Letβs talk about the π in the room -- burnout.
I've been in the NFT space since late 2020, and full time degening since early 2021.

- I just realised I could sell my Moonbirds now and finally buy a Bored Apeβ¦ but all of a sudden I donβt really want one anymore. Mad respect for my Ape brothers and sisters, but I think I was meant to be a Bird π¦
- Assume your bags go down another 50-80%. Will you still be here? If so, why?
- Another weekend of insider trading and influencer pump & dumps in the NFT space. At this point I almost empathize with normies who believe our whole industry is a scam. Weβre destroying trust and repelling new market participants. This doesnβt end well.

- Replying to @friendlyjamesonLike many people in this space, I'm a type A personality. - I (attempt to) multitask - I can't stand wasting time - I'm uber-competitive - I spend almost every waking hour "working" - I'm determined to succeed - Underachieving stresses me tf out Any of these ring a π?
- Over the past few days Iβve been max following π¦πΊ accounts. Itβs honestly kind of inspiring to see how many of us there are in the global crypto/web3 community. If youβre an Aussie whoβs active in this space & Iβm not yet following you, letβs fix that π€

- Replying to @friendlyjamesonOver the past 18 months I've neglected things like... - IRL frens - Exercise - Nutrition - Sleep - Mindfulness ...in favour of staring at anthropomorphized animals for ~14 hours a day. π€ Turns out we can't just attempt to transcend our biology without incurring consequences.

- POV: You're a crypto-curious normie hearing about FTX for the first time. You start scrolling through twitter in an attempt to figure out what's going on. Initally you're impressed by the quality of commentary & analysis. But then something catches your eye...
- Replying to @rationalaussie"boomers worked hard" My brother in price, simply observe any chart showing average house price v. average household income over the past 40 years
