    I hope you find something that works.
    Many people have.
    But most successful investors look at the long term vs trying to make a quick buck.
    With all investments, but especially short term, highly volatile ones, don't invest anything you aren't prepared to lose.

    My father's parent were Belgian immigrants who settled in Los Alamitos. Among a lot of immigrant groups there were wise sages who advised others re. investments.

    This man advised my grandparents in the mid-50s to invest in this company called Disney that was opening up a theme park east of them on Katella. It was the initial offering of Disney. My grandparents never touched it. Only purchased more when they could. They passed it on to their sons, who passed it to the next generation (mine). We bought some on our own about 10 yrs ago at $73 and it recently crept above $200.

    Set it and forget it. Don't let fear and/or greed have a say.

    It's a scheme to elevate etheriums value by it's creators in a roundabout way that won't hold long term value so it's just a hold for the coming crypto dump.
    So I heard from some nerds in their moms basement that trade cards like magic and pokemon at local card shops that they buy at gamestop.
    Have you seen the art cards that come with new magic packs... Some come signed by the artist.

    i just learned about non fungible tokens a week ago and was watching TKAT at around $5 like five days ago and it hit something like $73
    watched bitcoin hover between 2 and 10k for a couple of years not knowing i could buy a partial while trying to figure out wtf it was all about
    then my sis in law was like "i want to buy a piece at 20k" and i told her what i tell anyone asking me and that's i have no idea pull the trigger and be ready to lose it all
    shit hit 61k and closed at 54 today
    i can't invest long in these things because i think it will get shut down at some point
    have heard if the person behind bitcoin is found out that's the end
    i know its all a gamble but devil doesn't get it so i don't hold any of the cryptos although i like to pump and dump on occasion when the winds are blowing

    Priority #1 is investing long-term first. Specifically, eating my indexes to build my base. brick by motherfucking brick. Slowly and consistently.

    I don't think you have to worry about me with that on this TAFNAC, I am far too conservative/concerned with my money. I know my entire investment can be lost and then some.

    Even the money that I win (eventually), I plan to invest at minimum 50% into long-term positions.

    If I do my job right, generations down the line will continue to inherit and grow this.

    It boggles my mind that anyone would spend any amount of money on an NFT.
    I guess I'm getting old, or not vain enough.
    Or something.

    If I put in the work, I will achieve what I seek. If I don't, I get to look in the mirror everyday and understand that I failed.

    you can put that on anything
    an nft is a faith based system
    what you have faith in you will put money behind and that faith will make your money worth more money
    of course it runs on other peoples money so it is at a peril

    let us say that we create a card game called occult wizardry league based on a society similar to ours but where certain powerful words are not allowed to be said because of the magical effects and beasts they draw out of superstitious or possessed people
    that card game uses a basic currency to cast cards that is formulated from different types of lands as natures source
    non basic cards would have nft attached to them as their art value can generate collectability
    but every basic card and some special cards refer to real life items
    basic source cards would refer to a bag of soil taken from a certain place in the globe
    that dirtbag would have a bit coin price that allows everyone to own a little piece of land
    like the general idea behind collecting street cards and putting hotels on them in monopoly
    i used to sell swords and helmets and shields and all that fun stuff that a good friend of mine customizes and keeps in good condition
    getting one of those items for example in one of the 32 packs inside a box would be like hitting a lottery ticket because the cards digital token can be redeemed for that real life item
    or larger digital pictures of the item if its is a special land that comes from an exotic locale and comes with an actual human taken picture as well as the lb of plains dirt or beach sand or forest soil etc...
    a lb of dirt from my backyard would probably be worth the basic 2 cents.
    but a nice lb of tierra preta from brazil would go for more than a few bucks just off the start
    or soil from the cafetales of el salvador would also fetch a good price
    what is a lb oif soil?
    nothing, as is the name of a great heroes magic sword in some story i read
    its symbolic of people having faith in your system and using whatever is available that can be weighted and measured justly to support it

    imo this creates multiple streams of of real life long term value as well as constant payouts in currency that will rise as the popularity/faith in the game or its art collectability rises
    because ultimately its all about who do you trust and what do you believe and where your faith is based
    who do you trust what you believe and where you put your faith
    i put them in copper and silver weapons and other items imported from india to long beach
    that are cheap wholesale and can be smelted down for their value in raw material
    in case
    because its great to make digital currency but having an actual nice bronze pot to piss in is nice when you camping in the woods
    and you would not believe what people pay for a nice sword made of nuclear iron dust infused japanese sand from the coral rich beaches of okinawa thats been folded into steel 40k times (they use fake kung fu asian math to lie their way to 40k folds)

    maybe we don't have to put occult in the title
    but it should have titties and slightly obscene subject matter to make folks want to ban it
    the game should look evil and sinister reflecting the aura of a professor snape who uses that to his advantage
    and the reason i like the word occult as its origins are things like this that subvert laws created to curb speech considered powerful black magic that had to be banned outlawed and persecuted

    and right now the reigning king from our generation magic the gathering based from its spiritual predecessor illuminati game has sold out to hasbro corporate and has completely disneyfied the game bringing in lord of the rings and walking dead and warhammer licenses
    im sure marvel and star wars licensed cards are next
    they are also hugely ramping up the costs of cards and pumping out new sets every month which has flooded their market
    hasbro is pushing all their cards into the stack hoping to win big and then who the fuck cares what happens in 3 to 5 years
    coporate just wants to see that shit go up up up at the sacrifice of the heart and soul of the game which they dont know how to measure so they dont value

    practical magic is dying in the land
    outlaw wizardry is its only hope
    maybe the devil wants to play his card
    the one with his name and character on it

    either way you won't be a failure
    hard work has to meet timing and luck
