard. And now he has a modest amount of wealth.
Biggest investment is to yourself, get educated, get a good job, live below your means, don't fall into meme schemes

Hoping to ride ETH to around $125k if possible, then all in Link until $50 and get $250k, then all in BTC until $500k, which is enough to retire in my shithole country

Yeah fomo is always there but that hard work also makes you value what you already have even more. I'm also quite frugal so my life style will not change that much from 1 mil to 10 mil, maybe I will buy a new pc every year instead of waiting 3 thats about it.
Both me and my father also have what I call "middle class cowardice" constant aversion from taking risks.
I remember him buying a "painting" for about 4200 euros...basically getting scammd by some art gallery owner. That shit will never going to break even, and man even 4.2k euro hurts.

Not really a poorfag I work for a family company... 12 hours/day 6 days a week, 7 days during peak covid hysteria (march-july) because noone else could cover for me. I make about 20k USD a year after taxes with room and board covered. I haven't had time off for 2 years now and I've been doing the work of 2 execs that make (and continue to) more than quintuple my salary but "can't" work due to visa issues. Covid has let them get away with whatever they want just getting hookers and drinking til 4 am not showing up to work for weeks at a time and whenever its discussed in meetings its just "yeah visa issues", starting to think they have dirt on my Dad or something.
I'm at 140k usd now put most of my money into Link, FTM, and AVAX. Got in GRT at 18 cents sold it at 55. Very little day trading. I spend virtually all of my currency on crypto.
I think as long you don't have a kid/wife and you aren't window washer at the gas station full-time level poor anybody has a decent shot at making it.

I worked waitering jobs and did things like uber eats to make ends meet before, was not even making min wage after factoring everything in.
I started doing ecom part time then full time, currently saved near 300k which isnt making it in the usa. But i live in a 3rd world country now living it up, still making low 6 figures in usd.
Im happy here, i got friends, get hookers when i need it

Not a total poorfag but I got into crypto after I had already graduated college with a bs degree and was basically just working some minimum wage job going out drinking every night with no real future plan. Was raised middle class but my family broke apart and by 23-24 I was living in a $1200 a month apartment with 2 roommates and still living paycheck to paycheck. Anyway I got lucky and inherited a bit of cash from grandparents. Used whatever was left over after paying debts to buy eth. Also used some btc from winning a bet on Trump 2016 election. I made good shitcoin trades until I went all in Link in 2018. Sitting on over 4 mil usd currently after buying a nearly million dollar house. Also have a steady job and am working until generational wealth and staking. Will likely never sell the entirety of my crypto at this point. Feels good.

I was broke at 29, now I'm 40 and closing in on my 10th million - thanks to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
I managed to find a decent job in 2009, which allowed me to save some money up. When 2014 rolled around I started to look into Bitcoin and put a large amount of the money I had into it, because I believed in it.
Got into Ethereum relatively early as well when it was around $30 because of the bitcointalk forum.
Now I have good chunks of several cryptos, /biz/ shilled me chainlink when it was around 50 cents, so I will forever be grateful for this place no matter what.
Point is, once you've had a good start (which is entirely within your power) things can snowball quickly if you stay disciplined, especially at the beginning.
It's all still early days in crypto, still a lot of time left to turn a few thousand into a few million.

I think about it occasionally and it’s a yes and no. A lot of things definitely lined up. From ever meeting the person who told me about crypto, to being able to throw a dart at any random project in 2017 and still profit. I think the biggest hurdle was with Link. When everything was crashing in early 2018 I sunk over 100k+ usd into Link after sifting through the breadcrumbs and fud, realizing the potential. Then watching my entire stack STILL fall nearly 95% of its ath, and stick through it when I could have just cashed out and had 30-40k as a semi decent savings for a temporary time. I’ll never let anyone tell me I got lucky AFTER I had already sat here for weeks and deciding Link was the next big thing then having the fortitude to sit through nearly 2 years before it did anything significant. Those were some brutal times and anyone else holding through them will tell you the same and say they were rewarded accordingly

Every time I post in one of these threads I get called a larping faggot. Probably because my success story is something only 1/10,000 people can do but anyways. I was born poor af. As a kid I lived in trailer parks, I’ve been on foodstamps, I didn’t have a bedroom for 2 years and slept on a couch every night. I got a bachelors in computer science. I worked 2 years as a code monkey then quit to start my own business at 24. I was a self made millionaire by 30.

I havent quite made it yet, but this year after dipping deep into my 18k savings ive been hovering around 100-110k in my portfolio which is more than I have made through 5 years of waging and will be around x4 of my savings after taxes if not slightly more. Ive never really felt so optimistic and it will give a good foothold in life now.

I agree with that. I would say 90% of people in crypto treat it as such. Buying meme coins, PnDs, have no understand of the markets and lack the big picture. Just look at XRP and Doge as an example. But as with all markets DYOR and you can make a lot.

Defitniely not as good of gains to be made on those in particular, but they’re still an excellent foundation for anyone DCA’ing whatever extra money they have. Especially if you’re young and plan to spend it recklessly on hedonistic shit like bars, drugs, clothes, etc. use it instead to set a basis for the future. I hate to make price predictions but seeing how this space has gone over the last 5-6 years, it’s no longer out of the realm of possibility to see $100k btc, $5k eth, and $100 Link within a conservative 5 year time period from now. Those alone are all 3-5x that you’d likely never see in traditional avenues like an ira or mutual fund. Then it’s up to you to go into more risky ventures. I had a normie friend who I got into crypto early last year buy aave and make a nice chunk of change. But he did the research. You don’t need to be some basement neet autist, you just need to understand the space and the risk associated (though basement autists have more time to pool their collective ideas together, I suppose). There’s still a ton of money to be made, I’m just blessed I don’t have to take those risks anymore.
>>27463504
No worries. It’s nice to shoot the shit in threads like this. Besides a handful of close friends irl, there’s no one else I can talk to about this because of how esoteric this whole space is for those who have been here a while.
