Yeah, the 2021+ people are def different than 2017 and earlier, in a lot of negative ways
Yeah, it’s because class of 2021 is still waiting for the validation that the aggressive allocation for the last 3-4 years was worth it. Every other bitcoiner class has gotten that windfall experience…where they’re free and clear of their cost basis by an order of magnitude (or more). We’re about 6 months post halving…class of 2021 should be a lot less anxious after the rip. Other hobbies? Golf. That’s about it.
Yeah, looking back that makes sense. I was definitely grinding overtime and stacking my ass off for a good 3ish years back in the day. I kinda forgot about all that I guess. Golf was something I always wanted to get into outside of the driving range which I went to just when my buddies back in the day wanted to. I was always bad though, but not because I hate golf, I just never got into it in a meaningful way.
The cool thing about golf is that the embedded creativity and optionality means you never master it, even if you play your best round. There is always a shot you could have done differently, played the wind differently, hit a putt differently, chose iron instead of driver off the tee. And you play against yourself - other people too, sure - but mostly against yourself. Because expectations can widely vary depending on who you are, what your life experience has been, and your level of play - you playing bogey golf might be the equivalent to a PGA tour professional making the cut. Winning a club championship could feel like winning the Masters. Shooting over 100 might feel like Tiger Woods missing a cut. That damned, little white ball.
