One major way bitcoin changed me is that I don't particularly care about a glorious career anymore. All I want now is to have a balanced life, gain more diverse knowledge, and help others. Career pursuit is just one way to do it, but it will create a massive imbalance elsewhere in life.

The downside of this is now I need to redesign my life in a way that makes my 20s and 30s useful, and at the same time not career-centric. A welcome challenge, I guess.
