This discussion needs more exposure because it is hammering the nail hard in the head.
I have come to both conclusions on my own too... Is it better to live in competition to avoid thinking... Or... Is it better to derive joy form external factors: family, craft, nature.
I have no good answer but love where the discussion is going.
Sure. I can hand you a handful of USB sticks about 20 paper wallets maybe a hard disk or two...and tell you, here are my keys. Now what you do? Do you put down your gun and start verifying which one is with actual funds or, do you know what is a usb drive and what is a hw wallet? Are you gonna ask me for my password too. How do you know you actually stole something worthwhile? How do you know I am not going to be faster transferring the coins to different wallets?
All these brilliant minds working for so long and accomplishing so much... Just for a clap and cheer, yet tommorow they have to do it all again in the rat race.
Yet cryptokings are basking in glory for a lifetime.
Well if you take a look at the project managers in for example... Accenture.. Most of them have none of the skill you mentioned. They just have been at the right place at the right time... They know what ass to kiss and go along their days happily double clicking on the internet and overselling government it projects....
Alot of the same can be said about many startup ceos.
Just take a look at all the crypto startups that made millions in 2017-2018
Rich people dont work so much... They just make so much money sitting around with other rich people they might as well call it work...
If you work in wall-mart your lunch is not paid. If you are the CEO of wall-mart you can expense a 2000 USD lunch and call it a buissness meeting.
If your job is number collection (realestate, banking, etc ) it is an addiction just like hoarding, the more you do it the more bigger number you want.
We should start shaming people for hoarding money just like we shame the poor for collecting toilet paper.
Working 12 hours as a CEO is not comparable to 12 hours shift in the factory.
