I noticed this post sort of late. I guess I have a different perspective from most people here because I'm in my 60s. I spent a good chunk of my life working hard for financial security, and to build a career doing something that I found meaningful. For me, that meant being a lawyer who defended people accused of committing crimes. I believed in stuff like the US constitution's Bill Of Rights. I got jaded by the system, by my clients, and by my country. Still, I feel as though I did some good and prevented some injustice. I did well financially and am fortunate to have what I need. I never got much joy out of spending lots of money on luxuries anyway. I discovered bitcoin at the end of my career. I have always been ambitious, so it's nice to keep score, but I know in my heart I won't spend much of it even if the price goes stupid high. I'll leave it to my family and give to charities that mean something to me. I started doing that before I discovered bitcoin. I enjoy the daily ups and downs. It's no small matter to find something that can provide material benefits for your loved ones while making the world a better place.
