well im getting ready to go for it next year. im excited about it all. im looking to start in cali and then move to alaska the following year for the big bucks.

once im in alaska land im looking to bring in 1 million dollars my first year. all this in only 5 months.

my total investment will be about 300,000 for all my equipment and start up cost. then the following year it will be all profit besides my running cost for diesel and food.

anyone here ever wanted to be brave enough and take complete control of your life without working for the man?

Bit coins = the new gold. Throw 300k into a computer system and mine bit coins.

Once all is said and done, you'd probably come out better just buying $300,000 worth of gold. At least you'd have something to show for your investment.

You don't think you can find a better business to start if you have $300k in start up money?

I'm feeling generous, give me your 300k, I'll give you 10k for food for a year and u sleep in a tent in my yard .

In 12 months I'll return 200k cash back to you, you'll thank me.

no nothing that i want to do. i want to work for myself and answer to no one. what else can promise me making 1million plus in 5 months? everything else has a cap on what you can make and gold mining doesn't.

Have you actually looked into this? Land rights? Equipment? Labor? The fact that you have to know wtf you are actually doing and know where the gold is.

yes everything. i will drill any land i seem fit so i know if gold is there and exactly where it is to a science. it will lay a grid and i work that grid with gps on my dozers so i dont waste money.

i have about 3-4 people already that are willing to go with me.

i have a friend thats from alaska and he knows tons of people that are already doing it. plus land is available everywhere and now that gold has dropped in price less people are interested so that means land is cheaper.

i have been planing this for the last 3 years. i have done over 150hrs of research on all different levels

I wish you good luck.

I won't lie, it's definitely a piped team I'd love to chase, but it just isn't reality at this point for me.
