The Rules

I made enough off my dogecoin to pay off my student loans, and it pleases me that the meme investing crowd actively took billions away from hedge funds.

It sucks having to pay for things like that, but it feels good that they're gone. I only hope one day they all get abolished.

Wow. This guy figured out how to beat the system.........quick! Everybody take financial advice from this guy! We all listen to this one guys stock advice, invest all our life savings, and there's never ever any risk because this guy knows what he's doing!

I mean, it's not like there's any precident set up of people being conned into financial advice, investing heavily and then intentionally crashed by it's designers in order to scam an entire populace. What could POSSIBLY go wrong??? It IS the 20s after all!

The person you're responding to just said what they did as a relevant example, not that everyone will get the same results or should do the same thing.

I just can't believe it doesn't happen more often. It's like do we all want to make some money? Sure. Do we want to spend an hour a day doing it? not really

Like what is the barrier? We all just need to agree to something.

The fucked thing is we do it normally anyways. We've done it for decades. We all go on our phones and share shaq shaking his shoulders or huac tua jokes. But making ourselves rich, nope too fucking far man.
