I mean social media is not new and don’t recall a time in the last 15 years or so when it seemed like there were so many happening simultaneously

It’s somewhat ironic that the people I know who are into crypto are somewhat more likely to use cash than your average person for privacy reasons...

Yeah unless you are an extreme outlier and have expensive tastes you should be able to live off that very easily.

You are way overshooting. Of course you can comfortably retire with less than $10M under 40! The money is still working for you, presumably, through dividends on investments, etc.
