Work vs Loss
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what God made for fun.
And what did God make for fun that men start losing their minds over
First women.
Then crypto.
The greatest crime Crypto ever committed was convincing a bunch of ambitious young men that "Locking In" and being "In the Trenches" is actual work.
It's not work. It's fun. It's a hobby.
Going to the casino isn't work.
Sitting on Twitter shit posting, clicking buttons and hoping to turn $100 into six figures while repeatedly losing it all.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Is hilarious.
It's not dedication, it's not work. It's trolling.
Crypto culture has stained the very idea of what hard work actually looks like.
Is buying shitcoins that might 100x funny? Yes.
Is it a good laugh? Yes.
But 99.99% of the young men "locking in" are just scrolling Twitter, talking in Telegram groups, clicking buttons and making a devastating conflation.
They have confused the pain of losing money over and over with the pain of work.
Work is hard and losing money is hard, so losing money must be work.
But they confuse the two as interchangeable.
Let me make it clear.
Losing money sucks.
But it's not work.
Because WORK creates something new for the world or for yourself.
When you feel the suck of WORK, you gain something.
Whether it's money or muscle, you GAIN for your suck.
But when you feel the suck of LOSS, you simply lose.
Crypto coins are hilarious.
I am a troll, I love trolling and the fact I can move markets with a click is super entertaining. If you were me, you'd do it too.
But my core message to all young men will always be the same.
Knuckle down, grind out and accept life's always going to suck.
But if you choose the right kind of suck you can matter and become a somebody.
You can GET something from the suck.
That's all life is ever going to be as a man. Suck.
There's no easy way out.
There's no shortcut home.
And if you work hard enough, you can take a risk on a gamble, why not.
And if it pays off, great!
And if it doesn't, who cares.
It wasn't designed to be taken seriously anyway, it was designed for fun.
Only work is designed to be taken seriously.
Work is constant and forever.
Do not conflate work with loss.
And when you understand, when you've finally decided to do ACTUAL work.
You can begin turning your life into something great here:
