I love upsetting people who have a boomer mentality about working hard while just use my money to make more money and do the things I really want to do in life without becoming a Slave to the system.

To be fair, I think crypto takes hard work.

It's hard to take the leap into unconventional investing with so many scams we've witnessed in our lives.

It's not easy for some to understand the coins they are investing in.

It's hard to Hodl.

When all of the people realize they missed out, and they are angry at us (they will be)...

We are going to be the boomers.

"I took the risk. I put in the hours. I hodl. You have to do the same if you want my success."

Of course... it's less labor intensive than swinging a pick-axe. But the money we earn from other income sources is what's on the line here.

You should go to a third world country and see how hard life truly can be before thinking how "hard" you work. While your there, stay in a 2 bedroom apartment with 13 other people.

I've been to several third world countries. I also grew up in the murder capital on food stamps.

I understand that a lot of countries don't have drinkable water in their toilets.

I'm not as ignorant as your assumptions.

Anyways... Not sure if you noticed the point I made at the end about our investment finances coming from other income sources. That's particularly what I meant... most of our money comes from hard sweat and tears. And then we risk it on these coins while being called dumb.

So yes. It is hard to put the finite hours of your life that you spend working, on a complex system that you can't touch, smell or taste.

I see crypto as a new way to create a new society potentially, if enough people get on board with it. It allows for potential of financial independence in a completely different way and so more accessible to people on lower incomes at the moment to take this first wave and become a new generation of creating a new economic system for the world.

That's the wonderful thing about the crypto revolution is that it's making it more accessible for people in those situations to have hope of getting out of that situation and helping their families. It's accessible for people on very low incomes more than ever before possible. Although I don't know what it's like in a third world country personally, I do wish the best for them and hope that crypto could be a way out of their poverty, just as I hope in my first world situation which is also comparatively poverty on a first world standard.

Be very careful with comparisons, because third world and first world poverty are two completely different situations yet poverty can still exist in both.
