Yes. DYOR on Dopamine. If you are depressed before. You will depressed after. Your penthouse will be the new baseline and it will feel normal after a while. When that happends you will start to feel shit again.

It's years of mental abuse coming to a place that's nothing but degeneracy. Racism flourishing, hate on Jews 24/7 nonstop, objectifying women by posting nudes pictures and talking down on them.

That would take it's toll on anyone not pyschotic.

If you want to heal and find purpose in life I implore you to come join me over at reddit. This place is a dumpster fire

Quantity (objectively) does not make you happy as the human mind isn't equipped to comprehend / appreciate magnitudes. On the other hand, rate-change is everything. I've gotten dopamine highs watching a linear climb after a catastrophic loss dozens of times a week in the midst of a crab walk. Move onto harder drugs or accept this fact

I liquidated some of my portfolio a month ago to go towards a down payment on my first house. The $80k worth of coins that I cashed out would be worth almost $200k if I held it until now. I have a nice house now but I feel like I squandered my gains.

Read this OP. It's called the hedonic adaptation. Materialism will never make you happy. The only way to be happy in life is to make being content a habit. You do this by not acknowledging that you're chasing dopamine highs and doing things that actually makes you at peace, such as cooking, playing music, outdoors, and exercising. Otherwise you'll always be on schlomo's rollercoaster.

the whole point is that having a lot of money frees you up and allows you to actually pursue what interests you

the issue a lot of people here who "make it" have is that they've spent years if not decades as lazy, feckless NEETs who have done nothing but fuck around on their computers for years and their ability to break out of their comfort zone has atrophied

not to mention the strong possibility of mental illness and spending too much time consuming other blackpills from this godforsaken website; the negative feedback loop is real and you can get trapped in a doomer mindset even when you're in a better position than 99.9% of humanity

i mean, sure, maybe there are guys here who are totally fine just doing the same shit they were doing already as a NEET for the rest of their lives, and good for them, but I don't think that's the case for the majority of people

This is going to be a very small % of anons. less than $10MM and it’s not really realistic to do that. You see that number get tossed around by so many anons who have a couple million dollars, which is because they got to a couple million, did the math and realized it wasn’t actually enough. Everyone starts thinking they’ll get to $1MM or $2MM and cash out. Then they get there and realize that’s literally the worst thing you can do if you ever actually want to make it.
