Degen

Most people today have food, clean water, shelter, medicine, transportation, and access to information. Even the poorest among us live better than the richest kings ever did.

So here’s the reminder:

Don’t chase more thinking it’ll make you happy.

If you’re unhappy, it’s not because you don’t have enough — it’s because you’ve forgotten how much you already have.

No one needs to be rich to enjoy life.
You’re already living in extreme wealth by historical standards.

Stop comparing. Start appreciating.

Stay grounded. Stay $DEGEN. Happy holidays.

What makes me unhappy is anxiety about the future and that is decoupled from what I "have". The future is an uncertain debt caused by the present with no terms sheet given in advance and a variable rate. It leads to a logical feeling that you do not have wealth you can count on.
