I feel both.
I've been stacking for almost seven yeary... not an easy ride to persevere when others think you're foolish. I was competing against myself, the discipline of hitting a target that might become generational wealth for the children that we're raising and home educating.
I also think a lot about those "sats per person" websites showing a fair allocation of something like 250,000 sats. I set up a separate wallet and keep list of names for whom I am acting as a anonymous custodian, to gift them their satscap in future when such an allocation might make a big difference, and when they finally get why it matters.
