Are you familiar with Chris Sacca? You might’ve seen him on Shark Tank and a couple of other financial shows. Well, Chris is likely the best tech investor of all time. Chris’ best-performing VC fund has generated an astonishing 250X return. And when you consider that his investments included the likes of Uber, Twitter, Docker, Kickstarter, Instagram, Medium, Streak, Stripe, and Twilio, it’s really not surprising why Chris is a billionaire. But, while Chris’ investment record has been stellar, his risk tolerance is even crazier. Even before Chris got involved in VC or even got a job for that matter, he was able to make over $10 million using just $10,000 worth of student loan money during the dot-com bubble. Unfortunately, this eventually turned against him and he ended up owing his brokerage $4 million. Chris didn’t file for bankruptcy though. He crawled himself out of that massive hole and became one of the most legendary investors of all time. This video tells the story of Chris Sacca and his insane investing journey and risk tolerance.

    If you keep taking risk as per your risk capacity over and over again, you will eventually succeed. In this field of entrepreneurship, connections are way more important than money. As long as you can afford to have your survival needs met, have the hunger to learn and save up some cash, one can hit the millionaire mark in the span of around 10 years. Assuming you look at your failures and learn from it unlike buying a lottery ticket. Learning from failures and making connections offers you domain expertise. As this grows, the "Risks" get less risky as they become safer bets with domain expertise.

    Still, certain patterns have a higher probability of success, while others have a higher probability of failure. Meaning luck can be carefully created/ navigated ... By stacking up favorable habits and situations and rigging the game in such a matter that when opportunities materialize, they are easily converted to success.

    It's not that bad of an idea,the rates on student loans are like 6%-7%, which is high but manageable, and even if you fail to pay it, not much is going to happen if the amount is 10k to 20k, your credit score will be trash but who cares? You can't afford a car or a home anyway Use that money to bet on Nvidia, if you are successful, probably you will have 200k USD, if you fail, trash credit score but nothing else It seems risky but it really isn't

    @@philoslother4602 I would say AMD, not Nvidia as Nvidia is already really high. I highly doubt they will hit $2T. EDIT: Nividia is at $1.9 it's bad to play to think they will go up past $2T as Apple is only $2.6T and Microsoft is $3T. Maybe in like 10 years, they could go up 10x, but that's not a smart move to do that while getting your bachelor's.

    This story has so many holes that I’m contemplating not watching further. Chris has a 4mm loan that he “negotiated” to $2mm since he didn’t want to declare bankruptcy…okay…how?? His parents?? Chris started a company that sounds shoddy (shoddy, not shady) and he would fake it till he made it…hired his law buddies who were out of a job, then umm got a contract from google on a top secret project….yall…does this make sense? Everywhere he went he became friends with the founders. From starting that shoddy company, he got w lucrative offer from google that cleared included so much equity that when google when public, he was set for life. I’m pretty sure Chris himself has told this story. People always leave out the details eg how much assistance they were given by being privileged. I’m privileged too actually. I just don’t hide it.

    The real key to success is not in developing a comparative advantage the first time, but in being able to fail and try again until you get that one lucky break to pay off all the past attempts. A big reason why most visible success stories are pale, male, who know guys from Yale is because they enjoy multiple generations’ worth of wealth and prestige to prop up each other when biasing their graciousness towards like-minded “potential” while ignoring past performance.

    I haven't watched Shark Tank before other than in clips on KZread, but I'm thinking I'd rather see a spinoff where the investors are people who got rich quick in crypto or winning the lottery instead of successful entrepreneurs. It'd be interesting to see if they could make good picks or if they would lose money or basically get outright scammed by contestants.

Not 100% sure on the context though. I wouldn't idolise this man by any means though, I am curious how many bankrupt ex-friends he has in his wake. Sounds like an irresponsible 'lucky' guy to me, a la Trump, constantly bailed out because people couldn't afford to let him lose, so failed till he got lucky.
