Bittcrime: Was the librul media right afterall?

Directed by Michael Moore and David Dividian Johnson James Jones John.

Also known as.

Buttcrime: How internet porn intersects with the right social media!

I am not a huuuuuge personal fan of investing more than 5-15% of my capital in an early adoption scheme. Maybe cuz I am old now and I like my steel cut oats slightly undercooked.

It's a fine idea to place 10% of your capital into risky investing, especially if you're young, as it has potential to go up. The problem is that poor people with fuck all for capital or investment knowledge hopped on the reddit hodl retard bus and put their money into an obvious scam. This is just yet another reason why poor people stay poor.

Quick get rich schemes are usually adopted by poor people - i.e bitcoin.

I am just glad it's over so I stopped hearing about it 24/7 from anxiety riddled nerds who finally thought their years of WoW playing and destruction of their financial lives resultant from their gaming addictions was about to be reversed overnight with bitcoin.

Nothing makes me happier than when fools and money are parted and the fool knows it. Usually the fool drops money on things with little to no return on value. This time, they thought bit turned into dollars, and then those bits turned into dashed dreams. Back to working two jobs, one at Game Stop, one at Denny's.

You just described a toxic societal problem, while seemingly trying to blame the people affected by it. Money is a fabrication, as is inequality. Poor people generally stay poor because the structures of current capitalistic society force them to remain there. People not having investment knowledge shows a problem with society not providing the education. Moreover, such a thing should not be valued by society in the first place. People should not center their lives around the pursuit of money and individuals should not have 1,000x more "worth" than someone else as a result of manipulating a fabricated system.

This is just a list of excuses. If you live in a top 15 country in the world and complain about money then you are failing yourself - society has not failed you.

So sick of hearing BS like this - the pity-me-generation who are looking to blame other's for their lack of motivation and effort to uplift themselves. It's easier to just blame someone else.

Guess what? Most of the quadrillionaires started out with 2 pennies in their pockets.

Sitting at a job earning 12 dollars an hour as petrol clerk moaning that society has failed you isnt ever going to improve your situation: go bust arse at nightschool change career - shake hands, grease hands earn a new life for yourself.

I don't believe Bitcoin will overtake USD tomorrow, but there is a ton of value in block chain technology.

Crypto also remains one of the best ways to transfer funds internationally as well.

You can make fun of the nerds who obsess over crypto all day, but that doesn't mean there's no value there.

You don't seem to understand how the world works, nor how people are arguing it *should* work.

The rich have profited off the poor for millenniums, it's not a new problem. The American economy in fact requires a 3rd-class in order for it to exist as it does. It doesn't matter if a tiny group of people are able to get lucky enough to become "quadrillionaires", that amount of wealth gap is not desirable for a society in the first place.

You argue people should be materialistic and center their entire lives around trying to earn money. Aside from the fact that it's impossible for everyone to become wealthy regardless of how hard they work, many people disagree about humanity holding this up as what's important in life. It's a very toxic mentality, one that has only ever created problems in society. Again, money is a fabrication. You hold it up as an idol, when there are more important things for people to focus on.

Stock brokers are not more valuable to society than teachers, farmers, artists, or people who work various difficult/unwanted jobs that society needs. Most large businesses are only able to exist because of the many workers who create their products, and the majority of these businesses profit from the exploitation of others in some way.

I'd suggest watching The Story of Stuff for starters.

All I know was when I was 18 I had 2 pennies in my pocket - I worked hard - I studied at night school - I didnt invest in quick rich schemes - I bought things not on credit (dont own a credit card).

12 years later I was classified in the million dollar range of assests and still climbing.

What I didnt do was: bitch and moan because my first job wasn't at some fancy CAFE like start up with stress yoga balls you can take naps in when you feel a faint little tired, stay at low paying dead end jobs, buy useless shit I didnt need because it was suggested I needed to - still have 7 year old Sony T.VS that got a google dongle as an upgrade intead of rushing off every year to buy the latest flat screen T.V at 2 grand a pop.


Your generation is just weak - and doesnt try - blames everyone else for your shortcomings when 2-3 generations prior to yours they would have killed for the chances your generation got in life.
