Let's not celebrate risk taking and instead celebrate making smart investments.

One 'risky' investment I made was buying a portable oven for a friend's business. I knew it was going to pay off and it did.

Great. I also love helping my friends in any way possible whenever they start a business.

I can't stress enough how important it is getting into an environment that matches your goals and dreams.

Extremely important, you cannot be productive if you're living in a toxic environment.
Great move leaving Chicago and moving to Phoenix.

1. Mining bitcoin and dogecoin before it was mainstream. I probably mined a few hundred dollars worth at the time so it wasn't life changing money when the price went up but it was a nice extra bit of money.

2. On the theme of location changes.
Used to live in London and didn't like it. Moved to Scotland and love it.

3. I created a popular flash game that took months of work. Then I spent 3 days changing the graphics, levels and music slightly and released a second version that was almost as popular

What is it you prefer about Scotland?

What is it you prefer about Scotland?

For me it's the outdoor lifestyle. Great mountain biking, hiking and access to nature.
I didn't like the crowded and trapped feeling of living in London (I should say I still like to visit London but I would't choose to live in a large city again)

Stepping into sobriety by giving up alcohol.

The gym.

Prioritising my education (in and out of school).

Not risky, just need to persevere.

smart investments

daring financial

I'm not sure if these go together... Return is risk as well as reward.

Luna token that went 40x in one day. It was crashing and it brought a lot of people down due to the inflationary mechanism. But on twitter there was an announcement that the luna team intervened to force stop the inflationary mechanism. I went in after reading the news.

There is another meme token on bsc chain. I made 40x gain on paper but didn’t cash due to inexperience. So that went to zero in the end. It was like a project that is launched in a single day with full team of annoymous dev, sketchy website, zero development. Looking back the only goal of the developers was to sell along the rally to have gain exceeding their launch cost (website, reddit and YT marketing, community reward). So it is impossible to have any long term development.

For the ongoing investment I plan to spend 10k gas fee on zksyn airdrop hunting.

I am also looking at silver options to long call options for the pending BRICS summit in August for a potential “dethroning dollar” event that has been so far false hope for more than 1.5 decade. The amount is undecided, as it depends on the option price.
