I am not hurting, do not get me wrong, but...
edition.cnn.com...

It is getting a little stupid, maybe ridiculous, the way the world keeps on getting on with the monetary system that we have in place. I am seeing
IPO or ICO and DEFI and Bitcoin and whatever the hell folks can come up with, all to make more money. Do these asshats not have more than most anyways, give me a freaking break. I am starting to wish for a monetary system reset, so someone else can have a try, hopefully without gaming the
current system or making a new one to game. I for real do not know if I want change or more money. Shaking my head... aka smh

High risk, high reward.

Some will make it, and other will crash and burn spectacularly.

I don't let it bother me, and I don't honestly care. I have enough.

There is an old expression.
Money doesn't buy happiness.

But the more practiced but lesser known expression is...
The lack of money can buy a lot of misery.

The truth is that most people making loads of money are getting a return on investment.
It takes money to make money so those people with the initial capital have the best chances.
Rich getting richer.

Careful what you wish for - a reset will no doubt greatly devalue what you already have which by the sound of your envy ain't that much. Plus you must have some great ideas in the wind ehh looking/wishing to give someone else a try.

The already rich will roll with the times and you will definitely find the same key players at the helm no matter where the helm sits.

I think what you really want is to see the insanely rich loose it all to get a glimpse of your type of lifestyle - not sure if thats commendable or just nasty but leaning towards the nasty.

What would you do with more money anyway in all honesty????? It won't buy you your live and let live mentality that you may need a refresher on.

So your reset will come and much much much quicker than you may like but just remember - you asked/wished for it.

A reset won't change a whole lot.

The same people complaining about not making it with the rules we have in place will likely have the same results should the game change.

Most of those people don't take a chance. They just expect things to happen for them.

The difference in people is mentality and drive. Changing the game won't change the players.

The fact that you think an IPO has anything to do with an ICO or Bitcoin and then go on to say you wish for a reset only shows one thing.

You'd be in this situation, regardless.

There is no reset where you are put on an even playing field with others. You need knowledge, skill, and a lot of hard work. Plus a persevering entrepreneurial spirit.

You're sitting here asking for a reset because this K-Pop band just made millions of dollars by going public with their entertainment company. Just think, if you had a single good idea, you could be making millions too. You only need 100,000 people buying your idea for $10 to be a millionaire. You have access to thousands of people just through this post, and instead of generating ideas or making money, you're complaining about other people making money.

You don't even need the good idea either....

Just the ability to judge which ideas are good. Hell, you can even make money on what you believe others will perceive as a good idea.

The system isn't perfect by any stretch... But humanity as I see it isn't capable of a perfect system. I don't even know if we're capable of a better one at this point. People want to tear down the good parts and replace it with bad ones.

That's a fair point...
But it only proves my point too.
The lack of money buys a lot of misery....no beer

Well, the majority of the people screaming to tear down these good parts, are typically less educated on individual income generation. They are reliant on big business / corporations for their income, thus, they defend the corporate system and - inadvertently - destroy small / medium sized businesses (competition). Any of these people with a little bit of entrepreneurial drive will then turn around and complain that there is no opportunity for individual income generation. After they've voted for the past 20 years for hardcore regulations that only condensed the playing field to a few businesses that could afford the regulatory framework that their lobbyist buddies put through congress.

You don’t initially need to be rich but dating rich helps.

Maybe you should work those abs and move to where the money is. There is always a way if you want bad enough. Dont listen to the naysayers. This is your life.
