You aren't alone. The envy is real.
And yet, some part of me strongly feels that the whole thing is flimsy - the result of economic engineering magical powers rather than hard won progress. It feels like a prosperity gospel megachurch and the altar is the Fed.
I can't really explain it well enough in my limited vocabulary.
- MarcelOlsz 5y agoNone of this has ever made me jealous or bothered me because I don't respect it. If I'm at a get together or a dinner party and someone tells me they're into crypto, or running startups etc, I don't care, I feel bad for them. "Making money" is not a passion. I have respect for things that existed 2000 years ago: namely craftsmanship whether its leather work or art or writing or music etc. Someone having a fat bank account doesn't bother me at all.
