as you begin the game, get your setup done then start streaming and grind for better components, then just doom grind the game until you have the equipment to crypto mine
then grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

for the second part and for maximum grinding, put your stream on and then get your bike and do the bolt food job and deliver food, you should upgrade your income too so its even better, sell your old items aswell
*late game start mining crypto*
also pay your bills or in 10 days you will be paying like 10% of your cash reserves every day

As of now streaming is way worse for getting money in early game than working the delivery job so do that
Unless you quickly roll thru the skills and get the donation buffs and mind me it is still slow then you should just do the delivery job, but it gets boring over time so you will need to switch to crypto soon, but the thing is the numbers might look like much but with 1 card and no buffs you make like 1 dollar every 30 seconds

good old indie game mechanics

early game is very slow but it will get better, upgrade your setup as you go on but please be financially stable before buying a setup, if you waste all your money on one then you WILL need to grind it all back, mid-late game is where you start to pop off and become delivery job-free so you dont have to slave yourself for 50 bucks for 700m rides.

unless you invest your entire game money on crypto you wont make a big profit from it
STREAM AND INCREASE YOUR PAYOUT, AS YOU GO ON THE PAYOUTS FROM DODO WILL GET EXTREMELY HIGHER COMBINED WITH THE AD INCOME, you will get rich but it will take time, SUBSCRIBERS MOST LIKELY INCREASE YOUR PAYOUTS,

Also dont worry donations will increase aswell, your donations will go from 1-5 per dono to like 100-250 every time during the mid-late game transformation.

GAMBLING
now unless you are really rich and i mean oil baron rich then dont gamble, dont trust the numbers as it is rigged to make you lose money to the capitalist island paradise


Also check in the ingame version of discord and look for the guy that gives you money but you need to pay him back abit, i dont know what the thinking behind that is because it is basically just he gives you free money, but PAY HIM BACK or he will steal a portion of your money everytime you dont

set your graphics on medium if not low if it is stuttering, that is what usually happens in indie games like this, it isnt your problem and it will probably take time before it goes away, if ever.

remember,
LAG IS A DANGER TO UTOPIA
