 The only major change in my perspective since I realized the shitcoins were all just a giant sham, has been that I no longer feel this urgent need to stop everyone else from doing dumb shit.

I used to feel this sense of obligation, that somehow I was supposed to fix everyone’s stupid. Then I realized what a fucking absurd notion that was. Not only is that battle literally infinite, but going in like you are going to “fix it” doesn’t even seem to work as a strategy. 

Now I just look, shrug, tell them my point of view and why I don’t play stupid games, and then I go about my merry way. Not only is it 100x easier and less stressful, it also seems to work better. nostr:note170wkmwnuefxw3hx378n2yr3wzvtvqr2hexukwgcjqw8cv4ragdpqc242d9 
 Bees do not spend time explaining to flys that honey is better than shit. 
 Good stuff. Fear not the shitcoin! 
 I love this take 
 Well said!

There are times in my life where someone's advice convinced me to not make a bad decision. There are other times where no amount of talking was going to change my mind. I needed to fuck up to realize why I was wrong. 
 Feel the same! 🚀 
 💯  the same here.  I will tell you that you're stupid but then leave you alone with your stupidity now.   😂  
 I believe in the fundamental right to make mistakes! Information is out there and accessible, we just have to take responsibility for our lives, and that requires humility and a desire to always keep learning 🙂 
 In anything in life, you can't help people who don't want help.

 The right approach, I think

 Fortunately, you fixed my stupid already.
