The stock market, gold, Bitcoin, and most real estate are all at all-time highs.

I was gonna invest 1M in bitcoins when the price was $220/piece a few years back.

So the average rate of return on the Vanguard Admiral Mutual Fund is 10%, the average rate of return on bitcoin is 40%.

That be in front of a bitcoin bull run and applying some serious leverage type of luck.  

And they did it for years before my family bought that ranch.Many my age born in the 50s we did work in Ag in the 60s  I lived in Cupertino CA and I cut Cotts in the summer.. thats splitting apricots in half and laying them on a big wooden board to then dry naturally in the sun out doors.. hard to find REAL dried apricots these days U can still find them in Trader Joes though.. 

Also get me out of more debt/risk.I would put 100-150k into savings for a primary home for my familythen i would put 300k into Bitcoin...just kiddingThe rest of the money I would likely want to "work with".

Maybe not for my generation, or even a youngster like @Jay Hinrichs, but for the bitcoin investing/trading generation, it’s probably something they’ll have no problem going with.  

At the end of the day, there are more day traders that end up broken than not. 

As I said, I'm definitely a risk taker, it's either going to be Bitcoin or real estate, I'd prefer a mix of both though. 

I think you'd really have to work hard by mining bitcoin, leave the windows open in winter with heat on full blast, or something similarly unusual to exceed the cap.
