    ALT80Y has the most potential to do more than X10. ETH and BTC will most likely do a X5-X6, but that's fine for me. Gotta look for better entry points while I stake IRIS and PGEN, then wait for Polygen's next raise as I also look at their new partnership with Kenzo Ventures.

    Yep, it is quite sad that there's really no one you can genuinely share your success with except yourself (perhaps with the exception of your mom). I see all others get very jealous when you have much more than they do and much more successful than they are. People who hung around are there to take from you and not really there to support or provide anything to you. In this world, you can only trust yourself, be good to yourself and be proud of all the hard work you've put in to get to where you are today. So, pat yourself on the back and treat yourself to the best that there is because on one else will and no one else really matters.

      @cryptoinside8814 Рік тому

      @@alcoyot Yes, I have the same issue with my brother. We are literally two extreme opposites. Sometimes I wonder if we do have the same set of parents. It also tears my heart quite a bit, but after we are all grown up, each of us seek our own paths. Not just brothers can get jealous, sometimes even your own father can get jealous if you are more successful than your dad. Mom is the only one who will be proud because she gave birth to you 🙂 Your success is her success.

    The most insightful thing in this video to me was the part about how the person in the mirror is the one looking out for you the most. What I find interesting about that concept is when you think about people who seemingly sabotage themselves. If we're honest with ourselves, those self-sabotaging people are likely fulfilling a subconscious need to protect themselves from something that harmed them in the past. In my understanding, a big part of growing up is taking yourself through the memories of your childhood and re-examining them with more context so that those previous defense mechanisms are pointed in the right directions for the new context you might find yourself in.

    I recognize a lot about my own thinking process in this video, and what kind of lifestyle I envision for myself. Stopped with my full time job as well for 12 months now, rather try to venture, to connect and meet with strangers. I have learned that time is limited and do things now rather than later. Being financially independent does make things easier. I have experienced first hand that life can be too short and can be very cruel to people.
    Although I have always traveled in my early twenties for the past 25 years and I have been at many different continents and countries around the globe with Asia being my favorite continent, which made me richer in learning different cultures and have first hand experience. But I have only recently started to travel solo first time since last year to Singapore and Malaysia. Totally different experience traveling solo.
    I’m again learning more about myself and interact differently with people I meet.
    I have a few trips planned and look forward them.

Without flexibility, you can't spend that money and you'll likely get pulled into the lifestyle of your close friends or work buddies rather than doing what you really want.

    nice solo travel :))). because of the pandemic, we gotta stay home all the time, and we tend to forget a lot of things, including nature, i used to be an active young boy but when covid burst out, i've grown a really bad habit that is nerding at home and doing many silly stuffs to kill time, i never use my pc much before the pandemic, but now i use it almost of my day, instead of seeing nature magnificence or my loved ones' faces i stare at screen most of the time, it's sad that i just realized this recently, previous days, after sitting for soooo long in my desk watching silly things i subconsciously stood up and take my bike and just go out, wandering some rural parts of the city that have many trees and lakes not just houses, blocks, cars, zombies :)), and then i suddenly drop by at a lake, after so long, i just feel that my senses came back to nature, and my nerves, it calmed down so much i must confess, only left with the sounds of wind, air, water, some boats, aaahh, the scenery is just like a privilege if you stay at the center of your city, no so long after i came at the "lake" i don't know it's maybe sea road, but much smaller than sea, a huge rain started, and i tried to find some nearby places to hide out from the rain, and the rain just linger for 1 hour, in just 1 hour, i experience many things i neglect for so long, i try my best to get in touch with nature, the rain drops roll over my skin, it's freshing and chilling and i just came to realize that how long i did'nt experience a rain, i've been in my house for so long, and i decided the next time i will have this wandering solo travel more and more if i there is a chance, actually that day's weather is very speacial, i live in the center of the city, lack of trees, many blocks, no lakes, less and less rain happened and it kindda annoyed me, when i was a child, i hated rain because then i can't go out and play, i like the heat of the summer, i didn't treasure rain back then, but now when i'm a 18 years old boy i love rain so much, rain makes the air cooler and fresher :)). btw i concur with most of your thoughts about things, belief and opinion, our society nowadays, just want to let you know that we have pretty much things in common:))

    What he'll find out (and probably make a video about, months from now) is that trying to "take care of yourself" and going to the most beautiful places in the world wears thin after a while, because ultimately to live is to love. without love, what do you have? it's not about a destination or an activity, it's about shared experiences and memories.

    So I’m working toward that end, but I’m already way more advanced than most Americans, than pretty much anyone I’ve known. I don’t have debt. Most ppl don’t even get to orc town. They just swim in a swamp of debt. And then if you have a kid it’s even worse, forget about even thinking of visiting onsens. You will paying your kids private school and preschool for life. So, I mean having a kid does bring some meaning, but it throws away any hope of leaving orc town, for those who can even dream of it.
