Rebellion led to pursuing creative passions through the twenties and contributing to amazing projects, but without savings. Sacrificing for the arts feels like a meme now that creators can be replaced by AI.

There are questions about what might have happened with earlier exposure to Bitcoin and investing; with both parents now too sick to work, regret exists over not lifting more of that burden.

Currently on a first digital-nomad arc, spending the longest time away from home in years and often torn between responsibilities—work has been everything, yet there’s recognition that life holds more.

Many in this space aim to build a future, but fear and greed often create PVP dynamics.

Hope remains that crypto can move beyond the “for someone to win, another must lose” mindset; maybe then retail will truly return, when financial freedom and genuine value align. One can hope 🙏

This clip resurfaces often and always hits home
People live in ways that prevent truly knowing them because constant short-term worries—survival—take priority

A parent spent a lifetime trying to make ends meet, very traditional and reserved; the family stayed disconnected, yet food was put on the table and schooling was paid for at the expense of that parent’s own health and access to care

There was an awareness of not being the best child—slightly misguided and sometimes rebellious—and daily frustration with the circumstances

Somehow focus was found, leading to involvement in this space; chasing perpetual growth prompts reflection about whether paying it forward earlier would have changed things

Even with much more money now, the eventual realization is what or who truly matters on the journey
