Yep.

>>26120685
The lesson that money doesn't, in and of itself, make you happy, seems to be one of the first for more cerebral people. I'm at just over $3M net worth now. Shopping for a big ass house. Bought a McLaren. It's pretty cool sometimes. But mostly the same.

Also very quickly realise that there are levels to all of this. Some 21 yr old from Dubai that dresses like a poor person has an entirely different realm of wealth than I do. Crazy. None of it really matters I guess. inb4 nice blog

>>26120841
what can we do
i even have a gf, and I'm still depressed

I'm happy but I have no money to buy my gf and I a house and move out of her parents

I hate my life, if I was early to Chainlink I wouldn't want to neck

I'd be happy if I didn't have a hundred mental scars do deal with

>>26120885
I'm not personally depressed, but I think I have a pretty solid defense of having a hobby I enjoy, and having taken enough mushrooms to know not to take any of this too seriously. We're all just kids inside anon, find what you want to do with your time. Don't take it for granted; it's disrespectful to the dead.

>>26120685
Stop drinking booze, eat vegetables with your meals and eat two meals a day at reasonable times. Drink water and get plenty of sleep. Take vitamins and exercise strenuously at least twice a week. If you don’t feel better after a month of this regimen then you should talk to a shrink.

>>26120841
You arent going to have money for long if you are buying shit like a mclaren with only 3 million dollars net worth.

>>26120685
YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY

>>26120685
It's because deep down you know that in order to get millions of dollars you'll have to let go of your linkies

>>26120841
lol I have 3 mil and I can't even imagine thinking that's enough for a McLaren lifestyle
But hey if it makes you happy fuck it

>>26121076
This and stop all social media shit.

Yep. You get used to it.

>>26120685
Get more sunlight, Anon.

>>26121340
is this the new 'I am a bad guy now' ?
Cringe

>>26120685
I do, bro. In the same situation.

>>26120841
Do you have a job? I'm worried about buying a house with gains but not having employment. I just want to live off my investments, fuck working.

>>26120841
My only goal is that i can have a home to call my own that’s paid off. I just need to break 300k and il be able to pursue all my interests, even if i don’t end up liking them, i want my own destiny again and i can’t live in a world where i need to dump 40 hours a week into something i don’t care about

>>26120685
stop fapping

>>26121076
Some of the advice here is good, but
>eat two meals a day at reasonable times
I have no clue where this meme comes from. You eat as many meals as you need. There is nothing magical about of and ot doesnt make you happier or healthier.
>Take vitamins
You dont need to take any pills if your diet is good and you dont have any health issues
>exercise strenuously at least twice a week.
You did say at least, but I still need to point this out - exercising two times a week is nowhere close where it should be. 4 times a week or even better everyday of moderate exercise that includes some form of cardio and strength endurance training is generally much better than getting your ass blasted 2 times a week lifting heavy weights.

>>26121097
>>26121224
Cost to own is like $20k per year total...are you retarded

>>26121696
Yeah I have a silicon valley job that pays pretty well. I can afford everything I own without crypto.

>>26121905
Paying off your house is a meme. Interest rates are 2%. Inflation will be much greater.

>>26121282
is 4chan social media?

>>26121696
thats my worry. if i make it, i want to study and do things that i want to do without financial burden. but im afraid if i dont finish my degree i wont have any marketable skills and wont be able to pick up a job if i ever have to

WHY DOESN'T THIS PIECE OF SHIT MOVE?

>>26121968
No, its a prison.

>>26121968
4chan is mostly cancer nowadays unfortunately. biz is full of larping faggots from r*ddit trying to fit in and get rich. almost all of the OGs have left, myself included minus popping in here and there.

>>26121968
It's social media for asocial and antisocial people.

>>26121939
nah I'm not retarded I just have a being-a-cheapass problem
I need help, I'll admit it

>>26121968
it's antisocial media

>>26122085

feels

>>26122135
people freak out about the sticker price, and I get it...but buy used and the bulk of the depreciation goes away. modern supercars are reliable, like audis and shit. they come with warranties. there is zero replacement for the experience of owning and driving a supercar everyday.

>>26122079
age?

>>26122287
so you bought a used mclaren? what year? plan on keeping it for a while or plan on replacing every few years

>>26122225
Now that I think about it, originalfags were just weebs wo liked to look at anime titties, oldfags and newfags were mostly asocial people who came to hang out in a place without the normie profile faggotry that comes with persistent forums, and cancer++ were antisocial rejects who got permabanned everywhere else.

>>26120685
Same op

>>26121076
What vitamins should I take? Already have vit d & b12

>>26122337
30s

>>26122409
2019. Will replace it before the warranty expires for sure. I want to try new cars as well. I got a good price on it as well, which helps. Took me awhile to find.

Old ETH fag and early LINK Marine
Ive been up and down but enough security where I can spend a few Million and it wouldn’t hurt at all.
$ doesn’t shift my mood. Im numb to losses and gains.
Glad to see I’m not the only weirdo

>>26120841
>Bought a McLaren.
If you actually had to buy the mclaren to realize it wasn't going to fix your happiness problem, you're not cerebral bro. At best you're 110IQ midwit.

>>26120685
>glass of booze is still in the picture
that might have something to do with it..

>>26120685
Join a cult/religion, learn a trade AND marry and have children. The recipe for happiness doesn't change if you have money

>>26120841
>Bought a McLaren.
Waste of fucking money.

>>26120841
Lol I have 10 mill and own an island where I am sitting RIGHT NOW shitposting on /biz/

>>26122601
>projecting this hard

I love my life. I have zero happiness issues. I have just always loved cars. I've gotten an unbelievable amount of enjoyment out of my McLaren. Not sure who you're talking to.

>>26122732
topkek

>>26122586
damn
but yeah money can't really buy happiness, but it can buy comfiness and then you gotta look for the happiness yourself

>>26120841
kek that mclaren comment is gonna make the poors seethe

>>26120685
Bro figure out how to go up maslow heirarchy. If you can not it is a sign of disfunction. Go find hobbies that can be social and physical. Pick up a new sport, ones that accepting if you have no experience no matter the age. now that my games are coming in I'm going back to jujitsu again and it's nice to join the old club again.

>>26121935
You are completely clueless midwit. >What is vitamin D?
>what is Omega 3?
>what is intermittent fasting and proven health benefits?

Just go back please

>>26121195
this

>>26120685
Idk man. I think happiness is pretty overrated anyway. The confidence that comes with making money and the realisation of others who previously thought you weren't capable of making money is far more satisfying than any temporary happiness. Also, the secret to a fulfilled life is gratitude.

>>26120685
Maybe you should liquidate anon and do the things you love. Am rooting for you.

>>26120685
My advice If you’re watching porn stop, or at least limit it to once a week or something, that shit messes you up in all kinda ways if you’re doing it regularly. Fap as normal but ditch the porn

>>26121076
>Stop drinking booze, eat vegetables
You think I became rich so I could sober up and eat fucking carrots all day?
Fuck off with that shit bro I’m going to party my balls off.

>>26120841
>he fell for the car meme

Money makes life easier not happier if your misarble.

>>26120685
Being happy is not the goal.
It's what modern society sells you, but it never have been the case for your incestors, never: they wanted to do their job the best they can, raise their children the best they can, have a beer with friends, and aging while watching their grandchildren grow.
The magical thing is that all of that makes people happy, not happiness.

>>26120685
Source of my pain is that I envision LINK being worth $1000, so even though I'm relatively wealthy now, I WANT TO FUCKING MAKE IT ALREADY

>>26120685
so escaping the rat race and enjoy life is a meme?

>>26123150
If you've never been in a nice/fast car, you'll never get it. Some people love cocaine. I love cars and women. It is what it is.

>>26120685
Yes. I'm not capable of enjoying anything anymore

Happiness is a meme, read about the hedonic treadmill

>>26120685
It's hard to realize until I think about it.
>Would have been happy to make a couple hundred dollars back in 2016
>Now I just got 5k growth since Thursday and all I can think about is making my first million
I need a pent house with a view before I'm happy. Maybe.

>>26120685
it's because most of the time, depression isn't a psychological problem, it's a biochemical one

no not serotonin. the serotonin hypothesis has been disproven. if anything you want less serotonin, not more. look into ray peat, your probably hypothyroid or something. or you have vitamin a toxicity. or you have hemachromatosis without knowing it. something like that.

>>26123292
Like always, it deepends. Hookers and cocaine are a meme, living an humble live isnt. You just need to keep your inner jew in check, before his greed eats you alive.

go on a drug binge boys, like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

>>26122935
>falling for the fish oil scam
also jacking up your coritsol all the time by fasting is not healthy either

i have 20 links
am i going to make it with you la

>>26122435
>cancer++ were antisocial rejects who got permabanned everywhere else.

This was me. 4chan was the first place that didn't ban me.

>>26123974
4000 Link and I feel the same, anon.

>>26123611
That’s a myth it’s about controlling insulin/blood sugar, plenty of high level pro athletes eat once a day, your body gets extremely efficient if you stick to it for a year or so . It’s a different type of clarity when your stomachs not breaking down food 24:7 and your blood sugar isn’t spiking every hour or so like most

>>26120685
no, because i haven't made enough yet

>>26121968
no, it's the heaven we deserve

Well, I'm 24 and retired, financially independent.
It's not like it makes me super happy but it sure is better than living with my parents, working a shitty or stressful job for a low pay and saving up. Now I have the money to buy whatever I want while grocery shopping and to do whatever I want in life, which is art, traveling and starting my own business. Ofcourse, I could have done it all without money too. But money makes it easier and a lot safer. I am financially stable and secure. That is a good feeling. Doesn't make me euphoric 100% of the time. But definitely a lot more confident and I feel like I have every opportunity now to live a great life if I want to.
You'll only understand it after you make it. I thought I understood before making it, but I really didn't. Now that it happend, I know.

I only have 30 Link and feel fine. Stop complaining so much.

>>26120841
So you're still a virgin living at your moms house. Got it.

Money is not going to make you happy, money is just a means of exchange. Something you can use to build a better life for yourself - which then makes you happy.

>>26120885
>gf

GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD NOW!

But for the most part, if I would have never had a computer and never came to 4chan etc I probably wouldn't be rich but maybe I would have spend more time playing instruments, painting or developing some other real life skills, which I could then actually use to make money from and to live a meaningful life with. Instead I came here for years and spent so much time on my computer trading... and now, I've learnt how to trade and I made money, but that's it. It's just a means to earn but not something that really fulfills you. You need things besides your trading. I focused a lot on cryptocurrency the past 6 years of my life and it worked out, I got success with it and I'm happy for that. But it also led me to neglect everything else: exercise, love life, friends,... I'm just a shut in trading shitcoins. Now I really have to try to get over my internet addiction and to do something in the real world.

>>26126493
idiot

The prime years of my youth, gone! Sitting on a desk at the computer! We always complain about wageslaving but we are 4chanslaving! We truly are slaves to the "refresh" button and to the charts. We're chained to them 24/7!

>>26126620

My dudes, I feel you. But why settle? You can invest and live a holistic life. Try Acro yoga, that’s my favorite. You work out and meet amazing humans irl.

Buffet showed you da wae decades ago. And you scoffed at him.

I’ve been holding on to my BTC, ETH, TSLA, GME, APPL, ROKU, etc since 2016 and returns have never been better while I enjoyed my life on my terms, dumped my GF and married my dream woman after I got her to divorce. I can liquiditate or borrow against my stack when necessary.

Stop fucking trading like money starved autists. Recognize value and hold on tight.

>>26120685
I have been lurking here for 2 years now and didnt invest in anything because all I have is an old laptop thats full of viruses.feels good to see fucked up people that are similar to me find success.it really fills me with hope seeing you guys getting richer every day and I hope will experience that too.never forget that money is just the means to an end.

>>26126906
You're right and I actually have no reason at all to speculate because I am a long term holder. I'm just here checking the news and market everyday and talking about it because I am also very passionate about blockchain and trading and I like the hobby.

But I need to find better balance.

I actually really want to get into yoga!
Just having a really hard time not being on my smartphone or computer, when I log off I have this urge of coming back. Covid social isolation doesn't make it easier.

It actually pisses me off that retard like you has the audacity to call me a midwit.
>What is vitamin D?
>what is Omega 3?
Where the fuck do you think those things come from you imbecile? Thin air?
From fish, eat fish you moron.
>what is intermittent fasting and proven health benefits?
There are also proven benefits of having normal diet. Much more proven than those of IF. Look at average life length of Japanese person. No one in that country does IF, they just dont eat like shit. You dont have to do IF to not eat like shit.
Stop trying to sound smart because you watched some youtube videos.
I have done IF in the past by the way.

>>26120841
>more cerebral people
top quality bait
anyone over 150iq can find something useful to do with money. it's the 110-120iq dunning-kruger brainlets who have meme depression and think they've got the world figured out because they compare themselves to normalfags

>>26120685
yeah whats the point of making it when america is now a communist state.

>>26120841
Haha yeah same here bro! Money definitely doesn't make you happy. i have a net worth of about 60 million, drive a bugatti and live in a big mansion with 3 different wives who all suck me off at my whim.
it's not as people make it out to be honestly. it isn't much different than living from week to week and hoping you can pay off the bills and still manage to eat something other than bread and tap water so you don't get another debt collector knocking on your door. the taste of old moldy bread gives me a bliss of nostalgia to the good old days where everything was simple. haha i mean, it's not that much different than living in a app or pod, eating bugs,owning nothing, and waveslaving goy :P !

>>26120685
