I'm Getting Rich Off Cryptocurrency
I can check the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, and Steem, everyday.
I can guess if the prices will go up, or go down later that day, and I can be right a lot of the time by following the trends and feeling it out. Takes a lot of my time and attention to be sure, but I can do it.
But what does it matter if I make a bunch of money in the crypto game when I'm not even happy? It doesn't.
Money, wealth, riches, fancy cars and a big home don't mean a THING to me if I'm depressed and can't even get out of bed.
It's easy to lose sight of this. It's easy to forget that it's more fun bouncing on a trampoline with my friends than it is checking coin prices every hour.
So it's important to remember one thing: Good emotions are more important than good money.
Having said that, money is a game, and if I wanna play this game, then I gotta remain steadfast on doing what I aboslutely love!
Not what makes me the most money.
When we do what we absolutley love, we go to bed fulfilled each day. And we'll be 100x more likely to be fulfilled with our life on our deathbed in our later years.
Keep the most important thing, the most important thing: Good emotions.
Now go bounce on a trampoline.
Good going!
Upvoted. Followed.
I agree that chasing money is not a way to live a full life.
But I think there can be a balance between being self-sufficient and having the time to enjoy the intangibles that life offers, such as friends and family.
I've seen people who become too focused on "making it", where it consumes their lives and they suffer as a result. I've tried to tell them to take a break now and then, but those suggestions are usually met with reasons why chasing a dollar are more important.
I don't attempt to do that anymore, I just sigh, take a long walk and enjoy the rain falling through the trees.
totally agree!
that is why I Iove steemit and the community here.
now I will go jump on a trampoline :)
Your not the only one. Here is a bit more crypto for your riches. Have my vote :)
Exactly! we're living in a world of abundance anyways, and it makes us feel better when we congratulate the success of others!! :D When you witness the price of crypto currency drop down, know deep down that this is because many people decided to transfer their wealth! woohoo for them! :D
"Do not trade time for money." -- GREAT way to put it.
Hi Ted, i just came across your "melon post" and began reading... You really seem to have a great program going -- physicall, emotionally and financially too. Great job!
You are obviously motivated and interested in what you're doing, and pursuing your goals with a smile on your face is the right approach. I like it all!
Upvoted and followed! I feel like i just picked up a good habit ;)
Thanks!
Cheers! from @thedamus
I totally agree. There was a point where I was unhappy and I would think if I just had this Jeep that I wanted I would be happy. Well I got the Jeep then I felt the same and I thought if I just had more gas money life would be awesome. I got a better job and it turned out I had extra money for gas. Then I found myself still unhappy thinking theres nothing cool to do around where I live. In the end I lost all of the things I thought would make me happy. It seems the times I lived in the woods cooking food on a fire eating canned food felt almost the most rewarding. I learned to appreciate the little things at that point. Today I've gained a good job and some cool "things". I know to remind myself to truly enjoy these things and to appreciate what I have, not to keep seeking more.
Please get in touche with me @tedcarr.
What's up bro
Well said. The measure of wealth is money, but the measure of success is happiness.
#Secretive Cryptocurrency Hedge Fund Metastable Examined#
“There’s a Handful of, Say Between Five and 10 of These… [Cryptocurrencies]… That Could Be Trillion-Dollar Blockchains” – Joshua Seims, Metastable Co-founder."
Metastable Capital is a cryptocurrency hedge fund that has attracted investment from many top venture capital firms despite largely shunning publicity since its inception in 2014. Metastable was co-founded by Angellist CEO, Naval Ravikant, cryptography expert, Lucas Ryan, and former angel investor, Joshua Seims.
Fortune has reported that Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Union Square Venture, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Founders Fund are among Metastable’s major investors – all of whom participated in Polychain Capital’s fundraiser earlier this year.
Metastable takes a long term perspective when assessing the markets, aiming to invest in projects that it expects will be profitable over the course of at least a decade. “There’s a handful of, say between five and 10 of these major use cases that could be trillion-dollar blockchains,” Seims told Fortune. “It’s all very long-term focused, and we think we’re in super early days right now. It really comes down to which do we think is the strong enough technology, that we think can win.”
