I reached $100,000 in investments at age 29, and $500,000 by age 34.
I have been investing since I was 10. My father would let me buy/sell βfractional sharesβ with what I saved of my allowance, which was 25 cents a week Γ my age. My father taught me a low time preference. He taught me saving and investing before I could drive a car.
I have owned technology mutual funds, broad market index funds, diverse ETFβs, individual company stocks, real estate, and Bitcoin. Real estate has done well, but only due to buying in at the bottom of the β08 Financial Crisis. Fortunate timing. But a home isnβt the greatest store of value.
My best choice by far has been saving in Bitcoin. I was orange-pilled in 2021, like so many. I have endless respect for all those who got here even earlier.
Iβve read @saifedean.
Iβve studied economics.
Iβve read the Bitcoin source code (computer science major)
Iβve done the math.
Iβve put in the work.
Iβm in agreement with @saylor.
I have never sold a sat.
I am convinced Bitcoin will continue to outperform all other assets for a long time.
Iβm no genius, like many of you are. But Iβm here to help, to orange-pill others, to spread knowledge, to respect and honor Bitcoins history and origins, to create and spread the memes, and to encourage us all to live a happy life amidst a messed up world.
Money is a protection in life.
Itβs not the goal of life.
But handle it properly, and you wonβt waste your life striving for protection - youβll live your life protected the best you can.
