How did Chico Moedas get rich?
Single for three years since the end of an almost decadelong relationship Chico Moedas supports the nickname for no reason. After dropping out of administration and cinema courses without completing either degree, the young man invested his father’s money in Bitcoins with his father’s approval. And he discovered a profitable universe in his own way.
“I’m not doing anything. I’m an academic disaster. I tried to go to a few colleges, but it didn’t work out,” he said on the Match O chat podcast. “There was some convincing (for my father to let me invest his money in cryptocurrencies). I invested all the money. My father was more radical than me. My father didn’t like investing. And then I started a persuasion process. “Get the money out of there (from the bank) and invest it,” he explained. “I don’t really like working. Work is unpleasant for me,” he said with a laugh.
Although the investment was successful, the young man does not recommend entering the industry to almost anyone. He says he has already experienced several setbacks. “It’s better to avoid it. The last people I taught (how to invest) all lost money,” he said.
