Don't worry, I have TACO on quick dial and he'll fix the crypto

Spending every dime, for a wonderful time!

I had to check, I never knew Ethereum got that high. It's apparently at 3,600 right now. It passed 4000 twice, hasn't dropped to 1,000 after those but looked like it was at 1800 or something after the crash in 2021.

They had to buy at its absolute peak. Sheesh. Guess if they sell now they only lose like 10%.

[–] match@pawb.social 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

if they were the type to buy at 4000 they probably already sold at <2000

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's why you have to buy every day and never sell. Just throw 1,000 in every day for the rest of your life and it'll be fine.

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

1,000 x 365 ~~,000~~ = 1,000,000 every three years so as long as crypto market doesnt collapse you will die a multimillionaire. You'll also live broke, but that's just something you have to accept.

Edit: there are 365 days in a year, not 365,000. My mind went like 1,000 x 365 = 365,000 = a third of a million. Or a million every three years.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

1,000 x 365,000 = 1,000,000 every three years or so

Something is amiss there. Your years seem about a thousand times too long

Jesus, just take the 5% on the million and be happy lol.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I've reviewed my budget and decided this is do-able. 1,000 rials a day till I die.

If I live for 40 years more, and it doubles in value, I'll have $695 when I die!

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

1,000 rials a day

Somehow i assumed you were talking about dollars or euros. I have heard of this strategy (dollar cost averaging) by buying the same amount on a frequent basis. But i myself would be inclined to spread the risks too though. Best of luck accumulating that $695 though!

That's when all the Superbowl ads were saying to invest.

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

4000 is what I sold at. Easiest money I ever made.

[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's no loss if you don't sell

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you never sell it's a 100% loss since you can never use that money for anything ever.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, it's funny that people say no loss until you sell. I get the joke but they're ignoring that under that definition the purchase was a loss lol.

Easily fixed with a screenshot of a faked Elon tweet about Eth being so undervalued right now.

Drop that shit on r/wallstreetbets and sell about 30 minutes later.

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

lmao this one so old

https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethereum

ethereum already been back to 4k like 3 times

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 43 points 3 days ago (3 children)

This isn't the argument you think it is. A boring, S&P 500 index fund investment was also about $4000 at the time. Now it's $6359:

Etherium? Not even back up to that same $4000...

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

brah i had ethereum when it was $100, i could have $500,000 right now but i sold because i thought a fkin pandemic would cause a recession and stocks to drop 🫠

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Nice hands. Are they made of paper?

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] db2@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Don't feel bad, I had whole bitcoins (plural) when the price only had one zero at the end. I did not hodl.

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Me too I had like three, but it was over 100 at that point. They were in my possession for all of fifteen minutes before they got sent to The Silk Road.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

I probably could've bought a house if I'd held onto all the btc that I spent on the silk road lol

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I had fractions of a bitcoin when the zero was at the front of time price I think

Just felt so pointless. Stopped mining.

Teenage me could've made adult me a millionaire with diamond hands, but this is all shit we can never predict.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Remember when you could get 0.01 from a faucet and it was nbd? 😭

Crypto gambling, ftfy :)

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Currently worth $3,642.07, but yes 4k was a stupid buy.

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it were 10k it would have been a genius buy though!

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No, it wouldn't. 2k would have been. Buying at the all time peak is ALWAY a stupid buy, idc if it does take off after.

Like playing the slot machines hoping for a jackpot.

Buying at the all time peak is ALWAY a stupid buy

If you bought NVIDIA at $43/share on September 1, 2023 you were an absolute dipshit.

If you bought Palantir at $35/share on January 29, 2021 you were a total moron.

Meanwhile, Bear Stearns at $60 in March of 2008? A fucking steal. Buy! Buy! Buy!

Like playing the slot machines hoping for a jackpot.

I always read the prospectus on a slot machine before I put money in. Strangely enough the p/e on these things is amazing, but I never make any money on my trades.

"This is why we don't love you." Bitch, you better not need end of life care from me; you will find out about my lack of love for you.

Hold it. Crypto is senseless. It’ll climb again.

Welcome to holding the bag. Never listen to family.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

this is the whole reason why I don't give financial advice to people, and when they press me for it I tell them

your money is your money, I'm telling you this because you need to be responsible for your own finances. all investments are bad and you will lose money. it's up to you to identify if this information is helpful or not to you. what works for me may not work for you. there is never a "sure thing* and don't risk more than you can afford to lose.

Mom buy AMC ,you have no idea what's about to happen 🦍🚀

Aaah classic. Forgot to prefix it with:"this is not financial advice"

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

If you can't handle investments being volatile then only invest in bonds, CDs, and savings accounts.

Terrible mother
