My success is the result of bad luck. I was suspended from college a month before graduation just in time for 2008. My girlfriend I intended to marry left me for her boss. I spent the next several years building a life and career for myself that was destroyed when the next girlfriend I intended to marry fucked all my college friends, my work friends, my activity partners, and my roommate. I left town to seek my fortune for the first time ever with my belated stem degree and found that it barely pays and it’s all h1bs on contracts. Everything I thought I knew about relationships, friendship, hard work and careers was proven to be an illusion. So I came to 4chan. I took the redpill. And it turns out that my new world view was far more accurate than the platitudes I grew up on and were indoctrinated into me through schooling. It turned out having an accurate worldview allowed me to accurately predict events. Which led me to crypto.

If I didn’t have bad luck, if I wasn’t miserable, if the world didn’t reject me, I would never have looked for the truth. I would have finished college, gotten married young, had a career and waged for 40 years before retiring in time to die.

Still a poorfag and worked hard to get here from brokefag. As I push on, spending long nights reading nonsense I don't understanding risking my hard earned poorfag status, I slowly make gains and edge my way to where I want to be. I have traded my time, mental health and hard earned money for shitcoins. Taken risks on all types of nonsense, lost more money than I would like to think of along the way.
If I make it, I will spit in the face of anyone who tells me I was lucky.

I think there is destiny and a karma bank.

In destiny sometimes you're the mark and you lose a loved one and curse the heavens, but it's all a merry go round.

The karma bank has to do with how things would naturally play out.
If you're unfairly evil you lose karma, and if you're selfless you can build it up.
I don't think you can check the balance or control its deposits/withdraws though that comes form "luck" favorable probability.

I have made a million off of LINK. Was that luck? Well, LINK was a sure thing. But I still needed to have been aware of it in the first place, smart enough to realize it was a sure thing, and have had enough starting capital to take advantage of it. Being aware of it was luck, being on /biz/ at the right time and honestly, being an outcast most of my life leading me to browse 4chan in the first place. Being smart enough to realize LINK for what it was was a result of my upbringing, good education, and good genes from my parents. Having the starting capital was a consequence of, again, being raised in an upper middle class family, getting an easy ride through college, and landing a decent full time overpaid desk job that let me save lots of cash.

So, honestly? LINK was a sure thing, but yeah. 100% of my gains have still been due to luck.

I was lucky to buy XRP in 2017 literally two days before it started its massive run to 3.30. I have bought into other flat, inactive cryptos as an informed decision based on research, only for them to begin massive rallies shortly thereafter, and have made money that way. Sometimes it's the opposite and it plummets after I buy, like with ONE. However, I bought LINK at 27c within the first ten minutes of reading about it for the first time, and I h ave to credit myself for immediately seeing how hugely important it would be to making crypto practical and for keeping that faith. On top of that, I have held for years in the face of massive crashes, endless fud, uncertainty about LINK itself, uncertainty about crypto ever rebounding after 2017, and impatience, purely because I continued to trust in my judgment while also always staying in check with reality. It's way harder to keep faith for years in a risky investment through continual, honest re-evaluations of its ongoing progress than it is to just delude yourself, bury your head in the sand, and ignore all new evidence so that you never sell--- which is what people who still hold XRP do.

My adult life I tested my normie mind, did drugs and psychedelics because what was said about them was a lie.

Well that got me involved with retarded selfish people, and I found bitcoin and silkroad as a safer alternative.
Eventually I got a felony possession charge for a psych (not silkroad related my dumbass had it on me) and my family wrote me off.

I was drinking liquor up for two days ready to kill myself when I found a bug in a bitcoin casino's math.
Over a month I turned $7 into ~$15,000 and they caught on banned me seized a couple grand but I still made a good amount.
I used that 15k like an orthodox jew the past 5 years and turned it into 1.8m.

My family still hates me. I don't talk to my mom, and my brother and dad tell me I need psychiatric help.
I don't have a mentor or advisor I'm just living minimal trying to land the plane on my old life and start a new one.

When I was younger I always said I just want to make money and chill, but I didn't think it would be this hard.

If not a larp, that's immeasurably based. You should really try to find inroads back to being on good terms with your folks. If they really hate you becase you did psychedelics, just tell them you've wised up and you're straight now and found jesus or whatever. Family's not worth losing over shitty squabbles like that.

Process.
Read biz, see all the new coins. Ignore meme coins. Ignore utility tokens (ixec, pnk). Pay attention to defi tokens, finance protocols. Find the coin off biz, like on telegram, get a feel for legitimacy, the group enthusiasm, the amount of wallet holders, the pumpanomics etc. Make bets.

nearly 90% of it is luck. I don't believe in any of these coins. Nothing they do will result in an improved experience. I've basically been looking at meme graphs and following trends. I've consistantly beaten the returns of my 401k, despite putting in a fraction of the capital.

No such thing as luck. God has prepared few predetermined events in the future and God grant us free will so we can choose any event to happen from the set of predestination. As you move forward in time, you are removing the events until it is left with only one and that one will happen. That is why Einstein said "God does not play dice" and why Newton believed in God too when he discovered the mathematical constant g of gravity acceleration which is 9.8m/s2 which indicates that nature is abiding to the rule made by a divine force and will never fluctuate at random.
