The haters said we *didn’t*
You can tell, I’ve been through a lot with this mug over the years. We were the recipients of befuddled bemusement and weird looks to eye rolls, sneers, and misinformed accusations.
But, every so often, an innocent question followed by a highly caffeinated answer.

Extraordinary swings in mood sometimes come out of nowhere. Or it could have been the election!
Either way, it demonstrates how we are moved by factors beyond our control, e.g. internal factors like thoughts/memories we do not choose and external factors like political/societal changes.
We like to believe ourselves to be captains of our own ships, but we’re really just along for the ride. Anyway, happy to hear that storm passed for you.

This.
Money is a tool. You have to use it (i.e. spend or donate) for it to be useful. Otherwise, it’s useless.
We’re not talking about frivolous waste. We’re talking about quality of life, like you said. Don’t defer gratification so far into the future that you don’t enjoy some of your gains. I don’t know when that is for you or anyone else. It is a personal choice. So learn what’s important you and prioritize that.

It’s okay to talk about bitcoin. It’s not okay to talk about YOUR bitcoin.
I owe so much to Andreas Antonopoulos for my education.
Nothing to do with bitcoin’s price action.
Everything to do with Bitcoin’s ethos.
Deep gratitude.
For a long time, through many cycles, I positioned my asset allocation conservatively. Of course, I had conviction but, my investment philosophy is such that I’d never make a bet which, upon losing, would force me to give up my seat at the table.
The question I’ve always asked myself is, “What if I’m wrong?”
I woke up this morning and asked myself a different question, “What if I’m right?”

It’s pretty funny how you present your opinions so confidently, as if you were stating facts.
Being so uncompromising only impresses people who are easily led and easily influenced. People who don’t know better.

Awesome. Will watch next week.
Would you describe the quality of your sleep lately as “below average”?
Are you on Twitter?
Answering Yes to both of these questions would probably explain it.
“From time to time”
As in, once a month, once a year, or every few years, or once in a decade?
If once a month, depending on the severity (and what you’re describing does sound intense), you may consider talking to a professional. Inexplicable “impending doom” that you feel “all day” is not typical. A qualified therapist could help to identify the source of this feeling, or if there’s a pattern that triggers it. If you keep a journal, that can help, too.
Take care.
I would LOVE to listen to a conversation between you two.
This plot fits a lot of your questions. The protagonist is not the fiercest, strongest, smartest, or most flawless. As soon as we meet him, we see that he makes mistakes in action and in judgement. He violates his own oft-repeated rules. He struggles.
Spoiler alert, the story arc ends with him admitting that he’s NOT special. He’s actually just one of us.
