I was unemployed for about 3 years (went to school for 2 but same thing, no income). I decided to go YOLO on BTC in september. Credit cards, balance transfers straight into bank account(yes it works!), and about 30% of my life savings. I figure worse case scenario, I have to pay all the money back and be left with exactly $0. Anyway, my YOLO paid off. I have no more credit card debt, all loans are paid off. Went to an auction and won a small house that I live in now, might rent out the upstairs after I fix it. I have some profit left over, my plan is to find more small business IRL, maybe another house, who knows, small affordable things that I can live off of in the long run. Very lucky this all worked out somehow lol.
