A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics.

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Scalping crypto (daytrade tactic), turned 300$ into 2000$ in 24h! Was on employment insurance at the time so it went into essential stuff.

Just keep in mind that financial markets are a zero-sum game. For every gain one person makes, other people lose that much.

Eh... Don't know why that's relevant here, but keep in mind that any financial gain is a zero sum game?

Well just that OP asked for a get rich quick idea, and you essentially said "I went to a casino and made a profit" even though the odds are usually that you will lose money at a casino

Having worked in a casino myself let me guarantee you, it's far from the same thing.
