It was fun believing for a second that we may finally be a part of the wealthy elite thanks to believing in bitcoins early on...


Chuckle. Weren't you the one who borrowed $1m from your dad and intended to put it into bitcoin without telling him? Newsflash, kid: you ARE the wealthy elite.

(apologies if that was someone else...lol)

And newsflash, just because your parents have money doesn't mean you do.



Are you really that naive (rhetorical question)? If you have access to someone handing you a $1m, you ARE indeed the wealthy elite, regardless of your particular net worth. Talented entrepreneurs, who think deeply for themselves, aren't fickle and reactionary, develop real skills, execute products, etc, etc, struggle to raise $50k in seed money for promising ventures. Your dad handed you $1m to "invest".

You have access to incredible advantages in life (which is fine - a huge incentive for people to get rich is to give a better life to their kids, so I'm not making a social-justice argument here). The fact that you thought better of using your dad's money (without his knowledge, no less) on bitcoin at least shows *some* inkling of maturity developing. But your increasingly fickle posts about bitcoin indicate that you lack any depth or conviction at the moment. I suggest you work to rectify that. Think hard. Intellectually investigate all avenues and potentials. Really understand what you're doing. As I noted, you have access to easy capital that few do. I hope you become able to rationally take advantage of it.

i believe what he meant that even if your parents are rich, it's not always the case that he's living a rich life. He's probably living by himself, trying to make his own fortune with his own work and money, paying rent, utilities, food, etc. Maybe he lived through hardship while trying to make it.

Not all rich parents buy you a nice home, a car and a monthly income.
