Here's something to buy and invest in ... carwashes and laundromats. Pretty much free money.
Takes a lotta capital @Scooter, long hours 'n hard work.

Can you spare $50-100,000 for a down payment?

If you feel yer at an age where time is on yer side, then go for it.

But...if you start those kind of business too late in life...

...well I've seen Old Men die in their businesses because they caint unload or get rid of them later on.

In that regard bitcoin or a business based on bitcoin transactions is a better bet.

Potentiallly low risk if you set it up right and good returns.

Anyway think of being the wager earner in 1929 before the crash or even 2008.

What would have been a better bet...sinking all of your savings into the stock market and seeing them evaporate in the crash the next day?

Or...another way people could have done it...was to be asked to be paid in company shares.

So if a person asked be paid in 10 shares of GM at $50 each and then went down to $5, no fucks given.

All you lost was your time and labor, none of your savings/capital.

Anyways, that's how I'd try to approach it.

Likewise, bitcoin is akin to the Stock Market of 1929.

Very risky, extremely volatile so its best to find a way to avoid losing your shirt in a price crash.

and it's too expensive to buy at $100,000 a coin.

That's why a lot of those CEOs are so rich because they often don't get paid in a salary but company shares instead.

Senile @Joe, if you



A) Perform a service and get paid in Bitcoin

versus

B) Perform a service and get paid in cash and then use that cash to purchase Bitcoin....



What is the fuckin' difference?

Well Lex @The Prowler in the 2 examples you provided:

A) You risk your time/labor
B) You risk your savings.

So if the investment goes South in A you lose your time/effort

But if B you take a loss on your net wealth.

A your bank account remains the same
B your bank account takes a hit.

So its somewhat understandable why CEOs or Board Directors like being paid or compensated in company shares. Because they didn't risk their own savings to obtain the shares.

In that regard, CEOs or Board Directors play by a different set of rules than the average retail Investor & enjoy an advantage over them.

Likewise if you own a small company and you sell a product or service, seems preferable to be paid by a customer in bitcoin rather than using the dollars in your bank account to buy it.

My parents owned a Laundromat in a small town. they did very well. I believe they sold it, and doubled then investment. We used to fish out the real silver quarters.

Are you really that stupid?

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!


A) Your bank account is $1000. You do work and get paid in $500 worth of Bitcoin.

At the end you have $1000 in the bank and $500 worth of Bitcoin.

B) Your bank account is $1000. You do work and get paid $1000 and use it to buy $500 worth of Bitcoin.

At the end you have $1000 in the bank and $500 worth of Bitcoin.


It is no wonder why you really struggle in life, Senile @Joe.

So are you saying that your Stock portfolio is $10,000,000 or more Lex @The Prowler?

Because if you made $200,000 in one day based on a 2% return that means 10,000,000 x .02 = $200,000.

Anyways, post some pics of your financial statements or you're lying Lex @The Prowler.

More like just under $12 million.

Shit Senile @Joe, you act like that is a lot of money.

My Net Worth is around $20 million.

That is 1/50th of what it takes to be a billionaire.

In 2025 $20 million is a modest amount of money.

Can you post your financial statements listing your net worth with your name, date & time stamped & the institutions, brokerage accounts, list of properties, Lex @The Prowler ?

Then we can calculate your OE.

Remember ,

Owners Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Otherwise, Post Official Statments or else it isn't true.

Everyone is a celebrity or millionaire on the Internet

So Put up or shut up Prowler.

My "OE"?

Owner's Equity....?


Remember ,

Owners Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Oh, that is what you were talking about.

That is a term used by businesses, Senile @Joe, not by individuals. At least in this area. Maybe it is different in Vancouver.

Most people are millionaires, Senile @Joe .

This is 2025. You gotta realize this is not the mid-1900's anymore. Being a millionaire is the norm.

There is a limit to the PI I will post, Senile @Joe .

I am not sure why you are so concerned about my investments.....
Then you're lying, eh Lex @The Prowler.

Here...a nugget of wisdom from Unca Jed fer you, Lex:



Man asks him, "How do you know I'm honest?"

Jed replies, "Well if you wasn't, you'd be tellin' me how much you got instead a' how much you aint got."

Gold is at or very close to $3400 US per oz. @Seamajor

Gold up $26 so far today

A lot of that is due to the fall of the US Dollar & the Trump tariffs.

Lotta fear right now & nations affected are rushing to havens of safety.

This rise in metals verifies the confidence economically people do not have in Fatso. I’m riding this like no tomorrow. If you the means, the future is golden. For many, the end

Gold is likely to rise further going into September @Seamajor..

There's a meeting next month with the US Fed where they are expected to lower interest rates.

and that might send the price upwards possibly to $3700-4000 per ounce by the end of 2025 .

In the big picture, Americans do over-consume.

Even with the positive changes the Trump government is making to the economy, Americans should start to live more conservatively. Because the trend of living in excess is not sustainable and not healthy for the environment.

Positive changes? Are you crazy? The economy is in the shitter amigo. Anyway, sounds like you need a second job.
