Few times a year I go on a 7 day vacation to remind myself how terrible retirement would be.
Doing nothing, traveling, eating and drinking is unbearable after 4 days.
There’s no end destination where you make enough and then do nothing. If you’re working. Enjoy where you are.
FYI : I spent years of my life in an empty apartment with just a mattress/desk/computer while having a 8 figure networth. AKA monk mode.
(AFTER living in a large mansion with lambos etc)
To figure this lesson out. Nothing I spent/bought the last year had any expectation to make me "complete".
I've known the truth above for a long time. Just passing it a long for those who may have recently discovered me.
If you think a certain $$ amount will make you "complete" read this.
This last year
-Bought a $600k+ car in cash when I was bored on a weekend
-Took a few vacations, private the entire way, about $150k-$200k each
-Moved into a 14 million $$ giant penthouse
I have driven the car like 3 times. I found the vacations barely tolerable after a few days. I like my house but I truly feel no big difference from it.
Why I share this with you. The above is near the pinnacle of how you can live $$ wise.
YET I STILL literally am only really happy when I am
-Building stuff
-Lifting/doing combat sports
-Eating right
-Progressing in hobbies (like guitar)
-In a good place with my wife
-Playing a good video game (If I'm being a piece of shit..I try not to do this..it ruins your head)
And following a routine that lets me do those things.
In short EVERYTHING I ever needed to be happy I had access to at the entry level of my career.
And there has been virtually nothing I can buy to increase it or have an elevated life experience.
It's not that I am some simple guy who like the little things in life.
It's truly just that WE (you and I) have no where to "escape" or "get to" to in life that will make you finally "good".
There is no destination where your "perma happy" and everything is good.
If anything the best that destination will ever be is doing a similar routine/list to mine above on PERHAPS a bigger scale.
AKA building bigger stuff, excelling at your hobbies/things you enjoy more.
Simply put : The things you need to be good are likely already fully available to you.
One of them likely being working on something your excited about.
SO what you should REALLY focus on is not where the "work" is taking or WILL take you, since the only goal is to keep being able to work...
AND MORE so focus on max enjoying your basic things and maximizing them.
MOST people spend their life NOT enjoying/sacrificing thinking they will escape pain and boredom at a certain destination AND OR that becoming turbo wealthy will give them this.
The truth is once base needs are covered you can't get happier or more fulfilled. Your capped.
You can get small boost and highs. But more or less your capped and the things you already like doing are already the things you need to be happy.
This is not me saying "don't get rich or spend money".
Its just me saying you might as well enjoy where you are right now because its pretty much as good as it ever gets if your achieving your simple list like mine above.
The point of the work towards a goal is the work. You can't work your way to happiness. Your life experience is already LIKELY near maxed if your doing the basics of healthy living and mental well being.
You can relax, bitcoin is never going below 90k ever again.
And when we break 100k...that it. Last time in history.
Sell your dog. Mug a stranger and take his wallet. Buy Bitcoin. Last chance ever.
2025 is going to be the year of AI agent/AI fever in all industries.
Bitcoin/ETH is going to charge leading to ABSURD overvaluations in AI crypto.
I can't understate this. Pack the fucking bags.
History may not repeat, but I the GOLDEN ALPHA PAPI KOL am the law...so if I say it will repeat it will...
DUH. I don't predict the market. I AM THE MARKET.
I'm incredibly confident the market is going to repeat how it behaved in 2020 into 2021.
AKA the bull hasn't even truly started. The market is up, but this was just the tip.
A company with a massive BTC treasury, BTC revenue, and pays 100% of their salaries in BTC. Who’s building this?
