ive been feeling this way for way too long now. Ever since graduating from high school to be honest, as im naturally quite autistic and keep to myself so didnt really socialize in college. Poured myself into crypto, thinking money was the answer and got lucky enough to "make it and keep it" last cycle, but Im as miserable as ever. I know what I need to do, force myself out of this loop, but simply don't have the energy to do so anymore
Hey mate I wont presume to know youβre situation but from what it sounds like is youβve already made it; in fact maybe a little early. I can only write about my own experiences but you are now in a unique position. If you truly made it in the market through savvy rather than luck then the next run should be a relative cakewalk. However i know a few other traders who also made it too young. something iβm finding true in my own journey is that if youβve done enough serving yourself, maybe its time to start serving others. It would be good to start a completely new challenge, however in your own field of expertise crypto as youβd be starting out at the bottom anywhere else and would hate it. Maybe think of starting a stack like we did and write. I guarantee trading markets and writing interesting things about them are two different challenges. Or maybe if youβre thinking long term and have enough money, start a prop shop. Train up new people(which is a mountain in of itself) and surround yourself with the best of them, giving them small capital accounts as you watch them grow and hit the next bull market together. I think enriching others and getting them to get off their bottoms will be twice as difficult as anything youβve done but I think youβre soul will be twice as nourished watching other people succeed under you. Hope you find the way. :)
Same for me. I graduated from high school more than 20 years and struggled with different addictions since then (alcohol, video games, buying stuff, etc.) to endure my meaningless existence. Somehow I got a PhD, a job, wife and children in the meantime but still struggle within.
Like I mentioned above with crypto priest. From what im reading your life seems like top notch quality. Of course I dont know your situation personally and wont lecture you. You seem like an overachiever and a purpose driven one at that. Im not in academia but I have two bachelors and it does take a mental toll. But like I said with priest, iβm finding that writing is a huge help. It not only allows me to grow a side business but also allows me to work things but also helps me connect to people like yourself. I wont say to start again in another industry. But it could be worth starting your own stack and writing about things and passions related to your field. You might even find other writers with more expertise or become a thought leader in the space here. Youβll get to talk with like minded professionals as well and hopefully put some extra change in your pocket. Imo writing has been a huge boost for me as I have complete ownership of what I do. Maybe give it a go, see if it clicks mate :)
From the outside it definitely looks like I am an overachiever but I know that I mainly put just the minimal effort into things I am doing. I am also drifting through life without any goals because I just don't care enough. My field of work is also very boring. I would have to force myself to write anything about it. I am more interested in politics and societal decline but there are already enough Cassandras on the web.

Have a look into L-Tyrosine
Apathy seems to be my second name. Looking forward to your solution.

Mate your articles are always on point. Always a blast going through the small things you mention and seeing how I can implement them in my work :)
Great read! Absolutely can relate.
I need the second part, asap.
