a food truck is risky but crypto isnt lol (just funny).

Do the food truck, right now they are is unusually HIGH demand due to covid rules. The ones near me are making a KILLING. Just follow the trends and sell it when the market is good. Just like crypto.

Id like to get into crypto a bit honestly. I play with stocks here and there and do "okay" but I dont have the free time to consistently watch a stock to day trade. Nor the money in my trade account to do it. I was getting penalized constantly for "day trading" when I wasnt allowed.

Hard labor doesnt always mean sight after. Its usually paid lower because anyone off the street can come in and do it. Its easily replaceable. Also why do you think the government loves these caravans coming in so much, different topic and debate Im sure. Once we run out of americans who will do the hard labor they have a constant influx of illegals coming in to do it keeping the wages down. Keep the supply up and the demand for higher wages goes down. If people who really wanted to fight for 15$ an hour wanted to make it count they would also be much more anti illegal immigration.

That does seem funny, but I know I can make money in crypto. Right now it's not even hard, just about everything has been sky rocketing because of the GME incident and Tesla. On the other hand there is a saying: if you want to make a small fortune in the restaurant industry, start with a large fortune.

If I do get one, I'll probably change my tune about $15/hr minimum wage lol.

That's awesome, it's a little hit or miss here because it's a saturated market. Location is incredibly important. The ones near bars and in gas station parking lots do pretty good.

It's easy these days, a number of platforms now handle all the details for you. You don't have to day trade, that's short term capital gains anyways. I got into it a few years back when I had to buy kratom with bitcoin. I had some change leftover and I forgot about the account. Next time I look at it my .28 was $200. From change. I did a few more investments, nothing big, but as soon as Gamestop happened, I knew people were going to turn there
