Shitcoins made me entertain the dangerous and stupid idea that I can be free of having to work for a living. I was constantly hoping that one day, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next bull run, would be that day, or perhaps this shitcoin or that other shiny one would be my vehicle for financial “freedom.”

I see now that this is not a way to live in the long term. It's been a massive tax on my ability to use my mind for more productive and rational activities. It turned me into a slave of shitcoin promoters, in the same way, social media enslave us by highjacking our valuable time. (I always say that had social media existed in the early 2000s, I'd never had the time and sustained attention required to learn to swim or read classics.)

Now, tip me. 😅
