just don't be like that one kid who received $700,000 from his dead parents.. half was supposed to be for him, other half for his sister. he blew 400k from buying BTC high and selling low. and then decided not to give his sister her fair share.. piece of scum.

Was this story posted here? Can you give me the link?

i don't know. i wasn't around here at the time. it was on reddit during the bull run in late 2013. the /r/bitcoin subreddit is too huge for me to find the post.

Oh god.. stories like this make me feel nauseated. First of all, the assets were worth something around $1,500,000 and he sold them all for half that amount, as he was too impatient to get liquid cash on his hands. I read all his posts... in the end he was saying that he is going to keep all that remaining $280,000 to himself and he was even thinking about taking a mortgage on his house.

Pay off your debts first.

Use 10 - 20% on BTC and cryptocurrencies (including coins like PHS which pay you interest every few days).

You could put the rest into more traditional investments, or use some of this remaining amount to start a business (preferably online and low maintenance) if you are that way inclined.

I don't know enough about the UK property market to know if buying property is a good idea.

Good luck and just relax - don't rush into anything, especially if it involves a size able amount of your windfall Wink

Will Bitcoin Rise Again to $60,000?

Make sure to get rid of all debts first, that should help out a lot.

He never should have had control over more than 50%.
Sad to say, that estate certainly was not set up properly.

i think he said his parents didn't trust her with the money since she was 19ish and he was in his mid 20's. that was their mistake. dumb parents.

if that were me, i'd take out 10k to blow on hookers and blow.. and then the rest, i don't know Cheesy

I look forward to the day when I get to manage even 20% of $700,000.
You have to be such a horrible trader to lose ~$400,000

Interesting story though, I missed that one before.

Put 80-90% of the amount in safe investments, such as stocks, US treasury bonds and bullion (gold, platinum or silver). You can use the remaining 10-20% for various HYIPs, such as the Bitcoin.

Pay off loan as soon as possible and invest that money in land/property. I wouldn't invest in business unless you have some good ideas or experience which doesn't seem to be the case. Property in a good area will be the safest investment for the future.

Sad for your lose and congratulation for the inheritance, here are my suggestion for you :
1- buy/pay back the student loan you have to remove the interest rates and to have a possibility for another loan if needed in the future especially from a business perspective.

2- I believe you should place half of the money at least as long term saving plan that you don't won't touch unless real shit happens

3- The rest should be invested in different business (the amount of money you are willing and afford to lose ) of course you should invest this in different business with different degree of risk related to them, some business are way safer than other, so make your own proportions for this

4- Don't waste your money on luxury and stuff, wait in tel the business you've invested in starts returning money , if your money isn't making money you'll end it in no time

Most billionaires needed to borrow some $10k's to start their business, or wharever made them rich, and now you have much more without paying interests. So think twice before hear the conservative-mongers.

Day-trade alt coins (and BTC), and you will be set for life. Cheesy

Seriously, that is a real plan only if you learn how to be good at trading.

Congrats on your good fortune.

Stop using branwallets

Quickest way to lose it is to invest in a business. Pay off your loans, put 80 % in a low fee stock index fund, 10% in bonds, 9% cash, 1% btc
