I just never did.
Otherwise, I would have a lot more of it.
But it's always been strange to me how people that have that kind of money like โ
Or cheap in any way, you know, like they wouldn't donate 5,000 to a worthwhile charity because it's like, buddy, this, like when it changes your life, not even like, like small things like taxes, like, okay, you have $20 billion and you're worried about paying 33%, 30% to 31%.
I get the point of it all, but it literally has no effect on your life whatsoever.
Your life is unchanged, whether it's 31 or 33.
It was all you and you're a genius and you're so great.
And all these other people who don't have, it's just because they don't have what you have.
And like, you just, then you start to like view that group of people, whether they're impoverished or whatever is like less than, and that you're some like great guru where you could have just got lucky and bought Bitcoins that, you know, could have done anything.
And then you became like super wealthy.
And then you have this like Dunning-Kruger effect,
where you think you know everything about everything.
And a lot of poker people have that.
And I, listen, I'm probably guilty in some ways too, you know, thinking because you can figure out poker and be, you know, great at that, that you could figure out anything.
So there's like, it's true, right?
I mean, we sort of, we genuinely feel like people that reach the highest levels of poker feel like they are intelligent.
So they will look at problem solving and think that they have answers.
Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with like acknowledging that you worked hard to get where you were.
Like there isn't.
