Topic: How did you get rich? [outside of crypto] (Read 261 times)

You are not answering my questions but at least you have a very good take.
Your answer has to do with what being wealthy can mean, my question was really how you made your money from a pragmatic point of view. (if you made such a sum that would deem you to be rich - whatever that means for you)

It looks like some people trying to answer my question are believing I want to be a character from some rap video or that I am someone who cannot find happiness in life because of chasing money and are giving me useless answers.

I'm new to writing in a forum so maybe forum posts should be more philosophical than pragmatic.

I was given great wealth at birth.

Think about a situation where somebody loses an arm in a car accident. The arm was totally demolished so that the doctors couldn't even find the pieces to re-attach it. Where could anybody ever find a new one that would come close to the one that was lost?

If the person was a multi-billionaire... these days they have some really good prosthetic arms. They can even attach nerves that make the arm work, and simulate the senses of touch, feeling heat, or feeling cold. Last I heard, an arm like this might cost $billions, and it wouldn't be nearly as good as the original... at least in most ways.

I got my original arms free at birth, right along with the rest of the body, which is so much wealth that it could never be rebuilt by scientists at any price.

Your answer to my question was in your signature but I didn't pay attention.
so to shorten your "how did you get rich" journey: You chose to scam people by leveraging the name of some billionaire dude that has nothing to do with you and such is the way you might have become rich.
In any case, your way does not fit with my views so I will disregard it.

The first thing is that you are really stubborn or don't want to be open in your thinking to receive all the truths of life, and you are also the type of person that I encounter a lot in life who avoids the truth and is confused by things but consider it a life goal.

Having money and being stuck , please understand more about being immersed in it if you really haven't satisfied your life needs then that's your problem. No matter where you live, the things around you correspond to your perception, like if you live in a steppe area, valuable assets can be a horse, in a place where life is luxurious like Dubai, cars and yachts give you a feeling of happiness, but you haven't actually touched them and thought they were great.

Life balance factor, don't talk about being satisfied when you have $1 million, so first have it first, don't think too much and continue to feel it later. The truth is that if you have gone through those things, you will understand what I share.

Don't worry about who I am or what my life is like, just feel the things I share. I can tell you that I was once a beggar, a thief, a homeless person, an excellent student, an excellent employee, a business manager, a millionaire before the age of 30,... any? I also have quite a few university degrees and have stopped using them for the job I aim for, the truth is that after many things I know about life, it is quite simple from material things to fame, and the last thing that I feel the only meaning is realizing balance in life.

And lastly, I just think you should continue to experience life now, and go back and look at the things I have shared with you. The way you're navigating the language to me actually feels quite simple and light, everything you're trying to pin down is what's best for me, but I won't tell you, that it all matters in the same and there is no best there.  And continuing on to the last point, I'm not talking about theortical nor philosophical and you've labeled it yourself. Anyway, I hope your journey goes smoothly, no need for criticism to justify what happened, everything here is enough

So in your opinion if you get to have money you will be stuck in a limitless greed where material things color your reputation?
How much money will cause this to happen?
I don't know in what country you live but where I am if you have no money you end up sleeping on streets.

"Knowledge, skills , application, creativity..." - is the answer I am looking for but what exactly worked for you?
I wasn't fishing for a purely theortical nor philosophical answer but something that worked for whoever wanted to answer.

So you need to satisfy your material needs first, and then you will also realize that material things color your reputation, but then you will also be stuck in it because of limitless greed that has no end. . The answer is how much money is enough? How famous is it?

Everyone's life goals follow the same pattern, it's just that the way they do it seems to always be to seek satisfaction. To simplify the problem, if you want a lot of money to spend on all your personal goals, you need to create it and the simplest way is through work, and as I said before you need "Knowledge, skills , application, creativity..." completed.

What gave the impression that I want shiny crap to enhance my selfworth?
For me rich means to have your time divorced from your income so that you can truly enjoy life: no financial stress (no living paycheck to paycheck), afford to have many kids, spent time with your friends and family.

How i wish a can answer this being a rich person  but I'm working on it now looking for
more ways to earn money , now that me and my wife is working together then in the near future once
bitcoin reaches 100k I will be having my capital to have business and make a richer living than what I
am today.
that's a good plan but is there really no other way to engage in your country than leaving?
because imagine how much effort and sadness you will face living solely.

Knowledge, skills, application, creativity... answer for you.

Reposition yourself to see how your abilities in life reflect the things you want in life. I have a different opinion on "rich" than the OP, it's simply the life balance I have, like I don't want to be complicated with shiny jewelry because I feel like having/not having them is okay enhance selfworth.

In the past, I also really believed that in life you must have a lot of money to be happy. I also went through periods of luxury and failure in life. In the end, "rich" money is just a choice to select.

not yet rich  but in my country probably one of the easiest routes to take in order to ensure some success is going to college this is a good sure way  to land  on a job but tbh most people who graduated university goes out of the country

it’s also the only way i can think of and i am planning on getting out of the country as well so to work outside… it’s the best for the future

Finding God

to tell you honestly , most of my wealth now comes from crypto because i am just an average employee back then and earning a Minimum wage (my country's rate) and having children I we are really having sometimes short in budgeting because My wife is not working to take care of our children.

so meaning those I have earned in signature campaigns and small trading not counting those Airdrops have been used to Open a business and now we are making it better and better.

with that I can say that it is partly from crypto and of course Me and My wife ability to grow .

what do you mean by that? never that you have a Job in life?

Never had any real job outside of crypto.Only thing I am currently learning is trading to see whether It can be an additional source of income to me .

I have my own stocks from supplier directly but since I have small capital there is limited supply that I can handle to store.

hard to start? of course you need to develop trust first but thanks for the help of Internet its easier now to have prospective buyers

And about the repairshop , it is more on Hardware and I have a technician that handles all the repairs and yeah he is good that we also have a Mobile repair shop with electronic but that is handled by different repairman.

Well I may say your word rich is not properly defined, rich can  a state of mind what is you see as rich at that level can be starting point to another. But for me I can state I am rich base on my expectations is not melt but I am a professional quantity surveyor who eat from such profession, and it has nothing to do with mining and all that you ascribe. But been teach required all round sourcing of income one can't isolate any in as much is a genuine one.

Still not rich in terms of being millionaire so I cannot answer the first question but to deliver how I am making money outside crypto?I am renting my Van so i have passive income , and also doing sideline when I have spare time as delivery rider , I am a working person and I will do anything just to earn in every time I have in life.

I see many have gotten rich in real estate or trading, which is dissapointing since for the first one you need money and at the second one I am not good. (i tried some years ago and lost money)


Do you happen to own the stock of your store or just do dropshipping? Was it hard to start out?
What about computer repair shop? Are you doing electronic repairs too or just debug/change hardware/reinstall software?

those that I come to know in which not in crypto investments are those who are in either stocks trading if not real estate broker, some are also into car trading that gives them big return of money.

But asking me? I only have My Small Online shop that Sells Mobile phones and accessories and also I have a computer repair shop .

There are thousands of ways to make money outside cryptocurrency but to find a better one that will make you rich is very difficult. Sometimes richness is not from the job you do. Richness is a mindset. when you do a job other people do but do it in another dimension with focus and Passion you will be rich. Your mindset control what ever thing you do. The mindset of the rich is to invest rather than saving in bank account. There is book I read which says that you the advantage a the rich have over the poor is that the poor save money In bank account while the rich dont save rather invest there money, for there money to work for them.

Not my story but most of the rich have one thing in  common and that is they are investors in the real estate.

It is because the most known and proven investment since the age of time. Look at how Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and other known rich people.

All of them are into real estate and that is what the rich do.

My advice to you as a 30 year old guy, it is never too late to try something new if you haven't do.

For an entrepreneur, it is better to start when one's finances are stable (not mixed with daily expenses and food) because the first month can be analyzed for gross and net profits including marketing strategies or product innovation. Don't turn upside down and even borrow money when you are just starting a business venture, it's the same as harming yourself. entrepreneurship is ups and downs in all conditions, of course it requires a mentality that is used to and not limited in time.

For people with this career, the most important thing is competitive skills and competence in the field they are working in, indeed age is an added value in some positions but if people have superior qualifications, of course it is not a problem.

Age 30 is a very good productive period for any job, enjoy life according to your passion because a paid hobby is more fun than you being forced to live in an uncomfortable work environment so that it only accumulates boredom at work.

In this modern era, there are many ways to earn money and assets that anyone wants, with flexible time and according to each person's interests.

I am rich or poor which depends on who I can compare with, but definitely I am not struggling to meet my financial needs that much I can tell you about.

For people who are in between their 20s and 30s, are at their prime time and probably what they choose will decide their fate of their remaining life and it has to be something that they are passionate doing not just for the sake of making money and it can even be started as side hustle while working in 9 to 5 job and over the period of time it can take you to the level that you can make money in a day that used to be your monthly salary.

This question is addressed to those who did not get their wealth trading/investing/mining Bitcoin or altcoins.
How did you get rich?
If you are an entrepreneur, how did you start out?
If you are a career person, what kind of career do you chose?

What advice you have for someone who just hit 30 and wants to make something of himself?
