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
