Work is about finding a meaningful way of living your life, of creating something or giving something you can be proud of. If you just do it for money, you already fell prey for the bad parts of human greed and status games. This has nothing to do with other people.

All you see is finance in the open. This happens, far worse, for so long. DeFi just makes it accessible for the average Joe and so you read about it on Reddit. Just like HackerNews can fuck your mind and think there is always a smarter person (there is), DeFi just shows there are always people making money easier than you.

There is a limit to money and happiness. Sure, if you want to be financial independet, stop working, get into DeFi, this is a rare once in a century opportunity to hold your hands open while hedge funds are pouring money into a new system.

Money or wealth won‘t make you happy. Family, friends and purposful „work“ does.
