I lived a wild life from 21-35. Dj’d parties. Worked in a strip club. High-flying bank job working with Silicon Valley tech. BMW. Drunk all-nighters. Hot girlfriends. But after 35 I settled down and got married. Now I have two daughters. I have more fun now than I ever did being some single jerk working in finance.
Society lied to you. Real wealth is having a family you have fun with.

@ColinTCrypto Because it's not a bottom yet.
There's a chance the bulls are right... but for these levels to be a bottom, price needs to go sideways for many months to create a structural floor. So there's no rush because that floor hasn't been created yet.
Bears are about patience.

3 things happen at the end of bear markets.
1) price cleanly breaks the cost basis of recent investors (circles).
2) idle smoking of hopium gives way to rabid clicking of the BUY button chasing the price
3) this raises the cost basis (red line transitions to green)

@edgaralandough If you need such a ritual to feel good you should also visit a psychologist

I STILL REMEMBER WHAT MY FATHER SAID: "If you need vacations to enjoy your life, you've built it wrong."
Here are 20 habits that make your life feel good on a normal day:
1. Wake up 30 minutes early and sit with coffee watching the sky change color

@_The_Prophet__ Alcohol made me get laid while i was paralysed with social phobia just for this no regret all those years. But there is a timely window for everything.
English
⚡️Alcohol is a socially legalized self-poisoning ritual that culture still flatters because it is old, profitable, and woven into status, celebration, and relief.
Most people still treat alcohol like a harmless lifestyle accessory with a few edge-case downsides. That is fantasy. Alcohol degrades sleep, recovery, judgment, mood stability, training quality, metabolic control, and long horizon health. It also has the uniquely stupid feature of making people feel like the damage is connection, sophistication, or decompression.
The real pattern is simpler. More alcohol means more damage. Frequent alcohol means compounding damage. Nightly alcohol is one of the dumbest normalized habits in modern life because it feels mild while quietly wrecking recovery.
The deepest truth is that alcohol’s biggest advantage is that it is familiar. People forgive it because they grew up around it. If alcohol were discovered today and introduced as a new consumer chemical that mildly reduces inhibition, worsens sleep, raises accident risk, increases long run disease burden, and trains people to borrow mood from tomorrow, respectable society would call it a public health disaster.
The line about offsetting damage with sunlight, exercise, and nutrition is weak. Those things make a person healthier. They do not transform alcohol into a smart choice. They help absorb the blow better. That is different. Stronger baseline health does not make repeated self-sabotage magically coherent.
So the real answer is simple.
Zero is best.
Rare is far better than regular.
Nightly is stupid.
Bingeing is barbaric.
The cultural defense of alcohol is way stronger than the biological case for it.
Where to stand on it?
Treat alcohol like an expensive tax on clarity, recovery, and future health. If someone still wants to pay that tax occasionally, fine. But call it what it is. Stop dressing it up as wellness, balance, or harmless fun.

@_The_Prophet__ 40 is on the contrary the time to become someone else
English
⚡️Forty is the age where a person finds out who they actually became.
By then, the body tells the truth. Money tells the truth. Marriage tells the truth. Kids tell the truth. Career tells the truth. Energy tells the truth. The fantasy version is dead.
Most people are not destroyed by bad luck. They are destroyed by fear, avoidance, and years of lying to themselves. Forty is when the bill shows up.
That is why it feels terrifying. Time is no longer theoretical. Parents start dying. Children need real provision. Weak habits become permanent damage. Mediocrity stops looking temporary and starts looking final.
Fear steals lives. People waste their strongest years hiding, delaying, coping, numbing, rationalizing, and pretending they still have endless time. Then forty arrives and reality becomes visible.
The clean truth is this.
Forty is terrifying because by then there is evidence.

The most terrifying age is 40. Not because you’re getting old or have some grey hair, but because your perception of time completely changes. At 40, life is f*cking serious. If you have kids and don’t work hard, they starve and end up getting a bad education. You also see the difference between those who f*cked around and figured it out and those that settled for mediocre. The stark difference will rip your face off. A person who could have done a lot and didn’t by 40 has wasted the best years of their life. It’s sad to see. By 40, the lifestyle you chose becomes obvious. Your hair turns grey or falls out if you abuse your body. You end up with a pot belly if you eat like sh*t. If you don’t go to the gym you have no energy. Something else happens. Your parents either die or have multiple near-misses. You start to realise they will be dead one day and you’re in charge of your bloodline. This responsibility weighs on you. Even cooler, the knob heads in high school who made fun of you or thought they were cool are not modern day losers. They work dead end jobs and watch sports with a beer to numb their pain. They don’t dare f*ck with your aura anymore. Pessimism can often set in to. You start to obsess over news and politics. You think the government will save you or that billionaires are evil for doing what you refused to do. Jealousy gets ugly. It becomes a realise valve. The best place to deploy it is on social media. You rage post comments calling stuff scams and trying to discredit people. But it doesn’t work. People ignore you because they know you’re a little b*tch. For many people, 40 becomes a moment of either radical transformation or a slow decline. The crazy part isn’t turning 40. It’s realizing how much time you wasted being trapped by fear.

@Tim_Denning It seems God is back on Earth.He lived his life following some take by a book he misinterpreted Kids starve if you dont work hard demonstrates total absenceof common sense

@DefiIgnas Being driven by easy money join hoeem and miles deutscher

Crypto easy money era has ended.
Historically, most easy money periods last 3-7 years:
- California Gold Rush lasted 7 years.
- Tulip mania lasted 3
- The dot-com bubble about 5 years before the Nasdaq dumped by 78%
- Japan's bubble was 6 years, then Nikkei took 34 years to recover
So most speculative booms in history last 3-7 years.
Crypto easy money started in 2017 with ICOs. Then DeFi summer 2020. NFTs in 2021. Airdrops. Points farming. Memecoins.
That's ~8 years of easy money.
We are already past that as every easy money model has been discovered, exploited, or arbitraged to max competition.
Philosophical hard-forks like BTC -> BTC Gold or ETH -> ETH classic are over as crypto ossified not just technically.
ICOs got regulated.
Airdrops get farmed by industrialized sybils.
Memecoin launches went from community fun projects to extraction tools.
The gold rush analogy seems quite good here as FOMOs end the same way:
Surface deposits get exhausted and then industrial mining takes over. (Literally same happened to BTC mining moving from retail to institutions who even IPOed from BTC mining.)
So here’s where crypto is now: TradFi suits moving in, tokenization, RWAs, corpo-sloppo permissioned chains, and regulation. The Trump family & insiders are the last to get easy money from crypto.
For retail, the surface easy money gold picking is gone.
What's left to earn requires real infra, real users, real revenue which means more specialization, specific knowledge and REAL hard effort.
Not sure how many of us who got easy money are ready to grind harder now.
So many builders, KOLs, projects are extracting as much as they (we) can before leaving crypto coz adapting to the new hard-money period is gonna be hard.
Question is: where to pivot for easy money? Asking for a friend.

Loneliness was the silent killer.
The loneliest men in the study:
- Died significantly earlier
- Reported more chronic pain
- Suffered worse memory loss
- Experienced faster cognitive decline
And more people are lonely thank we think:

Harvard tracked 724 men for 80 years to figure out what makes you live longer.
They measured everything from income to IQ, and even genetics.

I admit I'm lazier this bear run:
During previous bear markets I was still greedy for gains and hungry to learn.
I was researching, testing multiple apps per day, reading docs, and looking for potential hot new narratives to ride when market returns.
Now I'm barely touching my wallets. RWAs, payments, tokenized stocks are great but aren't as exciting as new defi primitives or even hamster racing
Posty@PostyXBT
CT is 100% different this bear market. The last two bear markets still had people learning to trade, sharing their set ups for feedback. People building, writing, enthusiastic about something or other... The best part about bear markets was ofc lower prices to buy but also connecting with likeminded people. Maybe I'm following the wrong people now. People who left the space but I can't follow the new people because it's all engagement farming for an X payday. Activity will pick up in the bull but it will just be tourists here for a quick buck once again. Maybe the good old days are truly finished...

How much would you be willing to pay to eat at the "most famous buffet in the world?"
Unlimited lobster, flaming duck, oysters, crab legs, 111+ cheeses, suckling pig, bone marrow and chateaubriand.
I'd pay a happy hundred to eat at Les Grand Buffet, France.

@thealepalombo only big cities in the south: what a research!
English
I'm Italian. After my thread on Italy's hidden cities blew up, a close French friend called me.
"You did Italy. Now do France. But don't embarrass yourself, let me 'elp."
We spent a weekend going back and forth. He'd suggest a city, I'd research it. I'd push back, he'd prove me wrong. By Sunday night, we had a list.
7 hidden cities in France that most people, including most French, will never think to visit, let alone move to.
No crowds. No tourist markup. Insane quality of life.
