Honestly to me I have much more respect for someone who creates a side hustle and makes an extra $500 per month from actually doing something than someone who makes $50,000 off Tron
All cool, but does it matter?
I respect the hard worker. I really do.
But at the end of the day, I am happy taking the $50,000 off Tron.
And if I can't, I am the hard worker.
My point is were in a fantastic period where people can make a shitload off crypto but these type of gains are not going to last forever so people better get off their asses and gain some skills, improve themselves, and not rely on the golden Bitcoin goose forever.
I also kind of laugh when people brag about crypto gains as if they had anything to do with making that money. It reminds me of the 2008 recovery. I got cocky with my stock trading abilities, I made a shitload of money but in reality at that time you could throw darts at stocks at the wall and make money
You do realize some coins are planning on switching to Proof-of-Stake, which will allow you to earn dividends, right?
The crypto goose may not lay golden eggs for eternity. But if you can get enough eggs, you can live off the dividends for your entire life.
When I was younger, I thought it was noble/good work ethic/moral/whatever to work really hard. But then I got really fucking bored and tired of working 60-80 hour workweeks. The money wasn't worth it, and neither was the sacrifice I made in terms of my health and social life. It's a pretty idealistic approach to life when in contrast you can work 10x less and make 10x more.
I'll take my crypto gains over busting my ass any day. I've worked plenty hard the past decade and I'm done now.
