God doesn't talk back. It's a demon immitating him.

>>56589246
how much do you need to make it and how will you spend those days, anon?

>>56589287
>how will you spend those days
i meant in general, considering the people around you will still be working weekdays and all

>>56589246
comfy、 quit the gay depression shit tho

>>56589281
one sided conversations exist anon, only listening is one of those

>>56589281
naw, God has gotten me through some pretty fucked up time. It wasn't a demon.

>>56589287
>>56589299
I would probably quit my job around 2m and a purchased home. I'd hopefully spend my days focusing on music. I already spend a lot of time on it. Though to be honest, I will need to find other outlets to make myself busy since music can only take up so much time, unless things do take off.

>>56589314
>quit the gay depression shit tho

I generally keep it to myself and try to ignore it. It's hard not to fall into it. I hear you though. At the end of the day, I need to man the fuck up.

I'm a 30 year old boomer who used to code for a living but quit my job in 2020 to become an indie game dev. 60% of my net worth is in LINK ($273K). I lift weights every other day, have all but quit porn, and get 8 hours of sleep every night. I have goals of making a name for myself as an indie game dev, partially for the money and partially because of the innate need to create something great that leaves a legacy. I was depressed due to being isolated but things have improved. I find the current dating environment nonexistent (I am now officially a wizard). My hope is that if I can make something of myself as an indie game dev, I can plug into a community and meet friends and qt3.14s. On my low days I feel like killing myself, on my high days, I feel everything is going to be okay and feel excited for the future. For the most part, I'm optimistic that I will be able to exit purgatory soon.

I've recently had a spiritual awakening of sorts and have started attending church more often because of my faith in God and also to find a community. Ironically, I find that the more spiritual I become the less I care about money. At some point I'd like to maintain a more consistent conversation with Him, regardless of wether I'm going through good times or bad.

Anyways, that's me. What about you?

>>56589246
do americans really?

330k and he wants to kill himself lmaooo

i have 300 dollars in link and feel bretty good

i make 80 dollars a week in my country.

op you already made it. get a fcuking grip///

>>56589246
Very similar boat, also 32 year old boomer, but will be 33 in a few weeks.I have 32k LINK which works out to $400k in LINK but also have a 64 ETH stack and some shit coins. Crypto is 99% of my NW as well. I am a doctor who makes very good money in the US, but just finished residency few months ago, so have only been earning good money for like 3 months (I bought all my LINK in 2017 with student loans ).

I am married and have been for 7 years, I just had a son 2 months ago, and holy shit the memes are real, having a child changes everything. Never realized I could care for or love something so much. Still get depressed though, my dad has terminal frontal dementia and will die soon despite being a genuinely awesome father, worst part is he knew it was coming and seeing him sink into depression while still putting on a brave face as his mind dies its very sad. Was raised Christian and want to come back to the Faith especially now that I have a child and seeing my father confront death very bravely while leaning on his Christian faith. I likewise never pray or talk to God unless I am super scared or something is going terribly wrong. I am trying to turn things around though, I just recently started donating $1200 a month to some charities and will slowly up that number as time goes on (I make a little over 500k now but still have a lot of student loans to pay off and will eventually need to get a house, but dont want to wait to start giving to charities) I need to start reading the Bible again and get my shit back on track spiritually for my son

Insanely based anon. You're making it, honestly one could argue you already have. Sorry to hear about your father, does he still know who you are given his dementia?

>>56589478
Doctor?

>>56589478
I get like ~6hrs of sleep on a night on average, goals are to raise my son into someone my dad would be proud of and show more love to my wife, find a church etc. Dont think I will ever quit being a doctor, I enjoy it quite a bit but would cut down on hours I guess at some point. I would like to spend more time doing things I enjoy like reading and maybe write something someday other people want to read. I think biggest thing for me is to not get sucked into the lure of prestige and stop grinding anymore than I should and just enjoy my new family and things that actually matter

>>56589563
Thanks man, he can't understand words or speak but he recognizes me for now, God did answer a prayer and kept his mind intact long enough to basically understand that he is now a grandpa which I know he has been praying about since forever so that was a huge undeserved blessing for me. I still waste too much time on porn and frivolous shit, but wife and I both frugal so if I can kick the porn habit I think that will be huge

>>56589246
>>56589365
similar boat anon. 33 and wanting to pursue a number of musical endeavors once i can quit the 9-5 grind. i've got 2 young kids so as much as i want to be focusing on music in my spare time, i just don't have the energy by the time the kids are in bed.

i was a dj in my early 20s and have an audio engineering degree but i took the 'safe' route of a stable 9-5 in order to ensure i can provide for my family. all i dream about is being able to focus on music and audio full time again though, without having to worry about where my next pay cheque is coming from.

>>56589246
Pretty much same except my passion is launching a successful business. I've failed a few times but I'll keep trying. God bless Link, I've done what I can to push it.

I'm probably going to kill myself this week, my friend gave me money to pay my bills but I didn't tell him I actually asked the money so I could buy a gun and shoot myself.
I'm riddled with fucking cancer and it's eating me alive literally, feels like I'm being stabbed everywhere in my body.
Enjoy your life while you have it 70% or more of you fags would complain with hundreds of thousands and perfect health.
Think about how much of your life you spend complaining about having a nice life.

>>56590687
fuck you! also sorry you were dealt those cards.

just sold all my non staked link

>>56590693
It's all good, I used to pray for success, then just short term wealth, I got a taste of both, but I'd rather have my health back, you don't get it back you just get to a physical state where being alive is unbearable and nothing would help.
I told myself I'd wait to kill myself till I got here, but I'm here now.

>>56590706
are you the anon with cancer in the spine/neck/brain?

>>56590742
Not confirmed in the neck/brain but yes spine, likely it's metastasized from the rapid decline and extreme pain in my throat/neck/head and nystagmus happening nearly daily.
Pretty sure it's in my groin as well now.

>>56590761
wouldn't you rather OD on ketamine or something less violent than shooting yourself? man i hope i never have to go through any of that.

I've tried music, lifting, martial arts, writing, etc. and I can't seem to find anything that sticks. 32 years old here and my NW finally went above $1MM again recently after having lose a couple MM last bull cycle and not realizing any gains. I would like to use some wealth to fund an indie game idea but I don't want to risk it all on something that doesn't pan out. Hope it works out for every single anon in this thread.

>>56589365
Davis was a false prophet. Trying to reconstruct the temple is a huge sin

>>56590687
If you kill yourself you will go to hell. Find a Traditional Catholic chapel near your location and repent of your sins so you can spend the last days of your life in the state of grace so you can go heaven.

You must deny yourself and take up your cross for Christ' sake.

>>56590806
sure, hope it works out. I wish we could figure out something.

>>56589246
Sorry I stopped reading after LINK. It's not that I'm not also a 32 year old linkie, it's just that I lost focus and couldn't read anymore.

>>56590814
i don't know man, you think God is THAT arbitrary?

>>56590813
I've really been a burden on enough people and is a large part of why I'm choosing suicide, helping me isn't a good investment but I do appreciate your guys sentiment because I know you mean it.
I'm okay with it, I was just waiting for the pain to really set in, cancer is/was typically painless up until this last year and it became a rapid decline.

>>56590687
Have you tried dog dewormer?

>>56590814
Oh anon, we're in hell.

You should all end your lives

>>56590824
God has always been extremely clear. He founded His Church (Catholic), if were outside of Noahs ark you died, if you die outside the Church you cannot be saved.

The apostle Paul tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling so we don't become presumptuous and remain humble.

All the anons supporting anon to kill himself are also guilty of grave sin.

Belief in Christ refers to obedience to all that pertains to Christ. Christ says unless we do His fathers will we cannot enter heaven, and unless we are baptised as well. Non-catholics always cherry pick and twist scripture to fit their false doctrines. The early Fathers were extremely Catholic, this is obvious from their writings.

>>56590964
Heh, shoot me?
I know you want to help and me 6 months ago would snatch that opprotunity up, but I'm pretty hopeless, I don't see how improving my situation helps, it just keeps me wanting to stay here a little while longer, and eventually be asking for more.
I'm quite sick of this life for a lot of reasons, including being a burden upon others, even if people don't see it that way I do.

I'm just watching tv shows while my dinner finishes cooling before I eat and sleep, it's about all I do anymore which is pathetic in it's own right.

>>56590964
The idea of asking people who have helped me before to help me again, and again has withered my soul down while I'm too sick to even enjoy anything let alone afford to live and rest, it's become a very hopeless cycle, if I wasn't in such severe pain having hope did a lot to provide me relief but that's been stripped from me metaphorically and physically so I don't want people losing anything over someone like myself, I'm ignoring certain people here because their interests are selfish, I've been proselytized enough.

Start publishing music and get involved in the local scene now. At least go to shows on the weekends. You'll meet people, make aquaintances, and start playing shows to build a base and go from there. When you have purpose, its easy to be yourself around anyone. It'll evolve your skills because it matters more. You're doing it for the right reasons, pursue that. ygmi

Anon with cancer please don’t kill yourself.

OP thank you for sharing, I really thought doing what you’re doing now would make me happy long term and consistently. It’s actually eerie how similar I am thinking, though I am 23 with far less NW in LINK. What do you think keeps you depressed? Maybe you’re repressing your true self still, have you explored what that might be? Introspection and mushrooms help.

>>56591246
Ideally my body would do it for me in my sleep, to which I'm going to, I doubt I'll respond anymore so I'll just say see you fags on the otherside

Hey Anon. I'm the same. I have toured helping with large DJ acts and pursuing the DJ career myself. I know how to produce but all my stuff sounds like shit compared to the people I have been around. Link is my only hope to buy me time to keep at it. We can do this

>>56590964
I'm usually too sick now to post much, inevitably if I don't get the guts to kill myself I'll have to ask a friend to help me again, to which I don't want to burden the man or people who have helped me before.
If you can I owe around 900 in bills if I could pay those at least I won't have to ask him, he's endured enough of my bullshit and life in itself.
I would rather just shoot myself so don't feel compelled in anyway, but if you do wish to help here's a throwaway eth address https://etherscan.io/address/0x17Dfef64202d6991fb77b2D9344cbaC061B345bb

Dont kill yourself anon. You can beat cancer, you just have to believe you can. There are ways to starve the cancer cells and stop them from multiplying. Extended fasting and Low / zero carb or carnivore diet is the way. Please look into this on youtube, follow Robert Lustigs work. Nutrition is the key to beating cancer.

>how did even technical people fall for link

Well you could think about it a bit more. Not everything about link and its community might be false.

Imagine what a promising technology and its investors would look like, hypothetically. Would it look very different from what link and its investors look like?
Yes, there would be cultist-like vibes from people that don't really understand the tech, and follow the ones who seem to know what they are talking about.
But wouldn't there be people who presumably should understand the tech, and do really understand the technology, and do really support it, and do really hold bags of it? Aren't they the technical people you are talking about?
Look at how they talk, what they speak about. These are not stupid people. Maybe they didn't fall for anything, but decided that it's a good investment opportunity.

.. or whatever. maybe they're all shills. maybe I am, too. maybe fuck you and fuck your mother

>>56589246
I feel you, anon. Have lived through some of the things you talk about in the post, including a dream, through fulfillment of which I would presumably get out of isolation.
Are you doing anything to achieve your dream and/or get out of the isolation? Wouldn't it be easier to straight out go and find a community?
Are you sober? Do you have any emotional crutches?

I got into therapy in the beginning of this year with a situation very similar to yours, and found out that giving up the dream and pursuing my needs leads to a place where you can feel better about yourself, so that you can do the things you love, and thus achieve your dreams, which may get a little bit more grounded in reality. Had to reassess my values, get sober, and go through a bout a depression because of my giving up the crutches that helped me to not die while pursuing a dream and not fulfilling my needs. But it's genuinely better on the other side, and at least I don't feel depressed anymore, though it's still a battle.

Not saying that all of my shit must apply to you. But maybe some of it does.

t. 27 year old dude who codes for a living, 75% of net worth is in LINK ($500k). Got sober and out of a depression a couple of months ago. Now I excercise with a kettlebell and meditate every day, and life kinda feels good when I do that. Thinking of marrying my gf and getting out of my shithole country in a couple of years. Also I'm working on a pet project that's powered by crypto and chainlink and it's pretty cool. Haven't been this enthused about a project in forever.

I'm a 29 year old who works in cyber security. I make around 350k salaried and live in the Appalachians on some acreage. Most of my networth is in cash and properties.

I hang out with my dog, train, do some rock climbing, hiking/backpacking, travel, visit coffee shops around the area, and take care of my mom. I retired my granny and now I'm working to build my mom a house too. If I make it on LINK my life won't really change, I just look forward to being even more selective with employers.

I'm a 6'2" white Chad looking for a wife. I'm very optimistic about myself, but women have let me down a lot. Lost a 6 year relationship due to her depression and another 2 year relationship because she was a psycho whore.

I understand where you’re coming from, but you should be with God in both good times and bad. Prayer doesn’t necessarily need to be you coming for help only when you need it. In fact, it’s much harder to pray and perhaps more meaningful when you come to Him when you don’t need anything at all. Just to be in His presence and worship
