Everybody’s talking about 100 men vs 1 gorilla but I got a better question 100 gorillas vs 1 Lily Phillips?

FREEDOM!!!!

Feels like America is rapidly turning into Gotham City. If you're rich and don't mind paying $30 for a burrito, congratulations, life is great. You can Uber around town for $50, spend $100 on cocktails and some meal conceived by a "French visionary" but prepared by people working minimum wage, wear your quarter zip, and avoid getting set on fire on the subway. That's as good as it gets. But for everyone else, are things really that great? The fabric of American society for decades was the belief that things would get better. It wasn't just a belief, it was true; everyone was confident that their children would live a better life than they did. Does anyone believe that anymore? I don't think so (but if you do, I have a bridge to sell you). They spit out numbers to assure us things are on the right track, "Crime on the subway is down", "GDP per capita is up 5%", "The market is at record highs". A while ago, stuff like this actually meant something, people participated in the upside. Now, for most people it's meaningless. America is rapidly turning into a nation were people are commoditized, and own nothing. You don't own music, you don't own software, you don't own your house. You're just a little piggy getting milked by some dude who was unpopular in high school, and is still mad about it. Everything two years the prices, like clockwork, are "raised to be in line with broader inflation". It feels like everything from your bank, to your credit card, to your insurance, no longer works for you Something goes wrong, try getting a hold of them without going through a 30 Minute Third-World Obstacle course getting passed from "Customer Service Agent" to Customer Service Agent who knows nothing, but strangely likes to pretend they are in America. You work for them now. The sense of disillusionment only intensifies when you realize how bizarre the entire thing is. The people living in the concrete jungle lecture you about planting trees. The Private Jet Cop 25 squad tells you your gas stove will kill the planet. The Morality Police of Hollywood routinely get arrested for Child Trafficking, yet somehow no one ever really goes to prison. The geniuses in charge of NYC tell you that crime is down, and that paying Pakistan to rent a $220 Million Hotel to provide meals and debit cards to people bused into the city is somehow in your best interest. Deep down no one believes it, but strangely everyone almost everyone accepts it as true. You make people feel powerless, saddle them with 30% APR credit card debt, student loans they can't discharge, and a minimum wage job that barely covers rent and a bank account that pays them 0.01% as a "valued customer", and then blanket them on social media with 10 sec videos of people flying in private jets and "motivational videos" from gurus telling them it's their fault they are wage slaves? Why act surprised when they start to get wild? What did you think would happen? 2024 was a crazy year, looking forward to an even more crazy 2025... not sure what the purpose of this rant was, but a good question to ask yourself is "what is the end game", and is it really worth it.

@FleuryNFT I’ve been there too but with half of that amount, it fucking sucks but there’s still time to make it back, plus you learned from it all. Followed you, let’s grind it back up.

Some would argue that I shouldn’t ever open up and make a post like this, but f*ck it. A little over a month ago I lost $460,000 trading using leverage. Since then, I was able to take some time off to reevaluate things but it hasn’t really helped It feels like I wasted a year of my life building for nothing. Sacrificed my health as well as a lot of time with my family and friends to make that money which I recklessly torched within 72 hours Some days I wake up feeling optimistic about life, but a lot of the time I still feel like shit and can barely function as a normal human. I hit rock bottom I’m 21 years old. Not really sure where to go from here. Feels like I have the world ahead of me, but also feels like time is running out Went from making $10,000 a day in March to now having to look for summer jobs making $18 an hour Readjusting back to reality has been a struggle for me It sucks to know that I have the trading skills to make it, but lack the bankroll management and self discipline to hold onto it Losing that trust within myself has been extremely difficult to wrap my head around Learning how to trust myself again is now the most important thing in my life. After a bunch of soul searching, I’m now realizing there is nothing else to do except get back to work. What else am I supposed to do with my life? @huddybags had to loan me $500 in January. That’s all I had to my name The hardest thing about this comeback will be dropping all ego and getting to back to work like I did in January Need to double down on what I’m good at and stay away from the degenerate sh*t that constantly knocks me off my path It’s time to get back in the trenches, get back into community takeovers, get back to marketing, and get back into screaming at devs to work for my f*cking bags. Not exactly sure what I’ll get from making this post Watched a Ted Talk last week about a women who lost everything on her entrepreneurial journey. She said that opening up on Facebook was the best thing she ever did. Now I’m here Here’s my moment of vulnerability, went from thinking I had made it finally to being at rock f*cking bottom. Every bit of advice is more valuable now. If you’re someone who has been in this spot before or you just want to say “I told you so” go ahead and please let me hear it Last long form post for a while. Time to get back to work. Hope you guys enjoy the show

Summary of my daily TL

if i could give one piece advice it would be live below your means. if you could buy a $50,000 car, buy a $25,000 car. financial freedom is more comfortable than leather seats i promise.

@unctheaddict Realized this over the bear market, you’ll lose your mind trying to keep up with everything. That was def me last cycle

Crypto can be literal hell if you allow it to be, trust me … You have to climb out of the rabbit hole & can’t be consumed by this shit. The money, the charts, the market, the social media dialogue, chats, etc. You simply have to log off, ain’t worth the mental toll.

Unpopular opinion: NFTs make more sense than memecoins NFTs we’re like sneaker drops, they had a date, set price, art and set amount. If you were fast or lucky you could win Memecoins pop up out of nowhere, mostly insider trading and make no sense Mayb I’m just a hater lmfao

all men would live like this till the end of time…. if it weren’t for women.

@unctheaddict You still got plenty of time to bounce back. 40s is the new 30s, you’ll bounce back bro all about mindset

Someone cheer me up … I’m old af, turn 46 tmrw, my wife hates me, lost it all b/c of crypto, lost my job, and my dog shit on my favorite flip flops.

JUST IN: 🇭🇰 Hong Kong's #Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs officially approved to begin trading on April 30th.

Forgot about a couple of @DriftProtocol & @JupiterExchange positions I opened on my alt a week ago and it looks like I accidentally longed the bottom Oops, I’ll take the surprise money though gg

@etirouleau @patty_fi Most people can’t afford to do it, don’t know about doing it, or are already doing it lmfao

Bro reality is crypto twitter is down right delusional lol Average person will never see 6 figures in their bank account Average person makes 59k annually 4% interest on 5 mill is 200k a year If you can’t retire on that you just spend too much
