  1. Take notes. Most scammers would charge thousands of dollars in course fees for this info and Graham is giving it out for free.

  2. People need to stop following the Kardashians and start following Graham. The Kardashians are trying to take your money, while Graham is trying to teach you financial freedom. Keep in mind, the real wealthy people dress like Mark Zuckerberg, drive cars like Jeff Bezos, and live in houses like Warren Buffett. The Lambos and mansions you see in music videos are all rentals.

  3. It's not about destroying the dollar or becoming the next reserve currency. It's about forming a multipolar world order and giving nations options.

  4. "I'm not an alcoholic, I swear." First thing an alcoholic would say.

  5. Robert is the master of talking a lot, but saying very little. He made his fortune off selling seminars and courses.

  6. Pay your credit card balance off in full at the end of every period then it's pretty much the same as using cash, except you can score some rewards points too.

  8. Dave Ramsey's tip for getting wealthy: Sue all Youtubers that mention his name.

  9. He didn’t make his fortune off investing or his business acumen. He made his money off seminars and books.

  10. Once it is possible to value, all the money has been made.

  11. Because nobody wants to be old and broke. The idea is to build up enough assets and live off the cash flow and dividends; not the principal amount.

  12. Mark Cuban is a supporter of crypto now. Also, people thought Google, Apple, Facebook etc were going to be big...oh wait...

  13. Most millennial bashers don’t even know what a millennial is; some turn out to be millennials themselves.

  14. People need to realize he made his wealth already, and the move is strictly for wealth preservation and tax avoidance. The Rightwing talking points of homelessness and crime are BS, since he makes enough money to live in better areas. Tbh, I’m disappointed he had to fall into this leaving-Cali trend as a smokescreen to save on taxes. Just be honest, bro.

  15. Genesis Mining is a scam that can be masked by a crazy bullrun, like with Bitconnect, but when the tide goes away, they aren't wearing trunks. Most cryptos have yet to prove their use case, and 99% are scams, but Bitcoin is the one true coin. Most other tokens and coins serve as pump and dumps. You can make a quick fortune, but also lose it just as quick.

  16. Step 1: Buy Bitcoin.

  17. Calling it now, Jeremy making a video about Bitcoin for the views after 2 years of silence.

  18. Dan Lok is a marketer; not really a finance guy.

  19. If California is so bad, then why do people want to live there so much? This "exodus" is because of overcrowding (of the legal variety) because everyone wants to be there. Los Angeles ALONE has a higher population than 44 States. Then the exiles implant California ideals because it's what people go to California for in the first place.

  20. Also because the bots and algos are designed to eat the lunch of the 80%.

  21. You know it's legit when he doesn't promise any get-rich-quick scheme.

  22. If it goes to zero, then I will own all the Bitcoins.

  23. Easier said than done. There's too much NIMBYism.

  24. And the Fed does what? Who has ever audited Fort Knox? BTC was at $1 at once, lol.

  25. You can use robo-advisers like Betterment or Wealthfront for the lowest fees, since you do not have to cover human overhead. You can use Robinhood for commission-free trades for stocks.

  26. You know, there are other places in California besides Downtown Los Angeles...?

  27. Can your house buy bread?

  28. But you're assuming you know your death date. If you plan to live a long life, then you need to stash away a lot of money, since you can only count on yourself. You don't take your wallet to the grave, but it's a hard life being old and poor.

  29. Tether bomb is nothing new. Though, I understand the rush to talk about BTC now that it’s pumping for the clicks. Graham bought at $20K haha.

  30. Yes. Your first mistake was taking a car loan. Either pay for it in cash, or get it for 0% interest. Otherwise, you chose a car you couldn't afford.
    2
  31. As you've stated, this option is viable if you are young and don't have any dependents. Personally, I'd set some cash aside for emergencies as well as some liquid funds that can be deployed when a really good deal comes along.

  32. +topopops curious how you did that. What was the Myspace stock symbol again?

  33. topopops how did you invest in MySpace in the first place? I don’t recall it ever going public?

  34. What did Bitcoin ever do to you?

  35. Any emerging asset is highly speculative. Crypto is the only asset that can soar 1000% and then crash 80%. Fortunes can be made and shirts can be lost. It’s all up to the individual. The cardinal rule is: never invest what you’re not willing to lose.
    2
  36. They've been saying that for how many years now?
    2
  37. No

  38. +John Doe, Prop 13 has been around since 1978. It is a reason income tax had to increase, as the government has to close to the gap somewhere. Just like in places with no income taxes, their property taxes are usually higher. The government gets their pound of flesh one way or another.

  39. Ruthless Bone roboadvisers are a decent place to park your money if you don’t know anything about investing. But if you want to have higher returns, you have to do your own research, otherwise, you will always be paying a premium for others to think for you.

  43. Most of the desirable places to live have higher taxes. That's why they can afford to have high taxes.

  44. Best way to make $10K a month by shilling a course on how to make $10K a month.

  45. When that day comes, then there will be no money left to gain in crypto.

  47. Filip Bachta the infrastructures are being created. Crypto has only been around for what, around 10 years? Paper money and credit cards took much longer for adoption.

  48. The Great speculation is just a riskier form of investing. No different than buying gold, real estate, or oil.

  49. St_710 by all means, say something smart.

  50. People think the Bitcoin millionaires had it easy. What they don't realize is, those guys had to HODL through dozens of 50%+ crashes. The reason there aren't that many BTC millionaires is because, when it crashed from $32 to $2, most panic sold at $2. It takes a special kind of dedication to sit through those losses in crypto. If you can't stomach a 80% drop, then you don't deserve a 1000% rise.

  51. Let's see how many more rounds it has left in the tank.

  52. Get the Robinhood app for no-commission trades.

  53. Those are folks that won't be saddled with student debt. Though, at this rate, maybe that's only enough for 1 kid?

  54. But the Baby Boomers say that avocado toast will make you poor forever!

  55. Bitcoin utilizes energy arbitrage. Miners use a lot of renewable energy and harvest surplus energy that would have gone to waste. The wasteful energy argument is misleading.

  56. California is the hot nightclub. Texas and Arizona are the clubs you go to when the hot nightclub is too packed.

  57. Better to dollar cost average your way in, but set a stockpile for deploying when a good deal comes around. How big of a stockpile is up to you, since if the crash doesn't come for years later, or it's not as deep as you thought, you will be missing out on opportunity cost too.

  58. It’s not going that low. If it does, someone can own all the Bitcoin.
    1
  59. @Othniel Jones, it's like any commodity or asset; people decide what it is worth. If an oz of gold dropped to $250, would you buy it? Probably, but more people would buy it much earlier and front run you. Likewise, if it gets to a point where nobody wants to sell their Bitcoin, then the price stabilizes and momentum turns green and the bull market cycle happens. Rinse and repeat.

  63. Apartments are expensive as hell, but the best investment, if you can afford it. Since they are so expensive, they are risky to flip, not to mention you have to wait for your tenants to move out. Condo units are tied to the condo complex, so the hard work fixing up your unit is dependent on the overall complex, and probably won't net you much.

  64. I'll bet you Graham is selling Nicholas Cage pillows on Amazon FBA.

  66. Some of the biggest millennial badgers don’t even know what a millennial is. Most turn out to be millennials themselves. Smh

  67. Alex Rust like I said, there are other areas besides DTLA. He doesn’t live in a high crime area with his money. And if he is, Vegas doesn’t offer much better. It’s a smokescreen for tax avoidance.

  68. +Jesus Rios, you can cash Bitcoin into fiat on the exchanges. But you will take a tax hit.
    1
  69. Jesus Rios the exchanges have a daily withdrawal limit. That should be a good thing, as it prevents anyone from cleaning out your account in a single stroke. Also, any investment adds to your net worth. For example, Graham here may be worth millions, but most of it is tied to property, which is FAR more illiquid.
    1
  70. +Jesus Rios, you don't get to decide what "net worth" is. Also, I already told you, Bitcoin can be cashed out and places do accept it. y your definition, then property cannot be considered net worth since you can't cash it out easily.
    1
  71. Yup. and the fact that the stock market is rigged against the average investor.

  72. Same as the money gurus that tell you not to waste money on college, but to max out your credit cards for their courses.

  73.  @Anonymous-ld7je his coffee is around 25 cents a cup. Starbucks is about 12 cents a cup. You’re still buying the avocado toast of coffee.

  74. You get those about anything finance related; not specific to Bitcoin.

  75. Those rich/poor habit things are so lame. Mark Zuckerberg wears sweatshirts, therefore wearing sweatshirts will make you successful!

  85. LibertarianTV to each his own. Why follow society just for the sake of it?
    1
  86. Bitcoin is a legit get-rich-quick strategy; I’ve seen people retire off it. The only trick is knowing when to cash in or out. Bitcoin is a commodity; not some company that’s scamming you, though, there are scammers hovering around it. But you can say that about anything.

  87. Nadine Martranchard if she went by the 4% Rule, she could easily draw $360,000 a year without affecting her capital base, and anything not spent would just add to the total and gain more interest. Who said she wasn’t spending any of it?
    1
  88. TribeOfIssachar 888 the age range of “millennial” for the general term, is between 1980-1995. Though, even that range is inconsistent with other publications. It’s all arbitrary anyway, and not a useful metic or label.
    1
  89. TribeOfIssachar 888 go look up the definition of “millennial” as it is used generally. It’s literally what I said.

  90. not endorsing you to invest in crypto...but you should totally do it.

  91. If she went by the 4% Rule, she could easily draw $360,000 a year without affecting her capital base. You don’t think that’s rich?

  92. You know, you don't have to buy a whole coin. You can get a $100 worth of a partial coin. Just get some skin in the game to test the waters.
    1
  93. +SESoutionsEngineering, then you are clearly biased since the only people you know are the ones that left in disgust. Sounds to me you never bothered to even visit California and everything you are parroting about it sounds like something those Rightwing conspiracy blogs peddle.

  94. Important to note that Sylvia Bloom did not have any children, which are one of life's biggest expenses. If you want an easier path to wealth, don't have kids lol

  95. Palytime his books are predicated on a lie. He was living out of his car, but he faked it til he made it by writing Rich Dad Poor Dad. Ever wonder why he never tells you how to get the capital to do what he does? Why he always seems to omit step 2 in his Underpants Gnome schemes?

  96. Thought millennials were spending too much on avocado toast?
