 I hate when people don't genuinely root for others to succeed.

It's because others' success makes you look in the mirror and feel worse about your own accomplishment by comparison.

One person's success DOES NOT decrease your ability to have success. Leave that scarcity mindset and enter the world of abundance.

I cut people like this out of my life.
1+1=3+ with my friends.
We're all going to win 
 growth mindset and abundance 
 best way

 Nothing to do with your note, but what are the chances that in the past year or so you posted on twitter about personally liquidating an ira? 
I’m pretty sure it was your post I saw.  In any case, that post spurred me to look into it and I learned I was able to liquidate all of the contributions to my Roth without a taxable event. I did so and used it all to buy btc. 
So, if you do remember mentioning that on twitter, I owe you thanks, because I’m incredibly happy to have made that decision. 
Cheers! 
 my loss is your gain!

I did that at 60k in 2021 and it dropped to 28k literally a week later.

glad you timed it better 🤝 
 How did you do it? 
 Envy is a helluva trip, it looks good on nobody 
 Imagine all wine businesses fail, and yours is the only one operating.  
 Off topic….How did that auction go you were doing? I got off twitter before it was over. 
 The number sign in being a total loser is rooting for people to lose and hating winners

 There’s levels to this.

There’s the garden variety “crabs in a bucket” mentality that probably most people have.

Then there’s the next level of engineered dependence that is practiced commonly in corporate America and other such fiefdoms.

When you’re the type of person attracted to bitcoin it’s quite jarring. You discover there are many people that thrive from actively sabotaging subordinates/peers just so they can engineer opportunities to plagiarize, seek rent and extract value. You’re genuinely taken aback because you don’t understand why someone would want to make the world worse off in this petty way.

Thank god for bitcoin. 
 I think that a lot of people turn to wine as a way to enhance the good times. celebrations good meals with friends. The world is still pretty great
