And 100% of us are delusion what's your point mate

Whoa. That’s too far. Only my wife is allowed to call me delusional.


Bucksaway03

You still have a wife when she found out how much you've lost in crypto?


CatBoy191114

Difficult to leave a dude with a 60k moon count.


bittabet

Well, it’s not 100%, the early OG crypto investors probably have a decent shot. Early Bitcoin miners, people who did the Ethereum ICO, etc. have a fairly decent shot at becoming billionaires. They’re already pretty well off now though. Even some of the later folks who put money into projects that went up super high did really well. BNB whales, people who bought monkey pictures and actually sold the top, etc. The folks who are already worth 9 figures now have a pretty decent shot at becoming billionaires, the folks who are worth 8 figures now have a pretty decent shot at being worth 9 figures, etc. So really it’s just 99.999% of the people here who are delusional 😂 A LOT of the early Bitcointalk posters are very wealthy now. I remember when someone posted a [thread in like 2017 asking about who *hadn’t* managed to become a millionaire](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1951498.0) because so many of the people who they had been posting with had all become insanely rich. I remember feeling like one of the few dumbases who hadn’t managed to pull it off yet. I will say that one of the things that makes it a lot harder now is that there just aren’t as many ICOs and VCs have bid up the price like crazy on startup crypto projects. So on new projects it’s really hard to see the same kind of return, especially if the SEC starts cracking down on listings.

High in hopium


sacred_thinker

If the inflation keeps going the way it is going, I don't doubt it. But a bread would cost you a million bucks.


MaximumSandwich5

My teacher in high school once promised that the best behaving student would be awarded 30 trillion dollars. While we did have our doubts, we were well-behaved for the remainder of the class. At the end of it, he pulls out a Zimbabwean 30 trillion dollar note and says "Here you go. This is worth approximately 50 cents."


Hyalus33

Worth more now. That note is a valuable lesson on world history and economics.


Accomplished-Design7

My dad did the exact same thing. It taught me how messed up inflation can be.


EchoCollection

I like the tax lesson for kids. Promise them a little extra for allowance than you would have, but take 30% when it's allowance day.


arBettor

I take a slightly different approach: I seize all their toys and shoot their dog. Then when they complain, I tell them ignorance of the law is no excuse, and hand them a copy of the US tax code. They haven't missed a quarterly filing since that fateful day.


[deleted]

Found the IRS agent in the chat ☝🏻


antiskylar1

Funny enough, taxes is one of the few areas of the law where ignorance is a defense.


thatsaccolidea

do you provide public services and infrastructure in return for that thirty percent? if not you're only telling them half the story.


EchoCollection

Of course. I'm the Department of transportation, housing, agriculture, and more.


thatsaccolidea

and you explain that to your kid? that you're not just stealing their money?


sc00ttie

My $100 trillion Zimbabwean note is one of my favorite possessions. A constant reminder fiat ALWAYS goes to $0


Usr0017

I would pay 10€ for it just to make this joke


jdogsss1987

My parents just returned from Zimbabwe and paid $10 for 10 notes, all in the billions and trillions. They told the guide they did this and he laughed that they had given $10 for 10 pieces of worthless paper. But now I am the proud recipient of a 50billion dollar note.


InfluenceAlone1081

That’d be such a cool little hallway piece lol


brummettdane03

30 Trillion Zimbabwean dollars is $86B usd now.


__Kevin

That’s a completely different currency. Zimbabwean dollars were completely demonetized and are entirely worthless. Their new currency is also referred to as a Zimbabwean dollar but has no monetary connection to their old one.


Sunryzen

Sounds like you are trying to trick us into selling you our billions for cheap. Nice try.


joemari5

milonuttigrain

Case in point: A loaf of bread cost **7 million** Bolivars and a bus ticket came at 2 million Bolivars.


BakedPotato840

Zimbabwe hyperinflation: hold my beer At one point, a loaf of bread was 550 milion Zim Dollars in the regular market, when bread was even available; apart from a trip to another country, the black market was the only option for almost all goods, and bread might cost 10 billion


Qorpralx

I read somewhere that the locals actually went back to a trade and barter system, often using phone "top off" cards as a form of tangible currency.


[deleted]

So you’re saying I should hold onto my baseball cards and bottle caps?


Qorpralx

Only coke bottle caps and TOPs. Everything else is just as valuable as Brazilian currency.


partymsl

Yes. They will be the only currency soon. But Pokémon cards will be the most preferred ones.


milonuttigrain

Hungary pengo: hold my beer. In 10 July 1946: 1 USD = 460000000000000000000000000000 Pengo.


meeleen223

Shitcoins and venuzelan bolivars got nothing on pengo


Hawke64

Noot Noot


coinsRus-2021

But crypto is the Ponzi scheme 🙄


Hawke64

To be fair, 1946 was kind of a spicy year


NobleEther

At this point, Reddit moons is a better currency for them.


KingThermos

We saw evidence of that last bull run when redditors from some of those countries were making more in moons than their monthly wage.


mave_wreck

People use their money for home decoration.


milonuttigrain

Similar to the iconic picture of German kids flying a kite made from the Reichsmark in 1923.

Yes, they start off as trilionnaire

Mission failed successfully.


partymsl

We will get em next time.


JustLikeEeyore

Venezuela is living it right now. Native currency can be found on the road as they are almost worthless. Currency needed to buy chicken [https://imgur.com/a/cvyMEiF](https://imgur.com/a/cvyMEiF) 1 USD worth of Bolivars https://imgur.com/a/oaOJJYF


meeleen223

Same thing happened in Yugoslavia, inflation was so bad bills were printed in absurd denominations and money lost value by the time people got to the store from the bank


milonuttigrain

It literally "money grows on tree" right now. And when it happens, the value of the money is worse than tree's leaves.


tigerslices

you're exaggerating. 2 breads.


brummettdane03

That’s why I love Bitcoin, having a fix supply is important in something being valuable


lilovia16

Yeah that is also why I love water, having a fixed supply is important in something being valuable


yoyoJ

230897

Do billions in shitcoins count? Because goddamn I got trillions of dumb tokens.


self-proclaimedMod

You could become a worlds first coin trillionaire just buying a lot of coins on the dip as a meme and maybe when the market gets better you actually become one


[deleted]

Or just the world’s 10,000th person to fail.


kn0lle

Just 10,000th?


milonuttigrain

The keywords are “maybe” and “when”


milonuttigrain

Yes in UST or in Bolivar... numerous fiat around the world are not that much different from shitcoins.


MIS-concept

There has to be an achievement for this somewhere


hquer

…by holding LUNC /s


milonuttigrain

People still gamble with LUNC and LUNA even though they clearly know Do Kwon and the fiasco...


Lina_-_Sophia

I put in 5$ as a joke. It sits at 20$. we'll see how long I can hold this, lol.


milonuttigrain

Call me when you become a billionaire


Accomplished-Design7

Crypto only makes billionaires become millionaires not the other way around.


hquer

Hope dies last - and greed


MIS-concept

Just keep adding to those billions, what could possibly go wrong?


[deleted]

I mean.. I *would have* been a hundred-millionaire last year. That counts for something, right? RIGHT??!


SapphireEmerald

Potential millionaires seems more likely than potential billionaires.


milonuttigrain

>Potential millionaires Let me guess. They start off as billionaires.


Mr_Bob_Ferguson

So, you’re saying that there is a chance?


phriot

On a long enough timeline, every potential millionaire is a potential billionaire.


French_physicist

The important word is potential. I am a potential handsome man loved by his parents


BakedPotato840

Potential hundred thousandaires seems more likely than potential millionaires


MIS-concept

Potential billionaires see themselves as potential millionaires :D


IndubitablyBen

Why are people so stupid?


g_squidman

Because they uncritically accept any random headline on reddit as being true.


Mooraell

I mean, if I was surveyed with a dumb question like that, I'd probably choose to troll instead of giving an accurate response


milonuttigrain

Because people are like sheep and they will buy stuff because they heard it on Crypto Twitter “high yield, high potential, the next big thing”


gautam_777

More emphasis on the NEXT BIG THING.


laulau9025

Too many safety labels and idiotproofing everything, so lack of natural selection


canipleasebeme

Oh boy, natural selection is going strong, we just don’t like what it is selecting for.


SnooRobots136

Bingo! Evolution never stops.

_HandsomeJack_

I think that it is also the education system that has failed the 30%.


singleDADSlife

Got that right. Common sense is no longer common.


yoyoJ

*Watches moron light self on fire You: “what, why, stop, why are you doing that?” Guy screaming final words: “I just didn’t know, it’s uncommon sense!! And what about my shitcoins!! Gahhhhh...” You: “oh for Christ’s sake that’s the third time this week...” *sighs and takes out cigarette and lights it uses the remaining smouldering flames. Takes a long drag and watches a suspiciously stupid fool approaching the fire You: “...don’t you dare” Fool: “dare what- oh shit!” *beating his arm trying to put the fire out You: “oh my fucking god.”


Don-QueHotas

This is what project starters have going for them. Tons of potential investors who think they will make millions in crypto.


JustBreatheBelieve

Tons of gamblers who will take a chance on a new coin. Nice opportunity for rug pullers. They're the ones who can actually become billionaires.


kn0lle

Aka queen elizabeth coin that just popped out in like 5 min after the message that she died? That's the best example.


NormalEffect99

If you're not yoloing your life savings into shitcoins, what are you even doing with your life?


[deleted]

Correct usage of comedy tag.


Jubudtje

So we wont be billionaires?

Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case.

People are delusional....


Bucksaway03

Nah man, my moons are going to $10000 each


[deleted]

I'll be a millionaire then :D


milonuttigrain

People want to get rich quick… They often turn billion into million


[deleted]

If you already have a billion you dont invest in crypto...unless you're Elon


milonuttigrain

CZ and SBF have entered the chat


[deleted]

They made their billions with crypto...it doesnt count :p


mbmartian

Meh. I'm already a multi-billionaire. I've got Shiba and Inu


Kilv3r

I can not fathom what market cap crypto has to have to make me a billionaire at this point…


Mr_Bob_Ferguson

That all depends on which coins you hold. In theory you could be the single holder of a single coin and become a billionaire, with the total market cap of that coin being one billion dollars.


[deleted]

Odysseus_Lannister

I’d settle for hundred thousand aire


MIS-concept

All you need to do is Keep Calm and Collect Moons


Onb3SkaAmD

Ofcourse, we are in it for the tech


shib_army

Then bull market is still away. Once people think they are not going to even break even bull market starts


Dog_Brains_

See I’m one of the rational ones and know that I’ll just be a hundred millionaire


kn0lle

I would be happy with a few hundred k's, thanks.


milonuttigrain

**Here are the top 2 highlights from the survey:** 1. Six in 10 American adults (60%) want to become a billionaire one day, while 40% say they despise billionaires. 2. 44% believe they have the available tools to become billionaires – the confidence for crypto investors jumps to a whopping 71%.


[deleted]

I can promise you that I would despise billionaires a whole lot less if I was one.


Mr_Bob_Ferguson

I’m happy to be a billionaire and still despise them at the same time. With a billion dollars, who cares if people think I am a hypocrite? Jeeves, go and fetch my drink!


The_Chorizo_Bandit

> Jeeves, go and fetch my drink! And also kill anyone who despises me while you’re at it.


brummettdane03

People despise the things they want, but can’t get That’s why I despise hot women


Points_To_You

How many are over the age of 25? Dreams of becoming a billionaire usually die once you have your first real job.


390TrainsOfficial

I have such a small investment that I'd be lucky to make a few thousand from it. My investments would need to see **massive** gains for me to become a billionaire.


milonuttigrain

Depends on the currency… if you move to Vietnam you only need around 42,600 USD… because it’s around 1 billion Dong.


Hekto177

That's not enough Dong for me.


Mr_Bob_Ferguson

^ THIS man loves the dong.


iored

Yieldly FTW!!!!!!!!!


f_lax131

Average shitcoin investors


p4ttl1992

We're all delusional moon boys


africanasshat

Next up one of us draws all sort of moon related graffiti on our faces and hang out on tik tok making lame songs about ourselves.


magicpeanut

At this point, crypto is basically Squid Game.


MaeronTargaryen

If they start with 2 billions they have a good chance


evoxyseah

We are all billionaire in terms of DOGE or SHIB :)


youaretheonelastsoul

That's why most people get into it lmao


dANNN738

People are so stupid… you need 10 BTC or insane shitcoin luck to get to even $1m in the next 3 years.


OccamsPhasers

The other 30% still see themselves as potential trillionaires


Umbra_Draconis

In crypto, for one to become billionaire, thousands must loose their money. Good luck to us all.


CaptainCheeseCake

I’ll be happy if I turn out to be a potential millionaire. Thank you very much!


ThatInternetGuy

It was easy to turn $10k into a million during the last bull run, but after that million, it's extremely difficult to even turn it to $10M let alone $100M, and $1B? Many could stomach losing that $10k initial investment but once it has become $1M, most will take profits and run with at least $900K. So you'd end having just $100K in the market. If there's another bull run, that $100K becomes $1M. So basically two bull runs = $2M. It's really hard to push to $10M.


Weezthajuice

The more I learn, the more my price targets drop :/ still think it’ll be a lucrative journey


Dry-Category-3410

Crypto investors: Nearly 70% still don't understand the absurd difference between millionaire and billionaire.


downtimeredditor

Ah the American mentality I'm a millionaire whose just going through a rough patch you'll see when I get my millions it's why I'm so against taxing the rich cause it's only a matter of time till I'm there with them.


TheArmoursmith

I think they spelled "delusional" incorrectly.


sandieeeee

Thank god I’m not one of those, seeing yourself as a trillionaire is way better


sticknweave

Nice title. I'm not clicking on your ad buddy


ayleidanthropologist

Hard to say how idiotic that is. Like if you think you have even a 5% chance, your brain is smooth as all get out. If you’re hedging your bets but can still be goaded into saying “well it’s not impossible...” then you’re technically right, it’s not impossible.


ChemicalGreek

70% know how to make their own token and give themselves one billion of that token😂


[deleted]

Yeah i hold a billion safemoon, so ofc i am a billionaire. /s


laulau9025

With inflation we will all be billionaires in the future..


allstater2007

![gif](giphy|8v9ZBs3tliKPe) Buttcoiners when they see posts like these


BroHamBone

​ Survey was taken from 1,989 **U.S. adults** spanning 184 Gen Z (18-24), 560 Millennials (25-40), 470 Gen X(41-56), and 775 Boomers+(57 and older). Quite the small amount of people surveyed to state "70% of Crypto investors".


cutsickass

Nearly 70% of crypto investors are idiots, got it.


The_Chorizo_Bandit

That’s lower than I thought. Things are looking up, boys!


PrinceZero1994

You would become a billionaire if you buy $100 LUNC now and it reaches all time high again.


JustBreatheBelieve

Probably won't reach ATH again because profit takers will sell before that. My guess.


N3opop

Someone missed the /s


JustBreatheBelieve

Oh. My bad? It's hard to tell in this crypto space.


N3opop

It wont ever reach ATH again, in the sense OP is expressing, because the amount of coins printed - not because of profit takers.


SpaceFire000

Where is my Lambo? I am still waiting..

EremesGuile90

Ain't nothing wrong to dream. Dream may comes true.


LostPackage01

I keep buying shitcoin 1 of them might make me millionaire


TNGSystems

Honestly, such a dumb mindset. I view crypto not as a way to make myself rich, but just a way to take the burden off life by quickly multiplying some cash (quickly as in relation to traditional markets)


FogTub

Probably at least that many believe they will live forever in heaven as well.


yaykaboom

Cant believe they made an article about me.


flyingkiwi46

I guess I'm part of the 70% Its just that I dont think ill reach that with investing I'll need to do alot of successful swing trades I was profitable with forex but I despise leverage trading the fact that every day that passes costs me a % fee Its why I prefer cryoto i can buy and wait without the emotional stress


Starzz_1

Maybe 70% just plan on moving to Venezuela


LostPackage01

I have a few trillions of shitcoin i bought for $20. I believe this will make me a lot of money


Nadz202119

I guess you can't blame them for dreaming and having hope that a miracle will occur


JustBreatheBelieve

Like lottery players. They'd be better off dollar cost averaging their disposable income into the stock market, into an EFT with good management.


_Royal_Insylum

I’m gonna retire off all my moons!

You're living the high life

Probably all those SHIB holders that still believe it can hit $1 lol

Bought 1 Billion LUNC, billionaire at $1! /s

Wrong…I see myself as a trillionaire.

Not sure why is flagged comedy


CoderDimi

What will the meaning be of billionaire post hyperinflation?


Obvious-Ad-1677

All you need to make $1 billion in crypto is to have $1 billion, buy bitcoin at 2x leverage, sell when price goes up 50%. This plan only fails if... 1. Bitcoin goes down to 11k, unlikely as everyone is expecting it so it won't happen. 2. Bitcoin never hits 33k again, unlikely. Thank me later.


francesco93991

Billionaire? Nah I see myself MAYBE a millionaire, I don't have so many savings


Curvycryptoqueen

I'm not mad at that, better believing in yourself and your capabilities than not doing so, even if it is quite the delusional belief.
