ETERNALLY BORED

If you think a certain $$ amount will make you "complete" read this. This last year -Bought a $600k+ car in cash when I was bored on a weekend -Took a few vacations, private the entire way, about $150k-$200k each -Moved into a 14 million $$ giant penthouse I have driven the car like 3 times. I found the vacations barely tolerable after a few days. I like my house but I truly feel no big difference from it. Why I share this with you. The above is near the pinnacle of how you can live $$ wise. YET I STILL literally am only really happy when I am -Building stuff -Lifting/doing combat sports -Eating right -Progressing in hobbies (like guitar) -In a good place with my wife -Playing a good video game (If I'm being a piece of shit..I try not to do this..it ruins your head) And following a routine that lets me do those things. In short EVERYTHING I ever needed to be happy I had access to at the entry level of my career. And there has been virtually nothing I can buy to increase it or have an elevated life experience. It's not that I am some simple guy who like the little things in life. It's truly just that WE (you and I) have no where to "escape" or "get to" to in life that will make you finally "good". There is no destination where your "perma happy" and everything is good. If anything the best that destination will ever be is doing a similar routine/list to mine above on PERHAPS a bigger scale. AKA building bigger stuff, excelling at your hobbies/things you enjoy more. Simply put : The things you need to be good are likely already fully available to you. One of them likely being working on something your excited about. SO what you should REALLY focus on is not where the "work" is taking or WILL take you, since the only goal is to keep being able to work... AND MORE so focus on max enjoying your basic things and maximizing them. MOST people spend their life NOT enjoying/sacrificing thinking they will escape pain and boredom at a certain destination AND OR that becoming turbo wealthy will give them this. The truth is once base needs are covered you can't get happier or more fulfilled. Your capped. You can get small boost and highs. But more or less your capped and the things you already like doing are already the things you need to be happy. This is not me saying "don't get rich or spend money". Its just me saying you might as well enjoy where you are right now because its pretty much as good as it ever gets if your achieving your simple list like mine above. The point of the work towards a goal is the work. You can't work your way to happiness. Your life experience is already LIKELY near maxed if your doing the basics of healthy living and mental well being.

by the end of this cycle every major tech company will hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet Bitcoin is still only $1.7T market cap Gold is $17T.

To anyone that needs a “pick me up” - 20-30% pullbacks on majors (and more on alts) in bull markets are not uncommon. Most important thing is to have at least 75% of your portfolio in conviction longs where you don’t panic if the price goes lower because you have real, genuine conviction. Taking a moment off screens to clean up your book and consolidate to core positions is never a bad idea in any environment and will help you a lot psychologically. Worst thing you can do is fumble your best bags in an early bull market dip only to watch them go a lot higher later. I made that mistake in May 2021 and left a tonne of pnl on the table. It’s way I think taking a little bit of profits along the way on days of insane strength is never a bad thing coz you appreciate it on days like today and it gives you ammo to buy dips, rather than panicking to sell them. Most people have an obsession with timing tops and bottoms and get fixated with net worth numbers or anchored to prior pnl positions; these are slippery slopes and you have to appreciate you’re never going to consistently time tops and bottoms; just have to mentally accept that you are gonna leave money on the table. Personally I still think we have a lot higher to go, I’ve taken profits to fiat 2x this year which helps me not panic on down days, but I’m looking for new ATHs on alts before I take anymore off the table.
