Trading your own money is one of the worst cost-benefit ratios out there.
If you’re decent, you’ll make less per hour than most jobs. And if you’re not, you lose money (relative to an indexer).
Most will get richer doing just about anything else
50yrs ago. No one can imagine a mf can just fucking gambling and abuse drugs all day and make the top0.001% income.

I'll be honest, you're right, I just fucking love it too much.
I crave the chaos + the 50M a month paycheck is hard to justify not taking when all i do off stream is gamble anyways 🤣

In the early 1980s, my math teacher told me I would never amount to anything because I wanted to use a calculator to solve math problems.
Back then, calculators were relatively new, very expensive, and viewed as a shortcut.
I went on to make more than $100 million using computers and calculators.
I bet somewhere today, a teacher, boss, or parent is telling a young person that using AI or ChatGPT is cheating—that they need to do things the “old-fashioned way” or "use your brain."
History has a funny way of repeating itself.
The winners won't be the people who resist the tools of the future. They'll be the ones who learn how to use them better than everyone else.
Technology doesn't replace intelligence. It multiplies what you can do with it.
My advice: embrace technology, and never let ANYONE piss on your dream.
The pic below is the actual calculator I owned, which I got by trading a kid fireworks for it. I bet his parents were happy about that.
