Lol I had bitcoin back in the day when I bought 100mg of thc gummies for what would be today 200k in bitcoin. Don’t act like we were clairvoyant on its rise. Most people wanted it to go from USD to BTC and back within the day as a conduit for illegal affairs. No one who held on to a large amount was some market forcaster half the time they just forgot about. I was mining back then aswell before assics no one in that mining community was of the attitude that it was an investment they just knew the current price did the math and thought they could turn a profit, only saving any when frankly their profit went to negative and they decided to sit on it and pray.
I just find it funny that you frame it as people had some grand plans from the get go. No we were all young kids selling and buying drugs trying to grift while it was profitable. The early silk road fourms basically looked like wall street bets.
Im now an adult and I own 0 crypto besides whats been lost to a forgotten password. Its entire utility erroded away the moment exchanges gog audited from IRS and people need to stop pretending it was/is something its not.
Same, I honestly spend most of my days in my home lab working on personal stuff and then grind out work when I need to. My production is still higher than all my immediate team mates and my boss consistently praises my efforts. I have pretty bad ADHD so this sporadic burst working is what works best for me. That being said i’m on call support so of course if a call comes in that gets responded to immediately as I am never out of earshot of my work PC and phone during work hours even though I may be actually on my personal PC.
Recently I took over a project two people have been working on and have just done it myself, the timeline for completion has also moved up a month with just me doing it. My co workers aren’t lazy, I just find that I know how to batch things together efficently and kill a flock with a boulder so to speak. Frankly my brain inscentivizes me finishing stuff fast.
This is what middle managers and c suite at my company that miss lording over cubicles don’t get, I am literally more efficient at home in my own environment without distractions, but also contrary to their beliefs I am not shut off from collaboration. I always answer calls and constantly run training sessions for our new hires and my co workers on my methods. This is all a bullshit way to get us back under their thumb.
