It's sad you identify your self worth and success as a person with money and objects.
i think you have been hood winked by the media into this.
Want to know how i measure my life ?
I know when my life flashes before my eyes i will think of the regrets and the proud moments.
A key part of that would be have you touched peoples lives in a positive way.
When i am gone those are the things people will remember me by.. not how much money i had.
The difference between me and you reptiela is i couldn't care less about money really.
I was told as teen i was left an inheritance i never tracked down nor would i.
I also have Grandparents who started a Winery in Canada that had an estimated worth
i think of about 5 million before i was born in 1975.. They had sold it i heard for how much i don't know.
I won't take a penny from them and i have not taken them up on the job offer i got in 1993.
Basically i just didn't feel comfortable horning in on their game.. i wanted to start my own.
And i have !
As a teen i had a sports card trading business i built up from buying a pack of baseball cards at the corner store.
That led me to setting up booths in trades shows from the Pacific ocean to the Atlantic..
Then i got bored and sold it all off.
THEN i started it all over again because i was hungry for the challenge.
I also fixed some friends computer.. 6 years later i was self employed and had a resume
that included the Ramada Hotel chain the BC govt and countless misc business's as well as tons of regular people.
Self employed again.
That is how my family rolls.. My mom a couple years ago closed her restaurant and moved she started.
My last job was for my brothers Stucco company he started.
Pride in a sense of accomplishment.. not a measure of worth written on a bank statement.
I don't value money highly to put simply.
I don't want it *enough* to do the work to get lot's of it.
I am 100% content to live a comfortable life style..no need for excesses like a Bentley or a Castle.
Risto if you are the guy that made that money then prop's to you.. then i am impressed good job !
But i hope you consider what you will remembered for when your gone one day.
All i heard was i got this.. and i got that.. so that means ?
PS:By the way another start up of mine was Altcoin related.
I took the CPU i have and old nvidia card and turned into around 10 to 12 grand and spent it.
I DID heavily consider going further and re-investing.. BUT !
I seen the tides change ..i could see things were going into a downward trend in crypto and i was right !
I have no regrets on that and i spent every penny on just living comfortable.
There was no parties or crack or hookers LOL
I wonder what guys like you risto would do if you were homeless with out a penny.
I've been there and i win.. i ALWAYS win !
Try making 12 grand from 0 cents invested bud
I can prove it too
Here is a log from late 2013 i was making on Cryptsy..
This showed my portfolio worth i saved.. note: that is not the start or the end.
This just shows i fought for it.. bit by bit.. with hard work !
Turning nothing 0 cents into something !
