I'm trying to buy ETH and I have no idea how to.
Can someone explain the process and which websites to use to convert USD to BTC to ETH? It seems hard to get to the second step.
Also, do you need a wallet before you start trading? Is the wallet where you store your keys for each crypto?
Some help would be useful. Not much online in terms of starting from the very beginning.

Where are you from?
You can use a btc atm (if there's any around you) to buy bitcoin, and then have that sent to your btc wallet. Then have an account at poloniex to send the btc to, and trade that for eth.

Then you can ether deposit cash in an exchange like Kraken, and the IRS will be aware of it. You could otherwise go straight cash-btc with someone form localbitcoins.com, or use a bitcoin ATM.
Should we bring back debtors prisons?

>collections agency calls

>offer them $300 and settle
Right now there's no real recourse for small debts of under $50000 or so.

Best thing to do in modern times if you have no money: Aquire a shitton of debt buying things like cars or a down payment on a house, and then all you have to do is declare bankruptcy. The law will protect you from having your assets like cars, houses, and I think phones taken away because it's classified as a necessity. Sure, you're credit rating will tank, but who cares? It's a meme anyways.

Kind of varies by law. A lot of people buy Florida real estate knowing they wont lose it in event of going bankrupt. It's different here (Canada). Reminds me of a story an old accountant told me

Why doesn't everyone buy rental properties? It seems like easy money if you buy cheap and it is 100% passive if you get a property manager. What are the downsides?
>>1248414
not paying the rent.
>>1248414
Unforseen expenses like repairs.
the downside is having niggers live in your rental-box
So I grew up the poor way and had to get my GED. So now I have a big question.
I want to get into a trade, and have autism to the point that I can't do low level jobs like wal-mart and mcdonalds because that is FAR beyond my social abilities. But trades are fine because I am good at manual labor and I'm honestly smart, just not people smart.
Now my fear is, what if after I get a trade certification, what if I get injured? I can't fall back on the easy low level jobs due to my lack of social comprehension. I would have no where to go if I was...

Programming is easy to learn, easy to get into entry-level positions, easy to get promoted. Not much people stuff required.
how low will Target's stock go? i see alot of people saying stuff like 'the drop in share isn't all due to trannies, all retail stocks are down, correlation =/= causattion etc. i'd imagine this whole debacle could turn off alot of customers.

I'm a free lance web developer in Australia.
Set up a fair few e-commerce sites. most of my clients have made a fair bit of money from them ( I give them monthly reports this is how I know).

If I could move to any city in Australia what city would be the wisest move business wise?
I want to start a new small business but I am considering a move first, IF I were to make a move I want to choose the place that is going to give the most opportunities and growth into the future.

I hear talk of spotting 'gaps in the market'
one market I see a big, glaring gap is date coaching desu
one of my favorite [reasonably attainable / online] business models is website investing
buying underoptimized websites from somewhere like
http://flippa.com or http://empireflippers.com
then optimizing (either for resale or to keep in a portfolio of other sites)

Has anyone on /biz/ ever sold drugs? I personally disapprove of it as a money making method but i would be very interested to see if anyone has done it to some success on /biz/.
Did you just do it to start off so you can get cash to invest?
Have you done it and plan to keep doing it?
what is /biz/'s opinion on the market?
>High risk
>Low reward
>>1251116
>Low reward
What? It's very high reward. All the guys i used to buy drugs off were completely loaded up with cash.
Not to mention, it's also a pretty relaxed lifestyle, not having to wage slave.
>>1251096
I did sell "drugs" (weed) many years ago. Just planted some cannabis plants and sold the dried buds. Easy as fuck. Think i made a couple 1000's doing something i like (gardening).
I sold the weed to some friends for 1/2 of the retail value and then they would sell it to users with profit. Dident wanna go through the hassle of selling grams
WHY DOES NOBODY UNDERSTAND BASIC ECONOMIC CONCEPTS?
I just missed most of the Penguins game tonight because I was stuck in a conversation about economics with somebody who thought it would be a good idea to join in on a conversation. I'm only a college student, and he was a 50 year old veteran (even though he was on the coast guard), so I couldn't really tell him to fuck off. He was just so willfully ignorant about anything regarding economics/finance, yet insisted that he knew more than me. I don't care that he disagreed, but I do care that he was so willfully...

This is probably bait but whatever.
1) Many of the concepts of personal finance hold on a national level, including balancing a budget and maintaining sustainable levels of debt.
2) Assuming you are in the US, the effective tax of a 6 figure professional in New York City sits at close to 50%. That excludes sales tax, capital gains tax, property tax, etc.
3) Of course we shouldn't stop spending, but passing a balanced budget to at least cut the deficit would help. It's our children that will be...

How many of you are relentless when it comes to saving? I'm talking pocket change, 1$ bills, envelope systems...of course banking it as well. How did you become this way?
How much do you save a year just but saving dollar bills and change?
ALSOOO do you pick a coin if you see it laying there on the floor?

Pretty much do everything in cash, so all my change goes into corresponding jars

Ranges from 500-2500 a year just in pocket change

You keep your change in your bank account by using a credit card, retard.
And people wonder why they're poor.
>>1250514
alright that's what I'm talking about! OP here every time I post something similar it generates 0 posts. Its good to see someone understands how to diversify their saving habits. My personal thing is to have a change jar with and envelope for the extra 5,10s,20s etc I can spare a week.
Do you have successfully sold software or software services? If so, what or how did you find your customers, what was the pain, how much did you make?

Good thread idea OP. I am in the process of starting my own software development company and I'm still working on a good marketing plan.
Regarding advice: so far I found my first clients by manually pitching my services to startups on StackOverflow, AngelList, etc. I'd tailor the pitch to each company and offer them my development services. This effectively landed me my last contract where I made 50k~ in a few months which honestly isn't bad for a first attempt.
Now I'm hoping to take things even further by the end of this year as I currently...

50k Sounds great, I think contracting can be quite profitable, once you get into a field of expertise and can start to build a track record.
I'm thinking on similar lines. End of this year I'm planning on creating a small brand for myself by grinding through a lot of generic problems and hopefully hands-on-enough solutions. Step two is to acquire customers with more specific problems, which I bet will find me through my outlets (as they are already doing now).
Anyway, good luck my friend.
