How about a crypto currency startup?
1 comments

whatever you do, don't do this.

It's a mildly sarcastic answer, but the truth is digital currency statups are kind of in a fucked state if you're anywhere near the US. If you get a token, you can liquidiate. if you go with a startup, at least you can invest in the people.

But as the former CEO of a digital currency startup that was the second largest brokerage in the US for a few years, you don't want any part of that. To many variables are out of your control, leading to too many opportunities for absolutely devastating black swan events.

Sorry. Yes, this was a very sarcastic comment. Much like many of the others with people saying why not burn your money or buy lottery tickets.
