JesusChristNinja is a good contrarian indicator for cryptos. Atm, closing in slowly on my 2nd million USD in realized gains in my crypto holdings alone since 2017, FWIW.

Well done for making your millions, I hope you'll be very happy!

I'm no expert on crypto's or investing, did you notice the question mark at the end of the sentence!

I would say there is room for them all to co-exist at least for now. So there will be big runups and rundowns.

As for money, if you pay close attention to people that have more than they need or know what to do with, they generally tend to talk a lot, are not really at ease and that is why they talk a lot, tend to claim they need more for x reasons, but they never do anything bold as in stepping out of their shadows into a new field. When pushed to change, they pull back. I am not saying everyone that has a lot acts this way, but about 90% do, they talk about doing this and doing that, but 5, 10 and 20 years later they are still doing the same crap as before. Having more money just allowed them to do a lot more crap. As always there are exceptions.

Thanks Sol, and thanks for not being defensive with an emotional attachment to crypto's!

And so true with the lots of money thing, most can never retire because they perceive they never have enough, they're cursed by their own success!

Thanks, indeed, I already am generally quite happy, whether up a million or down a million, tbh. Lots of practice the last several years and the last few months, lolol.

My lifestyle hasn't changed that much since I accumulated my first million years ago. Really, I like learning new things and improving my skills in a variety of areas - as long as I am doing that, I am quite content. The first million is the hardest to accumulate - each successive one is a bit easier, but then, each successive one is a bit easier to lose fast, as well. The pendulum swings both ways.

For me, the markets are a game - like life here on Metaverse Earth - and both are fun because they are challenging, and I like to test myself - i.e. can I be just as happy when I am up seven figures as when I am down? That sort of a thing ... and of course, learning to read sentiment, TA, Horde Psychology, etc., and then applying them in original ways.

Remember, as TIT subs we have to be ready if something untoward happens to BossJedi - whether he decides to retire from writing financial newsletters or gets struck down by food poisoning in Vietnam, TIT subs should, imo, be learning to be as independent as possible when making investing and trading decisions.

Ultimately, a TrueSifu wants her students to advance and outgrow her teachings, and find their own Ways. To become a Master one must eventually kill One, at least metaphorically.

You are right about learning to be independent with investing, I've learnt quite a lot from TI and think I could do quite well by myself but don't wish to put in all the leg work that Sol does, if he disappeared I would probably look for someone else with the same trading principles and think I have found someone interesting that I can tap into his free updates.

Happiness is a state of mind, most rich people are miserable, I have learnt to be happy like you with relatively little.

For me investing is a means to an end, not the end itself, I get enjoyment in reaching out and helping others in practical ways and of course sharing the hope that I have which can bring transformation in people's lives, probably where we differ but I do find you interesting and like to hear your opinions!

Happiness is a state of mind

Felix Dennis made a lot of money from computer magazines in the UK. His book, How to Get Rich, is pretty interesting, not least because he makes no attempt whatsoever to paint himself in a good light.

Here are a couple of excerpts about wealth & happiness from someone who has ‘made it’ financially:

So how rich do you want to be? The usual answer is “rich enough to be happy.”
But riches do not confer happiness! I have lost count of the number of friends, lovers and acquaintances I have told this to, especially when I first passed seven noughts of cash in hand. I don’t bother anymore. The incredulous look on their face is always the same. What they are really thinking is: “Well, maybe you are not happy with all that dough, Felix, but I know that I would be. Just try me!”

Am I happy? No. Or, at least, only occasionally, when I am walking in the woods alone, or deeply ensconced in
composing a difficult piece of verse, or sitting quietly with old friends over a bottle of wine. Or feeding a stray cat.
I could do all those things without wealth. So why do I not give it all away?
Because I worked too hard for it. Because I am tainted by it. Because I am afraid to. All those reasons and more. Perhaps, if I am lucky enough to become old, I will accumulate something else: the courage to give it all away before I die. That would be a good thing, I think.

And now for something completely different:

Hilarious, used to love Harry Enfield sketches, I still use some of the lines today!

I think harryg you have to get the prize for finding the perfect sketch for any particular line of conversation!

Most people with lots of money think it serves them, oh no, money becomes their master.

Here's another one from Harry Enfield, this is Yodean if he was in the building trade, the background is that in the 80's/90's you could earn pretty good money in the building trade as construction was booming and these guy's would often brag about how much they earnt:

Well, tbh, I don't consider money important enough to lie or brag about, really.

I'd much rather brag about my Ninjedi skills in the boudoir, as well as my inborn ability to consume insane amounts of poor quality dim sum at a single sitting without throwing up or developing diarrhea.

Also, from a net worth perspective, anything under eight figures USD isn't a big deal in my books, and I'm not there yet. If I get there, great - I'm pretty close, although a lot closer in mid-November '21 - if I don't, no big deal - I still have my kettlebells and the ability to be happy alone, or even in the company of nice Sheep.

But WISCs, whether Dark, Light, or Grey, are definitely more fun, and I'm lucky to still have a few of those in my life. I occasionally run into one by accident, too, and he is invited to join.

A few million USD in profits trading mostly BTC and ETH proxies isn't much to brag about - if I had known about the TIT's methodology back in 2017, I likely would have doubled or tripled that number, but I was busy in another profession, so I didn't have the time to analyze the markets like I do now, nor develop more nuanced trading and investing skills.

One of my father-in-laws is a proper billionaire. His name used to make the papers fairly regularly, and he's published his own autobiography (although nobody bought it, lol). Many years ago I met him, shook his hand, and had a nice mano a mano conversation with him about "business."

It was quite interesting - he was already mostly retired at that time - his children were busy fighting over the huge inheritance - but I did learn a few things, if you go by what he told me.

One was that all he cared about at that point in his life - he was in his 80s, so perhaps no great insight - was his health, and he was worried about the constant positioning of his children against each other, in terms of the family inheritance. He pretty much didn't care about anything else.

He didn't even go to university - he started working in different jobs as a teenager - and eventually started his own business. And he started with nothing (i.e. no inheritance, lottery winnings, etc.). The definition of a self-made man.

When I asked him about being a successful entrepreneur, he laughed and basically told me, well, this stuff can't be taught - you either have it, or you don't. Sure, you'll still need to learn some skills and Lady Luck, but at the end of the day ...

YoungAnakin may want to chime in on this ... he sounds like he's a successful entrepreneur of some sort.

The video was just a litlle fun, of course I don't really know you that well and I'm sure you don't brag!

Whether something is a lot or not I would suggest depends on what you're comparing it to - if comparing 8 figures to US government spending or billionaires then I guess it isn't that much, but as an individual's worth compared to the large majority of humanity it's an extreme amount, try telling someone who has to walk 5 miles each way to fill up a container of water every day, that 8 figures isn't that much! People can lose complete perspective in their own little bubbles.

Your father-in-law has learnt a good lesson, that health should be a major priority, but what a waste of a life pursuing money to work this out near the end, and his children appear to be fighting to be enslaved by money themselves, what a sad inheritance, I've met happier homeless people! Sorry to be harsh here but I find it amazing how people pursue the very things that cause a vacuous life, look at all the movie and music stars who end up in rehab or commit suicide after they have realised their dreams and life's ambitions.

When you talk about learning to be happy with your kettlebells etc. I see far more wisdom, for me having a lot of money or not isn't the major issue, it's whether you have mastered it or whether it has mastered you, if you become a billionaire after accumulating over many years, then you probably are a slave to it.

While possibly true, for most mere mortals, the Path to Wisdom passes through the Palace of Excess.

To truly transcend money, one may need to accumulate a certain amount of the greenish stuff, then let go of the attachment. Without the first phase, the second may not be possible.

Kind of like asking a virgin if she has transcended the need for good sex with a masterful partner.

Lolol ...

Interesting discussion and I am including all the replies posted so far, but only interesting and applicable from a level 3 perspective. From a level 4 vantage point it's all horses**T and to show you that I am unbiased, I include my level three responses up to now to that package

From a level 4 perspective, digest this statement to understand you don't need to pass through any stage; you can choose to be what you want right now.

I am everything, I am nothing, I am the past, present and future but more importantly, I am

I agree we don't need to pass through any stage, whether we have a billion, million or just ten dollars, we can choose right now how we relate to money or anything else.

Sol, I find these levels interesting but they're not my approach, I try to pursue truth, sometimes that requires discussing examples within life so I think it has been an important discussion.

Wisdom is proven right by her actions.

That's the beauty of true freedom the ability to disagree without having to worry about trying to be PC so that you don't get shot. Additionally, there is more than one way to skin a cat. So as they whatever rocks your boat (as in works for you) more power to you
