main reason younglings r bad at investing is b/c "everything is about sex except sex". the time horizons for groups of friends is usually on the order of a few years. E.g. 4-ish for college, highschool, jobs, etc... the time horizons are too small.

Given a choice, the best investment is to invest in "Self". What that means specifically is do whatever it takes to be able to think for yourself with courage. The erect dick may be brave, but that's just b/c it doesn't actually think all that much.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1346861300027068417 …

the only *valid* reason to invest in crypto is a true belief in what it can do for the world because that helps dampen the effects of volatility and social pressure on the ego.

This "belief" is not just short-term virtue signaling "down w/ the system! but also wanna have sex? me potentially rich in future but am also like motorbike vagabond sexy risk-taking wanderer bad-boy anti-hero"

It's more of a willingness to go down with the ship. Much like having a child, adopting a pet, or investing in a startup or kickstarter. You have to be willing to never get the principal back and sink good after bad to fully realize the value.

This leads to YOLO-ing on things because they're afraid of being left behind in a shitty 996 system while their friends rocket ship to wealth and show-off everyday on social media.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system …

If the YOLO play doesn't work out there's very high danger of suicide depending on your social net. If you're the only child on who multiple generations have placed their hopes and dreams...then...you end up like my friend. ded.

Not that I understand of course. Cats are one the few animals capable of willingly starving themselves to death and will do so for such petty reasons as "this kibble tastes bad."
