Every time someone announces one of these YOLO moves, people have to come out of the woodwork and be FRWs (Financial Responsibility Warriors).
FFS, what nannies everyone has become. If it's not the world's Governments, Bankers, or Financial Gurus telling you what to do with your money (or how to spend it), it's your fkn fellow man. And typically it's unsolicited financial advice from the guy next to you that doesn't have a pot to piss in.
Just stop. Let people do what they want.
God forbid this family actually scores big time. Like poor miserable crabs in a bucket, everyone else wants to pull the escaping crab back in.
What a great idea, let's brainwash our fellow man and eliminate all big risk taking in our modern society, that way no one ever will.
Except, ya'know, the wealthy elite oligarchs of this world that control everything. They don't give a shit what other people think. They take big financial risks every single day, and reap the rewards and get richer, while Average Joe gets poorer and poorer because he doesn't take any risks. Ever.
And what about that guy that sold his house for bitcoin in 2013 and went all in? Who is laughing now?
it is different risk taking levels!
some people take bigger risks, they sometimes get the reward for their "leap of faith" and sometimes they ruin their whole life because of that big risk they took and will be forced to start from scratch.
which one of these you choose depends mostly on your personality in my opinion. i for example will never do what they did. what if bitcoin dropped? they are living in the streets and watch their investment go down! it is not unheard of for bitcoin to lose something big like 40% of its value and stays down there for at least 2 months.
who will be laughing then?
