Welcome to the BUDS/Ranger School of Finance. Not everybody's cut out for it, which is why the rewards are so high for those who make it through. It's not abusive just because you can't hang. Survival is part of the test.

Not at all. Having a few years in at a crypto company might actually be worth more than the GS credential soon. Send in your app.

The only way to "make it" LT through IB/PE is being a psychopath or have a strong *real* network. Nevertheless, I can conceive it's cooler to be a burnt-out a-hole with no (real) friends or family that worked at GS or other life depriving company than just be random happy person

Going to GS or similar place because others are going is not smart! There is whole lot of interesting stuff taking place without this abuse.

The first rule of Survival in any situation is Protection. That's before water and food. The second rule is Hope and this was abused. Understanding Survival is Understanding Immutable Truth. Bitcoin BTC is just another tool that provides Immutable Truth.
