My net worth is down 50%+
Wow, the markets are crazy, huh?
My net worth is down over 50%+, yet I feel the same. I wake up and do what I do. Nothing around me is different.
I feel like I'm supposed to feel something, but I don't.
That's what it's like to have the Bitcoin Epiphany, where you have seen the light and have confirmed your thesis with hours of intense study, thinking, dreaming, and subconscious meandering. Five years out at least, and ten or more. I'm thinking about history and how this stuff has happened and will keep happening. And I'm reminding myself that numbers on a screen are just numbers on a screen.
So I keep buying bitcoin (only) daily and buy a bit more because I'm buying for my sons and not myself. I'm buying for their future, their children's future, and so on.
I also live life since that's the entire point.
I heard someone answer the question, "What's the meaning of life?" like this:
To enjoy the passage of time.
Brilliant.
It doesn't matter what you have, what you have now, or what you will have in the future all that much. It matters what you do with your time now. Are you wasting away the only thing that matters, worrying about the past or future, or are you living in the now?
We are all so lucky to be alive right now. Most of humanity is long gone, and many lived through immense suffering to create the future we now enjoy.
I need to reiterate one final point on health. Your health is the only thing you truly own. If it is a liability, you don't hold it, threatening your time. So prioritize health because you're not getting it back once it's gone.
