Hey guys,

I'm currently a medical student in the US and will graduate heavily in debt in order to chase my dreams. The prospect of being $300k+ in debt is extremely anxiety inducing to me and have seen how it cripples freshly graduated residents. Until recently I've seen this as nothing but an inevitability but after following cryptocurrencies for some months, I've seen the promising potential of this field. I placed a test investment of a few hundred dollars and have already doubled my initial amount in less than two weeks. I am considering taking out an extra 10k in loans to invest in crypto (relative to 300k it seems like a drop in the bucket). Do you guys think it is in the realm of possibility to have that investment eventually pay off my debt? Currently I am invested in NEM, Waves and Wings. Thank you so much for your help!

You are living in lousy country that they cant afford to teach doctors for free. Seems something went wrong somehow. Ever thought of going study abroad? Doctors are needed everywhere. If they get you young to train you, they will be even more interested.

I agree with that in many respects, however, it is very difficult to practice in the US if one graduates from a foreign medical school. At this point I'm locked in to graduate with a US MD. Hopefully in the future it will become much more manageable but in the mean time it doesn't seem to be headed in a positive direction.

Ya I still own 80k for student loans. Hoping crypto investing can help pay them a lot sooner. Already made 12x on my investment. Just wish I invested more lol. GL

That's a great return! Hopefully I can come by something sooner.

I would not recommend to invest money you loaned, in something so risky as cryptocurrency. I also feel like we are in a bubble right now, pretty much everybody and their grandma can make money with crypto at the moment.

Any idea how long the bubble will last? That's my primary concern with everything bursting.

If you invested on the right cryptocurrency, it can clear you of your debt and not only that, they can even make you a multi millionaire. That is the beauty of investing / trading with cryptocurrency. Though I believe once you finish your MD degree, you will be able to pay that debt. Doctors are in demand packaged with high salary.

Do you have any recommendations on what the right cryptocurrency is? I know that NEM, Waves and Wings are all considered solid but haven't had the time to expand the portfolio. Unfortunately, the specialty I want to go into requires many more years of residency during which time that 300k can easily balloon to 500k due to interest. Even with a high salary this severely limits quality of life.
