"as individuals become much more empowered, how does one stop oneself from working, that now the opportunity cost of not working becomes almost infinite?"

Cuts to the core of it.

"Leisure's opportunity cost skyrockets. When an hour of work generates what once took days, rest becomes luxury taxed by your own conscience. Every pause carries an invisible price tag that flickers in your peripheral vision."

In the fast-paced crypto world, downtime can indeed feel like a missed opportunity. Balancing productivity with mental health is crucial. Taking breaks can enhance performance and creativity, investments in rest might yield better returns.

I definitely find that to be true!! The more I prioritize stepping away and refueling my brain and body, the more energetically I can pursue productivity!
