This is how I feel about all politics in general. Even if the war did break out in Taiwan like @MimicSquid suggests, it's not really my problem as cold as that sounds. Best I can do is vote, but even voting blue doesn't solve anything or make any meaningful progress at a national scale.

If war breaks out, won't the nukes start flying? At that point, for most normal people, there's zero hope for survival. So war's not really a problem anymore, since I will be dead.
And if nothing happens between the two, then great.
Why worry is my question? Seems the decision is out of our hands.

The odds I had of making money were very high due to a mix of factors like a raging bull market and having access to information and edge that other participants did not have. The only thing that stopped me from executing was my own fear.

And I had to access to informational edge that most crypto people don't have. It's not roulette at all. The chances of winning in a bull market are much higher than normal. Crypto is not a random walk. And it sounds like you fumbled a generational bag too. I get it makes no sense to feel bad about it, but the next time the bull market comes around, I am not standing on sidelines.

I know Tildes doesn't like crypto but with the information edge I had, I could have been a millionaire. One of the few trades I did take marked important local bottoms and the top at 60k.

During the pandemic, I had the perfect opportunity to make a fuckton of money from crypto. I didn't lose much money but I lost a lot of gains by being a loser and a moron. The pandemic and crypto bull run were perfect for me since I could make money just buying jpegs and sitting inside all day. Instead I wasted it watching anime, playing video games, and jerking off. I don't even remember the last three years. But not a day goes by, I don't wanna whip myself over what I did. I truly deserve hell.

Kinda regretting my purchase already but it what it is. The other option was a m1 max or a high-end m1 pro.

Yeah I think spreading the word is a good cause but I have next to no influence in my life. And I am in a blue state so it wouldn't matter anyway. I really don't have the resources to be converting right wingers right now. My biggest worry right now is getting a proper job and trying not to be replaced by AI.
