gee anon what could be wrong

>>27857637
>money don't bring happiness
Yeah but gambling does

>>27857637
best of luck fren, stay stronk

>>27857888
Sort of this. I’m not religious at all, but I think they got the whole doing services for others right. Stop chasing your own happiness and start living to serve your fellow person. Once you are focused on helping the world I think happiness finds you or maybe not. It might just be a simple thing is stop chasing happiness, accept whatever feelings flow through you and then do things on a whim. Stop chasing highs it’ll never be enough

>>27857888
Kids are not my priority and I don't want any.
If kids will bring you happiness, go for it anon, making money will be secondary.

>>27857637
Yeah okay faggot, how bout you give me some money. 99% sure I'll be happy once I can afford to live in a goddamn house instead of rentslaving my life away.

>>27858484
You won’t be happy. You’ll just be less stressed and less miserable. Money is definitely a start

>>27858484
I felt the same way you feel anon, I used to share a house with 3 more people because that's all I could afford, a small room that barely fit all of my stuff
Getting your own place will only make you happy for a while, if something eats you inside, it won't go away.
I was dead sure money will make me feel better

>>27858804
Anon, I think that's you projecting.

>>27857637
It may not bring happiness but it definitely relieves A LOT of stress caused by paying bills and basic necessities and such.all i want money for is to free up mu time so i can study, paint, draw and not worry about bills or wasting time working a shit job.

>>27858269
alright bro, keep going to therapy and try to find the gaping hole in your life with your eyes closed.
I don't expect money to bring me happiness, nor do I really care if I'm happy. Everything I do is for my family and the glory of God.

>>27859033
>all i want money for is to free up mu time so i can study, paint, draw and not worry about bills or wasting time working a shit job
I was like that too, when I reached that goal I realized gambling with my money is a lot more fun and fulfilling than following my "passion". Maybe gambling is my passion. Maybe it is yours too

>>27857637
You lack spirituality
I suggest you stop mastutbating and find out why you are here

>>27857637
Money can't bring happiness, it can only bring convenience. Remember that.

>>27859285
Came here to post this
I guarantee OP masturbates and cums inside his birth control taking thots

What's the next 10x? I'm homeless.

>>27857637
>cheated on my gf while she was nothing but loyal to me
You deserve to be unhappy for this

>>27857637
You have this hormone called testosterone running through your body
It makes you want to do things.
Not just do things, but ACCOMPLISH things.
You need to hone skills instead of travelling, and basic hedonism
The man likes being good at things. People think testosterone, and male dominance rituals only have to do with sex. That's Freudian logic, and it's ill conceived.
The drive to be a man is to create. The term "God created man in his image" has to do with this. We are creators. We are gods of our world (YOU MORE SO THAN MOST WITH YOUR WEALTH)
If you waste this chance at life wallowing in self pity you will suffer for what feels like an eternity.

>>27858269
>says he’s bored of everything
>won’t try anything new
Interesting

In the event OP isn't a LARPer, I think the best thing money can provide is the means to pursue enjoyments and hobbies that may have otherwise been impossible. Are you comfortable enough to no longer work at your job forever?
Have you tried experimenting in creative hobbies or in the creation of long term goals? Are there things you find intrinsically interesting? Maybe try lifting--the natural goal progression could be fulfilling. Or some kind of art, such as music or painting. The best way to think about it, in my opinion, is if you died tomorrow, think of what would you have regret missing out on. There are so many experiences awaiting you now that 70% of your life no longer has to be contained within the demarcations of a cubicle.

>>27857637
>built a house the way I wanted

You probably have some faggot sub-division pre-fabbed nu-age colonial revival. Face it, you have zero taste, you wouldn't know value it if fucked you in the ass, culture yourself ok?
Go to some museums, experience fine art and street art, see for yourself what people DON'T do for money. Then you will understand the value of it all. And... appreciate all the money you made that you will now spend it all away for trivial things.

>>27859235
Gambling is a passion of sorts, i cant deny i dont love watching my coins rocket or bomb. But financial freedom is one of my main goals in life and why i risk my money while also studying on my own time in a field i would love to “work” in or just do for the rest of my life for nothing. We can always be passionate for more than one thing and we should be, we should be passionate about making our own lives the best we can so we get the most out of it. You cant always be happy but you can atleast do your best to be the person you want to be and not someone youre not.

>>27859285
He's probably larping unless he was one of those guys that randomly happened to have 100+ btc lying around last cycle's peak.
If OP has so much and tried so much but is still unhappy, he's probably just imbalanced. Unfortunately psychology/psychiatry is an extremely imprecise science, so chances are there's really no help. Good luck though, thanks for the random blog post about your "shitty" situation.

I prefer masturbating over fucking my woman and I'm depressed af
I also watch degenerate porn

Post a picture of your write OP

>>27859904
I live in London mate, museums are free here, I have visited all of them, multiple times.
Then when I had money, I visited art galleries and museums across the world.
I draw, because my job was related to arts.

>>27857637
I was lost. Until i experienced combat. Now i live for it. Everything i do is done to either make me more or less efficient in conflict areas. I dont get to deploy as often as id like but the time in between drinks is full of preparation.
The only reason im here. The only reason im in crypto. Its not to stop being a "wage cuck " or anything. Its because inevitably i will be injured or age will prevent me from doing what i love and when that day comes im going to need alot of money to try and find something to fill the void.

>>27857637
> Betray the person closest to you
> Guys why am I unhappy????

You dirtied your soul. Make your only priority to tell the truth, no matter what it costs you. That’s what Christ did and He was literally God and is worshipped more than anyone else in history. Also start being a white nationalist.

Not joking everyone around me’s life is in utter chaos, and they are depressed. I used to be like them until I started telling the truth, and considering that maybe the people who lived before us were smarter than us and had something to teach us. You cripple yourself more every time you lie.

>>27860303
Well then you probably know what should do
Godspeed, anon

>>27859953
>>27859235
Come on, gambling is degenerate and makes no logical sense
If you care about money you wouldn't gamble it
And you don't care about money, you wouldn't gamble it either since getting more wouldn't excite you

>>27860863
This is the only interesting opinion itt

Thanks anon, this actually makes me wonder

You should try traveling anon.
Just get out and see the world.
Go see Beijing, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Bora Bora, Egypt, Greece, Cape Town, Munich, Rome, Venice, Istanbul, Uzbekistan.
You have the opportunity to enrich yourself with experience.
I haven’t made it yet but I’ve done a lot of travel and it is easily the most rewarding thing in the world for me.
I am not talking about going and taking selfies at the Colosseum to post on Instagram, don’t do that that’s gay. I’m talking about absorbing the history, the culture, everything the world has to offer.
I unironically believe traveling the world has raised my IQ significantly
Do it faggot.

>>27860863
Also further to this: why the fuck would anyone take your advice OP, you have all the advantages in life and still aren’t satisfied. Maybe humble yourself, faggot, before you start preaching. I’m not perfect but I’m actually happy most of the time. Some day if you actually improve you will realize you were riddled with pride at this time

>>27857637
You have money to pay for therapy now, so go do that.

>>27857637
>Since we're again close to that time when people will make fortunes
Explain.

>>27857888
>living for yourself

Not OP, but that's literally the only thing that makes me happy. I like doing what I want, when I want, how I want. Couldnt imagine some little shits and a nagging wife bothering me all the time.

>>27861522
Crypto market is the biggest it's ever been, post pandemic, stimulus incoming, and all the normies were just shown that they too can get into coins without having to buy thousands.
Nowhere to go but up.

>>27860672
I used to have the same problem as you. Sounds like the balance is off - you're too up in your head. You're dried up because your inner life is a desert. No joke, enter Jungian analysis, there are great analysts in London (go with IGAP certified and preferably Zurich trained). Your job now is to find meaning in your life. Don't sleep on it. It's actually already there, you've just lost sight of it and need someone to help you find the thread, after which it's on you to pick it up and start walking.
t. $15M folio, been in analysis for 1.5 years (started when I felt like you), now have an /out/ minimum wage job, good people in my life, healthier relations with my family and new plans coming to fruition that really excite me.

>>27857637
Sounds like you need a purpose.
You ascended beyond survival, then through success and comfort,band have become aimless after that.
All the material stuff you mention is what society tells people they want, and you never thought to question it.
Despite the options and time that wealth brings, you're still living the life you think people expect you to live.

Work out what you want. Genuinely want.
Live with integrity with those who genuinely matter, especially those who loved you before there was a good reason to (like your girlfriend).

I say this as someone in a similar situation who almost made the same mistakes but avoided them at the critical moment.

What you have is freedom from limits everyone else has to deal with. Use it wisely.

>>27861978
Thanks anon, genuinely interested in this
Any advice where to start!?
I really identify to what you're saying

>>27862524
>Work out what you want. Genuinely want.
This. Emphasis on the you.

>>27857637
No fundamentals for what life can provide. Same as 99% of biz who think the most expensive dinner alone will taste better than rationed food around a campfire with loved ones.

>>27859755
Even if you don't buy the god angle, this is 100% on point.

An achiever must achieve. To be idle is to be dead.

If I ever made money I'd immediately start focussing on building a dynasty.

Have kids. Educate them properly. Have strong social circle. Try and influence politics. Maybe even join a church. Try and earn more money or start a business.

That would give your life meaning. The individuality of today leaves people wanting. Look to history to see what is the right thing to do.

>>27862527
No prob. It's really just a question of rolling the dice. Go to https://www.igap.co.uk/find.html, look under the London tab and Google the analysts you see there. Reach out to 5 that appeal to you (either because of bio, picture, whatever, just go with what feels right) and schedule to meet, ideally in person. Some might charge for a first session. Going rate is in the region of £60 per. If the chemistry feels right, you'll know it quickly. Trust your gut - that "mmhmm" of yes vs. the "nuhuh" of no. Don't be butthurt if they turn you down - it goes both ways. Then start seeing them weekly. Stick to the schedule. Everything else will unfold from there. Engage in the process with honesty and perseverance and it will undo you exquisitely, all the while slowly rebuilding something familiar but long lost that will feel like a homecoming. Good luck.

>>27863460
And be sure to tell them that an anon called assblaster on an anonymous and racist yogurt weaving forum sent you, they'll love it.
Joking aside, there is a reason why I wrote to you tonight, and a reason why you responded. Follow it.

>>27857637
This is true. Making hundreds of dollars an hour, thousands a day trading futures brought me nothing but chaos and stress. The only things that made me happy were going to the gym, going out to do things with my daughter and discussing philosophy with people while high. Not in that order, obviously.
COVID-19 (((restrictions))) took that away and I am a husk of a shell of a man now. Greetings from Canada, where the only thing I have to look forward to is this government being toppled, hopefully.
Please put your money into wise use, and understand that it's fleeting.

>>27857637
Money is a tool for improving your families life, you don't have a family, you have a GF and are a man whore and a drug user at that, no wonder you aren't happy.

Try moving to a tropical country. Get a little sun on your skin.

Thanks anon, will look into this, fees are not an issue
I genuinely love analytical psychology and you just reminded me about that, honestly, thank you!!

>>27863855
Go easy on him. Not everyone works out how to manage wealth the same.

If he's considering hiring a life coach that another anon suggested I'd say that means he lacks good mentors or peers that also have wealth.

There will be mistakes but the point is to not make them twice.

>>27863778
I have my gym at home, it's probably the only thing that keeps me sane these days
Good luck anon, stay sane

damn some of this really hits home,
(un)fortunately i am too poor to worry about such stuff most of the time
the anxiety of not having enough money to go out with friends once a week still overshadows these problems hope someone can relate here
also working out is one of the best things. improves your life so much

Brother, may the Most High bring you peace.

Been having similar feelings. Not at your level, but worked my ass off to get into Med school. I was obsessed, every spare 10 mins I was had was looking to beef up my application. I’ll never ever forget the feeling of when I got the email for my acceptance. The song that was playing or where I was. It was an incredible feeling. I had no money or anything, and had stopped socialising for a year to give all my time to it.

I finish up Med school in 2.5 months and the fire is dead. I look back at the disciplined stoic young guy I was, and now I just have massive existentialism. I’m not at your level financially, but there soon; around 600k a prime bag bound to go at least x 10. That sense of freedom is what I craved, and now I feel like it’s completely emptied my sense of purpose in life. What would I do with that money? I have an incredible gf of 7 years, but all my fires before were based on hope and accomplishment, whereas now, I’m having a massive existential crisis within myself. There’s so many great men doing great things, and what do I want? To stop working so I can do what? Play my guitar? Go travelling and seek hedonism?

I fully get why people say money doesn’t make you happy. I honestly think some people NEED to struggle for money because it gives them purpose; it delineates their struggle mon-fri and allows them to have actual off time. I have no mentor. My father passed out of the blue a year ago and he was the greatest dad alive. I miss him so much it’s unbearable.

I don’t even know what I’m saying now

>>27857637
wtf, are you the new generation of american faggots ??

Cheated on your girlfriend. You joined the fagotmanson cult who told you were now perfect and it was OK to cheat on her didn't you?

>>27860863
But what if OP isn't white, then what anon?

You must enter the octagon

whiney, ungrateful faggot. Theres starving kids in Africa anon and you're a depressive faggot who doesn't understand materialism is a nihilistic philosophy that leads no where. Find your purpose, and use the money to get you there. God awful post btw
