I’ve sailed around Europe on a giant super yacht. Bought super cars in cash. Blown multiple six figures in 1 vegas bender.
Over 15 years from poor to wealthy I can tell you this.
Nothing recreate the high/joy I get just waking up feeling fresh, pounding caffeine and coming to my simple desk set up in my garage to build and make shit.
I’ve had access to this from day one (minus my neon gay bar Jiu Jitsu garage).
Everyone in fact has access to this. Your peak happiness as a man is the cost of a coffee, laptop and wifi.
There is nothing you can buy or destination you can reach that will give you more life fulfillment/joy than just building cool shit.
In fact if you forget this, it’s possible to reach extreme unhappiness while having all the “I’ve made it” things.
You can be wildly depressed despite having a big house, luxury travel, fancy things, parties.
In fact these can make your life actively worse as they can take your focus from the simple things that make you happy, especially if they financially stress you and turn your work from a “joy” activity and into labor to pay for shit.
My point is you can stop worrying about “making it”. You already likely have everything you need to be turbo happy. You can just choose to be happy.
You’ve already won and can perma enjoy peak living now.
No amount of success/wealth will replace the joy of simply playing the games and personal journeys you get from building n growth.
So keep it simple and remember the main thing.
You’re a smart guy but obviously not tapped into the day to day memecoin trenches .. the reason we haven’t had big runners has nothing to do with anything besides the fact that the big trenchers who are willing to top blast 6 figures into good narratives / coins are taking a break due to market conditions atm. These coins that run really high are often by coincidence , obviously there’s cabal coins from time to time but the big runners are often due to non verbal a market wide agreement from 7-8 figure whales who are willing to top blast in. That confidence is no longer there atm, nor is the liquidity due to people being afk
