If my father was alive he would have conceded that i was indeed successful.
But he wouldn’t have like the way in which i was successful.
To him it would have been “the wrong way”
lol Imagine thinking there’s a right and a wrong way.
Millions of people think like this.
Wow you’re cool in my book bro. Successful and all
Rip to Pops though
why is it wrong? because its a financial speculation?
Exactly, some people will never understand certain things, but I’m happy for you, my friend. Buy BTC and onward!
That’s a dangerous sting to pull on. Can quickly lead to what defines “right and wrong”. It’s also one hell of a rabbit hole.
I mean getting rich off shitcoins PnD might be the wrong way.
well selling little kids as sex slaves I would consider the wrong way
My dad is the same way. I’m not yet “successful” by his measure (nor my own) … he has been sure to let me know his feelings on my decision to go all-in as a bitcoin maxi.
He has also tried to wrest control of my outcome by stating, “As I’ve said all along, you’re either going to get very rich or be very poor.”
He actively chastised me at $16k, told me to sell everything because it was going to zero. I didn’t. I stacked harder.
Fathers and their impact on their kids. Profound in one way or the other.
Sorry to hear you don’t feel supported but looks to me like you’re on a new path and making good choices. My kids make lots of decisions I wouldn’t make if I was in charge of their lives. I try to keep my mouth shut unless they ask, then they get my honest opinion. I love the times when I find out their way was better than mine. And if they ever fail trying great things, they know they can come back home for a reset.
đź’Ż. I celebrate every moral thing my kids put their effort into as a success. If it works out the way they hoped, that is just icing on the cake.
Parent/child relationships are highly competitive.
Most people won't acknowledge that, tho it's true.
Kiyosaki makes this same point.
Proud of you Hodl. đź‘Ź
Great pre-bitcoin book BTW.
Possibly billions of people around the world.
my uncle, who runs our family office, has finally acknowledged that i have been successful on my own by researching and "betting on" bitcoin. he, of course, now wants me to meet with our banker in denver and begin diversifying.
i told him i have a multi-year (forever) plan to hodl bitcoin. ok, he nodded, but we are going to discuss this again, he said.
Many “successful” think hard work is the way the stars aligned for them, the right place at the right time plus the effort and if you didn’t do it that way, you don’t deserve my respect. Not being able to recognize that working hard today get you a lot less than working hard 40 years ago.
I thought this was the beginning of a book.... could still be, get on that.
They don't understand how corrupt the money is now.
People telling their kids to save for a house deposit in their fiat bank account.
🤦
Much better to be curious than judgemental, which given my upbringing and own flaws took me a long time to learn. Still learning 🙏
Not meaning to be too contrarian here, but success at the cost of a person's integrity would be one "wrong way" imo. I think a lot of people who are uneducated on the subject presume Bitcoin is in some way dishonest, which would negatively inform how they view a person's success through Bitcoin.
Boomers were heavily propagandized and indoctrinated into uniformity and conformity. He would have been proud deep down I’m sure. Can’t argue with the scoreboard
You're only successful if your kids are successful. I don't make the rules. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Agreed
Subjective Value: Menger refuted Marx’s labor theory of value by showing that a good’s value is subjective and determined by individual utility, not the amount of labor invested.
TBH if u got successful by being the best pimp in your local city, then that would probably be "the wrong way" .. :-)
