I already made a million bucks in crypto. Still hoping to make a lot more in the future but here's the thing. I bought nothing new, spent no money, did nothing different.

The difference is I like the feeling of being rich knowing no one knows about it.

Anyone with same feels?

Money represents opportunities to make your life better, it doesn't magically make your life better in and by itself. Unlike what a lot of people on biz seem to think, playing vidya, fucking whores and smoking weed gets old for most people after a couple of months/years. Most people need something to be passionate about in life. For some people it's their career, for some people it's sports, for some people it's their family, for some people it's starting a business etc. Figure out what you want your life to be like in 10 years and work towards that goal. If you're still in your early twenties and don't have a degree you should at least consider studying something that genuinely interests you.

People really don't realize the dangers of letting people know they have a lot of money. I'm sure some crypto kids are going to flash and boast among their friends and inevitablly somone close to them or a friend of a friend will decide to kidnap and stick a gun to their head until they move some btc to their account. This is just one of the risks. Lots of issues with family expecting handouts etc and false friends. Only weak people need to boast of wealth.

Fully agree and am on it already. I'm 40 years old but I always wanted to study film so am gonna maybe do a documentary making course. Still working on increasing my stack now though. I can fund a few docs in the future hopefully. Money id definitely for doing something useful with your life.

Most of the kids who make money don't understand that in a decade your life wont be about smoking weed vidya games and hanging out with buddies. That culture ends with your 20's and if its doesn't then those people will be losers/drug addict welfare cases.

I guess my point is materialism doesn't interest me much. A nicer home is about all I would like in that area and im not that bothered by that either.

It's a great haul anon and you have done well, but to live a rich lifestyle and enjoy all the things you thought rich people do you will either need more like 30 million in lump or the ability to otherwise earn millions every year.

The problem with one million dollars in valuable, trusted fiat currency is you still can't afford to spend it on lavishness. The anons here who think they can make it with one million merely intend to continue living extremely frugally whilst not having to work.

You can delete a huge amount of pressure by just being able to own a modest home outright and do some more enjoyable things with your normal income rather than just working for survival, but you can't really live as a king.

I have been doing meditation and yoga for years and now I have reached a stage where I feel like I am the king of my world, and this world is my world. The feel is incomparable. Eventhough one can go much much deeper.

I am not larping. When your sahasrar or Crown Chakra is activated, only then you can truly feel and actually become a king. The crown that kings used to wear was inspired from the crown Chakra.

Many intellignet kings realized that such a crown was bullshit and the real crown and kingdom are within. Even Jesus tried to remind people of that. So kings even left their kingdoms - Buddha, Mahavira, and many others.

It takes effort, discipline and right guidance to get there but it's what really counts.

This is my end goal. Acquire enough financial means to ensure a comfy life and continue to hide it by simply continuing to live as I did before. I think it's the only way to be rich and stay mentally/socially healthy and sane.

Problem with flaunting and flexing is you transform your person into dollar signs for everyone who knows you're rich, from family to potential romantic partners.

If you want to make it in life after making it in finances, stay comfy and stay humble. Not saying you can't allow yourself to travel, buy nice things etc, but specifically avoid buying Veblen goods - it's a normie trap.

And when people try to pry into the state of your means, stay vague, obfuscate things and, in a friendly manner, make the person asking sound and hopefully feel like an ass for trying to data mine you about it. It's rude, after all.

Bonus tip: staying humble after making it is your best bet for finding a non-gold digger gf/waifu. They need to bond to you as a person, emotionally and physically, which takes years. If your money is all they know you have from day 1, you're gonna have issues down the line (beware marriage in this case!).

Ok I know there are some Kings still around so don't go autismo, however due to fossil fuels the average human in the First world has an equivalent of 150 energy slaves working for them ever day. Make a average salary and you are living better then the kings of old (minus the power to control people).
Humans are always going to strive for more, if money is all you are about you will never reach fulfillment in life.
