Ask HN: I make $30k/month thanks to Bitcoin. What should I do?

Like someone said, you can find people to buy BTC with Dwolla in the #bitcoin-otc channel on freenode. The order book doesn't show much now but you might still find people there willing to buy if you want more cash sooner and more safely than paypal.

Do you have an idea you are set on? I am kicking myself today because I sold most of my few hundred bitcoins right before the market went nuts. I would love to have a technical cofounder and/or a small amount of seed money if you would consider me.

Maybe this will help: http://k9ventures.com/blog/2009/09/24/my-story-and-support-f...

And, always good to contact an immigration lawyer to know exactly what you are legally allowed to do (I guess you can afford one now).

There was another thing I was reading about a while ago (but no sure what the case is with that), which states that you can get a special visa if you open up your own company (as an immigrant) which hires more than 5 people.

I think to really discuss this you should send me enough coins to get a return flight to hang out with you for a while, I'm an awesome guy and totally fun to hang out with. The first step is to party hard for a few days then we can settle down and talk about all the concepts I have in mind, of which there are many. I'm sure that within 5 days we can have some completely bullet proof ideas nailed down! :) 1Nv3ovJQJ3xnNkJUiLBdVW1LmLszoxYJe5

I understand your problem and there are indeed multiple options for you. You should definitly not see this as a problem but as an opportunity! However, if you decide to keep living like now, and you do not wish to use that money for the moment, I suggest you put it in an investment (such as bonds) were you cannot easily withdraw the money. This is because otherwise you would be quickly tempted to use the money for your daily problems you would normally solve otherwise. So if you want to continue living like you did before, make sure the money is frozen or something but still invested so it doesn't use it's value over time (inflation). To make your decision, you should look into the options. First, do a lot, I mean really a lot of research on founding a startup. How much work is it? What will your life look like when you have a startup? Which things will you miss that you have now? Write down some pro's and con's.

My perspective is that you do want to continue living like you live now. If you are happy with your job, stay there for now, because it is not easy to find a good job. Also you can get a lot of xp and grow. You can have oppurtunities like you say and you will make a carrier. Something to be proud of. When you outgrow that job, you can think of your own business.

Of course I want to suggest to you to help me carry the burden and give me some of that large amount. It would be a nice reward for this advice, but I do not want anything in return for this, I give it to you unconditionally. However I do find myself in need of €2,500 to pursue my own dream. I do have a dream, and it is now that I have the chance to make it real. That is because now I do have time and I'm young, if I wait to long, I will end up in this society witouth any prospects and live a normal live. So if you are open to investing in someone's dream, please feel free to do so. I know this is what I want deep in side and will make me happy. Donation can be done on this adress: 1Q5JMqpGcGo7cz7eqrhuivyLsSCzTY9CQ5 I thank you in advance and I hope you can use my advice. If you need anything else ask me here.

The great part about bit coins is there is no FTC oversight, making pump-and-dump schemes very easy.
