Ah yes. How to get by without a job:
- Fraud (false warranty claims)
- Theft (stealing coins from vending machine)
- Gambling (crypto)
- Literally just self-employment (starting a drop shipping business/flipping things on eBay)
yeah you’re only allowed to do those things if you have a net worth over 25 million
Crypto trade
There’s where all the money went I guess. Gotta steal toilet paper to leverage that crypto position. (After you’ve already lost everything several times)
You can make significant money by trading crypto peer-to-peer. It is incredibly risky but you can make around 6-7% profit after fees. I made around 2,000-3,000 USD monthly, moving around 40,000 USD in volume. The main risks are chargebacks and account closures.
It wasn’t free money, of course. But the profit-to-effort ratio is pretty high once you figure out how to weed the good clients from the bad (scammers who will pay, receive crypto, and then dispute the payment).
Do not ask me how to do this and do not reply to anyone who comments below claiming to know how, because they’re probably a scammer.
Investments are not effort-to-profit. They are risk-to-profit.
There is no such a thing as risk-free investing. If there is an investment with good returns, it means it’s just as easy to lose all that money.
This is not investing. I did not ever hold significant amounts of cryptocurrency. People would ask me to sell them crypto and then I’d buy it on a crypto exchange and then sell it to them.
I do not believe holding cryptocurrency qualifies as “investing”. It is much closer to gambling as the entire valuation is purely speculative. I get that all investing is gambling to some extent, but it’s not the same as stocks, for example, because holding stocks gives you voting rights for a company’s board of directors and entitles you to a portion of the company’s profits in the form of dividends.
There is risk, of course, but it is not market risk.
A high effort to profit ratio would mean a lot of effort for a little profit.
All this put together sounds like a job
That seems like a lot of constant hustle to get out of having an actual job
it is legitimately better than having a real job though. I absolutely hate working for myself but working for somebody else is even worse
Who cares for the cash, the lost time hurts most. Jobs suck ass, even if they’re mildly interesting. Could’ve pursued 5 hobbies instead of sitting in a stupid office doing stupid things for other people
This is why companies have cheap toilet paper by the way. Not because they necessarily hate their employees, but because it would get stolen and they’d need three times as much.
Also one of the reasons why the huge rolls exist like you see at airports: impractical to use at home.
I stole one of those huge rolls from college once. It dispenses just fine on the floor.
Huh, I always assume that it was because cheap toilet paper was cheap, and big rolls meant you didn’t have to replace them as often.
