Can you explain how you view every trading or market isn't a "Pyramid Scheme"? I don't disagree, but if you buy Apple stock at price X, you hope that someone else buys it at price x + y.
So in a sense, every investment you do is with the hope that someone else is buying it for a higher price in the future.
Have you taken your time and watched 5 minutes of the linked YouTube video?
HedgeFunds are just starting to get into BTC. The price is still to low for them to allocate even 1% of their capital to it. When the price hits around 500k, then it is starting to get interesting. So, no. It's not.
I don't think there is any "passive" income in YouTube or creating something. Passive income flow is owning for example 20% of a farm which pays you out a share of their income every year.
This being said, don't make it complicated. The last 10 years, putting your savings into FAANG was enough, and the next 10? Well, I am 3 years in BTC and it paid me well (2019: +60%, 2020: +350%, 2021: +80%).
Don't read Twitter, HackerNews or any other social media site regarding finance. Or at least, follow 1-2 people who know what they are saying. Stay otherwise away and make money.
- Server in France (kimsufi). Why? They have a 3-strikes sort-of behavior when it comes to pirating. If a lawyer is contacting them and find a torrent on your server, they send you an email with: "Make sure nobody hacked into your system and change your passwords"
- I installed transmission cli on the server
- domain to use https and a different port to access a web interface to add torrent links
- Add WebDav over HTTPs on the server to access my movies
- I use Infuse Pro on my AppleTV and add the WebDav folder to it
Now I can download movies from my phone on the way home from work, come home and open the Apple TV and stream it directly from my server, without having to download it.
My advice would be to start with web applications and use for example Rust (because it is easier to get started on simple stuff) and build a TCP server (20-30 lines of code).
Then ask yourself what you are seeing and why. OSI model and such. Then try to find out what the kernel has to do to setup a socket and build something in C (just google Linux socket programming).
And after that, try researching how the packets you receive can be blocked by a firewall and why.
And go on and on. I am currently writing a book which touches the topic a bit and it helps to build stuff and see packages.
For example: Use Wireshark and try to find out how you can see the communication of the browser.
Google:
- Linux Networking
- What are sockets
- Socket programming
- Firewall blocks a domain how
- How to bypass firewall for domain
So in a sense, every investment you do is with the hope that someone else is buying it for a higher price in the future.
