Can someone explain to me why I have such toxic greed coursing through my veins?

I got about 30k from my grandfather after he passed away. I threw that all into crypto around Jan 2017. I put in 5k, then another 5k after I made some money, then the rest by Feb 2017.

Long story short, my ATH was 1.4MM. I managed to cash out about 650k before it all came crashing down (in 2017 and 2018 to minimize taxes, but still paid quite). My lowest point (I think around Jan-Feb of 2019) was like 30k for the remaining amount of crypto I had. Now it's back to 110k.

I feel like I've been ripped off. I feel angry at the crypto system, even though it made me like 400k post taxes and I still have 110k in coins.

I made out like a fucking bandit, traveled the world and did all kinds of ridiculous shit (don't have a real job). It was incredible...

but now, emotionally, I'm back to square one. Is this avarice? Is this what the bible warns against? How do I proceed with my life?

Take emotion out of it. in the end its just a game plus we all die. You were able to create some great memories which will last the rest of your life. plus its not over! the market is coming back and that 110k you have in crypto might 100x in the next 5 years. play the long game for now. you won the shortgame. take care dude!

Anything that has some ability to last. This could be almost anything, really -- a hiking trail, a house, an orphanage, a family, a religion. My personal favorites are creative arts -- whatever you write, draw, sing, etc., will conceivably last for as long as civilization endures, so long as it's digitized. Especially if it's put on the Bitcoin blockchain. Even if what you create sucks, by god it's from your soul to the world, and no one can hit the Undo button -- it's there and will continue to exist.

I would also look into creating an irrevocable trust for your descendants when you die, even if you don't plan on having kids. Your nieces and nephews, their nieces and nephews, and THEIR nieces and nephews will thank you for it. Put the funds into the S&P 500 and prescribe that dividends are paid out to blood-members of the family every month. Over the next century the fund will appreciate to ungodly amounts of money, and your descendants will be princes, ensuring they have the ability to build their own projects.

Really, anything that has lasting power will give you a certain amount of fulfillment. You just have to find what hits your heart the most. You should also look into meditation, and Buddhist teachings on samsara. There is no peace so long as you live, because dissatisfaction is inherent to experience. Fulfillment is just the best way to fight that, outside of enlightenment or suicide.

Where your money is, there will your heart be also. Your money is only there to make more money, so of course it's beginning to feel pointless. Believe it or not the Bible knows how to get you living a fulfilling life. Start giving your ten percents to a cause you feel pushes the world in the right direction. A selfish life will eventually be a heavy weight on your soul, whether you are conscious of this or not.

All of his companies run off government handouts based on the myth of (((global warming))).
Musk could use his entire fortune to save humanity, but won't because he is a fucking degenerate egomaniac.
He is from S. Africa, he knows the fate of the U.S.

Wrong.
Answer these 2 simple questions to see for yourself:
What dollar amount did Musk get total, in government handouts?
What dollar amount are his companies worth today?

You CAN defend yourself against malicious manipulators in the lying press by arming yourself with the basic facts, and feel better about life.
