I love how developers, who were early ETH or BTC adopters, leverage that financial freedom to work on cool innovative ideas, rather than buying lambos and running around throwing cash at strippers (you put cash in their underwear, not throw at them!).

When a human crosses that boundary of being dependent on money to feed himself and to have a roof over his head, he can start thinking about deeper things, forgetting about greed - which is also a test for everyone. And that is one of the cool things I find about the speculative aspect of crypto. It’s a risky tool, given to everybody, which allows one to jump over that social lift which would otherwise be close to impossible. But it’s up to you how you use that advantage once you succeed in the speculative game.

Read, learn, try to get a deeper level of understanding of things. It gets really interesting yet complicated with every word you read. But then you will become a value-capture tool by yourself, and that can be transposed into many different things later on. After all, there is no more profitable investment than investing in yourself.

Most of us came here by first hearing about the crazy ROI, that’s fine. But is that your ultimate goal?
💸 I am here for ROI, I hardly care about substance in this particular space (perhaps you believe in VR more)
💰 I am here for ROI, I hardly care about substance in general (just want lambo and moon)
💡 I came here for ROI, but I am trying to understand and create value as I move on
⚙️ I came here for the tech, but I am now also involved in the ROI game
🛠 I was always here just for the tech, never cared about ROI (Andre, I made this button for you - gonna be 1 vote only I guess)

PS: I like to think I am option 3: 💡
