Why are boomers like this? I've been told multiple times by them that I am "wasting time" by not working - even if I make 3x in crypto as much as I would working in any starting job in my country. They say I'm not chasing life and that money isn't everything when I mention I'm making a nice amount. They also said the classic "crypto is a ponzi" meme.

Wat do?

I agree, but the problem I've stumbled upon is if I get a normal wagie job I won't have nearly as much time as I have now to focus on trading and making what I make. My "long term" dream is to live doing my shitty art and having a clothing brand, I don't see how wagecucking can help with that other than exposing me to possible connections

Why would you even care, idiot? You're already ahead of the curve, fuck what the brainwashed normies think

Holy shit I understand having to handhodl poor incels so they can get a shot at life and help us bring about the beta uprising or whatever the fuck you wanna call it, but when you're doing well you don't really need to be handhedl, do you?

Grow a pair and support your life choices with some spunk, ya know? And I mean that both literally and figuratively

literally every single one of them would make their money from crypto if they understood how it works or had the ability. what you're experiencing is boomer/wagecuck cope. boomer cope is due to the fact that they can never be young and rich, and absolutely hate anything that enables this for anyone else. wagecucks need to justify their slavery by fanciful ideas such as "chasing life", as if working a job that you self-created where you click a button on your laptop from anywhere in the world 20 times a month and make six or seven figures a year would prevent you from "chasing life"

When ETH switches to Proof of stake you'll be making passive income from staking.

If you have 1500 ETH you've already made it, just a matter of time.

(the minimum for solo staking)

If I absolutely HAD to work I'd just let my meme money sit on long term projects and look at it 1-2 times a week. Making a bad trade and not looking/missing out on something would be devastating due to the lack of time

they rely...
they rely on you to take care of them in old age, but they shipped off their parents to a nursing home without even an ounce of empathy and thinking it through
they rely on the state to give them a hefty pension but they spent (past tense) every penny of their monthly wages on frivoulous shit to "fuel the economy" while our age
they rely that their status-quo, despite economic hardships, stays established like in:
they rely on that long, expensive holiday once a year instead of helping their kids pay off their debt or renovating the house to, one day, give to the kids...

my parents, btw. did the exact opposite in all points i just established...
that's why i can point them out so easily...
if you parents check even onw or two points off that list, they don't deserve you taking care of them at old age.

don't make their mistakes and
DON'T RELY ON ANYBODY
you are an island from the point you are born to the point you drop dead... remember that always, swallow this thruth and let it shine through any major decision you make in your life...

and you shall make it...
break the economic and cultural bonds your boomer parents have shackled you with...
they don't believe in you...
you don't believe in yourself...

but i believe in all of you...

Normies want you to be a normie too. They can't NOT be a normie because they would instantly be crushed into pieces by peer pressure from other normies. Normies are weak-willed soulless retards.

People think you have to work to make money. They don't understand other avenues of income. In addition, some of them need a feeling of accomplishment that comes from doing a good job. We all need that feeling, some of us just get it from other things.

>>9622298
Tell yourself whatever you need to man. I'm a normie and a wagecuck and I'd love nothing more than to NEET it up. I'd just rather work and have more money to put into crypto.

Once I have enough for 20 acres, a house, and 4-5 years of wages while I set up my aquaculture/organic farm? I'll be working for myself.

Work your ass off and do Crypto part time. Crypto is not everything and I have been saying it for the longest of times, Cryptocurrencies will never be like it was last year. It is literally in the name. Crypto(((c u r r e n c y))). A currency is meant to be stable and literally using technical analysis for speculation is fucking autistic.
