For me it was a rapid rate of win after win but without schooling a fancy piece of paper and a prison record I found it hard to work outside of crypto. Ontop of that before I was regularly taking my meds it was win win win - then a swift fall back to the bottom. I’ve been building the whole time but now I’m stable I’m hoping the wins feel more like what they should.
You’re just right though countless people I’ve seen make it big and end up dead shortly after. Money not earned is money quickly lost. Part of the earning it is what builds your character enough to handle it imo
If you'd be so kind as to share, I'm very interested in any common threads you may see in the people who ultimately crash back down. I grew up in pretty extreme poverty, got a big break of sorts, and I do my best to avoid ending up back where I came from.
I’d like to hear the story on how you went from sleeping in your car to riding jet skis in Dubai by presumably playing the drug game, if you’re at liberty to blog about
I’m the writer not OP but I was homeless on the streets from around 16-19 then after I left prison with my book knowledge on how to code I started contributing to a open source crypto project and kinda got mad lucky. Many trips to Dubai
Water skiing and skydiving then had another episode with my bipolar and ended up literally giving away my bags. More stable now but was both a metaphor for the insane highs and lows mentally but the crazy things a guy fresh out of jail with a new will to do something productive did before I got stable

I have also seen people come from nothing, go to obscene wealth, then end up right back on Skid Row again.
