There are just some friends that are not worth the time. they're probably losers + poor and they don't value you at the same time.

I'll hold on to friends who are genuine during the time that i spent with them. And they value my friendship. This is even if they are poor.

I do absolutely get disgusted by friends that are so damn fuckin needy that they need me to attend their every event. They'll have weekend bbqs every 2-3 weeks and literally think you're less of a friend if you don't attend as often as their other friends who have a fuck ton of time on their hands.

Sure, I'll go to an important event some of the time but i honestly hate these friendships. I walk away from those before I make. So I guess I can become an instant ahole even before i make it lol

They truly genuinely believe that one good investment makes them a brilliant investor. Not only that being rich makes them better than you (they believe that too) but that they DESERVE those riches by being SO SMART. They believe this, despite having seen with their own eyes the biggest retards in the world make generational gains from tron verge ripple and countless other literal scams.
They can't help it. When you're rich the world tells you you're a genius. It takes an incredibly strong person to resist the fairy tale.

Good people won't let money affect them in that way. But I could certainly see when I first started out investing how the peaks inflated my ego and then dips humbled me. Now my emotions are not attached to it anymore as it was getting in the way anyway.

being a sociopath makes you a pathethic person. much like those trips you're a 0 a zero. a loser. Money doesn't make you anything. CEOs and world leaders are all sociopaths because thats an requirement to be one of these things, since no loveable empathic person would be able to hold a tyrannic position like that. You surround yourself with intense negative energy from other people that abuse their power. One has to be of great levels of charisma and empathy as well as sense to not be swayed by these psychopaths while still not being walked over.
o those who withhold refuge, I cradle you in safety at the core of my Being.

To those that cause a child to cry out, I grant you the freedom to express your own choked agony.
To those that inflict terror, I remind you that you shine with the purity of a thousand suns.
To those who would confine, suppress, or deny, I offer the limitless expanse of the sky.
To those who need to cut, slash, or burn, I remind you of the invincibility of Spring.
To those who cling and grasp, I promise more abundance than you could ever hold onto.
To those who vent their rage on small children, I return to you your deepest innocence.
To those who must frighten into submission, I hold you in the bosom of your original mother.
To those who cause agony to others, I give the gift of free flowing tears.
To those that deny another’s right to be, I remind you that the angels sang in celebration of you on the day of your birth.
To those who see only division and separateness, I remind you that a part is born only by bisecting a whole.
For those who have forgotten the tender mercy of a mother’s embrace, I send a gentle breeze to caress your brow.
To those who still feel somehow incomplete, I offer the perfect sanctity of this very moment.

Who said I’d surround myself with negative energy? As a ceo or world leader your responsibilities include the lives of others from 20-20 million you need to be pragmatic with how you deal with things including a strong emotional control.

Your speaking to a lofty fantasy. A glamour of how things should be not as they are. Say your friend asks you for $50k because his parents died and he can’t pay the bill. You have a net worth of 50mil. Accordingly you should pay for it if you can afford it right? Imagine 100x people now.

good job hoarding your wealth like a dragon. Instead of helping the friend make the 50k and help him on its path all you think about is "handouts". not even including the fact that there could just be better paying jobs.

Don't ever forget the reason crypto started. Bank bailouts and rich filthy pigs that hoard a ton of money. Dont you ever forget that. You say "poetic justice" I say the fucking reason crypto exists and the thing we should strife for. not returning to this tyrannic capitalistic shithole world we live in.

It's not the money that has the effect. They can afford to have their true nature come out now that they no longer have to be subservient to a boss who has probably been abusive to them for a very long time. Now that they can afford it, however, they can have a catharsis and take glee in their newfound power to retaliate against everyone they hate and everyone who has had the nerve to exert dominance over them.

Since you have been too stupid to deduce this on your own: I would suggest that you strike yourself in the face with a lead pipe.
