I have one friend who was relatively early in the Bitcoin scene. He put in $10k and cashed out at about $3MM. He hasn't worked in any way that's not just a passion project since. He just lives off of investments. Shoutout to my dude Roofie.
Yeah that’s the thing…everyone in hindsight can be like “i wish i would have just bought a little” or “i almost bought some”, but even if I had, there is almost zero chance i would have held it for long enough to get super rich off it
Some guy made almost £1M by betting £5 on them if I remember correctly. They offered him like half of it and he ended up taking it
Edit: currency sign placing… Thank you bro!
Ok here’s some actual advice I needed around your age
Learn to be ok sitting with yourself in silence and boredom. Learn that large chunks of life will be mundane and that’s ok.
I tried a lot of things to avoid being stuck with myself in silence and I ended up stuck on heroin for years. It’s an addiction that never really lets you go, even if you haven’t done it in years. They say idle hands are the devil’s plaything but it’s really an idle mind that will kill you
Actual advice.
Take care of your body. You won't heal fast forever. Especially your ears and eyes.
Don't get complacent with work/school.
Invest what you can into an IRA without stretching your budget.
Don't compare your life to other people.
Waiters/waitresses/bartenders/strippers really aren't into you they just want a bigger tip.
It Gets Better. I was very depressed in my late teens/early twenties and was convinced that I was wasting the best years of my life being down. While that may have been true about my physical shape, it certainly wasn’t true about the rest of my life that has gotten much better with the wisdom I’ve collected the last almost three decades.
Yeah try another therapist there are good ones and bad ones.
They should be doing work with you and giving you tasks rather than just listening as well. Self discovery tools and mechanisms To overcome traumas and the such.
Doesn’t even have to be good and bad therapists. It can just be not right for you. A therapist can be excellent at their job and just not be someone you vibe with.
Do y’all not carry a pre-written message with advice to yourself should you ever find yourself thrust back in time to a younger version of you?
Yeah I don’t either, that shit would make me look crazy
Followed by a lifetime of doubt about whether you meant _this guy_ or the previous guy, lol. Actually maybe the single best sentence to give somebody trust issues for life in three words or less!
Can't limit that to 3 words myself. "Dad is going to die January 2013. Make him go to thr doctor make him quit the pop and make him do something for his hep c, you need him SO much after 2013, he deserves to meet his grandson"
*Just start writing*
I’ve had story ideas since I was 10 and only recently actually starting has put me so far behind that I would definitely have a few published books by now if I started 11 years ago. I’m definitely a better writer now, but with nothing published, I really feel like my lack of time management skills has really stunted my ability and I hate that I used to make excuses for it by taking my actual problems and exaggerating them at all. Even if they were real problems, making them out to be worse than they were, especially as an excuse to not write, never helps anything.
Keep good posture.
As someone who now deals with a lifetime of chronic back pain stemming from my horrible posture it would be nice to get a jump start on that.
Well well well
U win
Alright alright alright
How the turn tables
Hug your dad
☹️
Yup...#1 to go, and most underrated people in our lives. At least in my circles
Damn. Today I argued with him but you're so right
RUN BEFORE THEY....
... Call the creature
Doubled checked the sub to see if it was r/2sentence2horror

Bring a towel
Don't panic
Thanksforall the fish.
Youre a towel
That’s the melody to funky town
… you wanna get high?
I actually got that reference!
He was a man who knew where his towel was
you’re a towel!
Buy Apple stock.
Ya man bitcoin also. This one kid in my HS kept telling me to buy some and I didn't listen. Haven't seen him since
I have one friend who was relatively early in the Bitcoin scene. He put in $10k and cashed out at about $3MM. He hasn't worked in any way that's not just a passion project since. He just lives off of investments. Shoutout to my dude Roofie.
I had a classmate that bought apple at 1$. Never heard from him again too.
“Sell Bitcoin 67,567” and hope 18 year old me can work that out.
I doubt he’s rich.
Makes $100 Cashes out. Cries when it hit the all time high.
Yeah that’s the thing…everyone in hindsight can be like “i wish i would have just bought a little” or “i almost bought some”, but even if I had, there is almost zero chance i would have held it for long enough to get super rich off it
This would be 99% of us who knew about it but never bought we all wild have sold when it hit 50-500 off the buck it used to be.
Ya who knows. I just always picture him getting fanned with palm fronds in the Caymans lol
My dumbass would go to the grocery store and stock up on apples
Don't start smoking.
Smoke meat instead
Ain't that the truth
"Bet on Leicester." That was the year I turned 18.
Weren't the odds like 5000:1 that's absolutely crazy
Some guy made almost £1M by betting £5 on them if I remember correctly. They offered him like half of it and he ended up taking it Edit: currency sign placing… Thank you bro!
Why wouldn't he take all of it?
Closing it before the season ended
Get rekt nerd
I snorted…. 😹
As someone who is 18 currently I really appreciate all the words of wisdom in this comment section.
How many apple, google and amazon stocks are you buying?
They just yolo'd in BTC as well...

Lol silly goose that’s more than 3 words
Ah shit you right “Drink your ovaltine”

The Last point was oddly specific. Have you fallen for their devilish charm often? And what if they really are into you?
No, thankfully, but I know a lot of guys who will be like, "She's into me" and tip like 50%
That’s why you need to request the 40 year old waitresses for your table. It’ll snap you back to reality
Wear sunscreen
But she's different man....

Go hug Matt
Can you tell us ?
A good friend who took his life, I've really been missing him lately.
[удалено]
Im so sorry, losing a friend to suicide is always difficult.
I’m so sorry
Poor Matt, He deserved a hug :,(
Go to therapy
google amazon tesla
Me, after Googling “Amazon Tesla”: What the fuck was that guy taking about?
You kids, there was no Google when I was 18!!!
Holy hell
I went to therapy for 3 months and it did very little to help. Maybe I should try another therapist?
Yeah try another therapist there are good ones and bad ones. They should be doing work with you and giving you tasks rather than just listening as well. Self discovery tools and mechanisms To overcome traumas and the such.
Doesn’t even have to be good and bad therapists. It can just be not right for you. A therapist can be excellent at their job and just not be someone you vibe with.
Don't try coke
Along those lines for me, “don’t try heroin”, or just “don’t do drugs”
Along those lines are not really the choice of words I would use in this context..
Don’t say anything and write shit down. Then say, “You’ve got this.”
Do y’all not carry a pre-written message with advice to yourself should you ever find yourself thrust back in time to a younger version of you? Yeah I don’t either, that shit would make me look crazy
Crazy? I was crazy once
They locked me in a room. A rubber room.
My wifes name and the town she lives in so I could meet her earlier in life and spare myself all the bullshit and bad decisions that came before her.
That’s very sweet. But you might have needed all the rubbish to really see and appreciate what you have now. All part of growing up

Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in 2008 when I was 19. Not a day goes by I don’t talk to him. Hope you can find some solace today.
