Pudgy Ponders: Gen Wealth? But At What Price?
Being online 24/7 is frying an entire generations' brains
After stepping back from X and crypto the last few weeks, I can say without a doubt, my mental health has improved, and I'd almost go as far as to say it has skyrocketed like you hope your favorite memecoin will (but likely won’t).

I'm checking my phone less, I feel less anxious, I'm less tied to the hopes of airdrops, white lists, token value, hoping to be early on new tokens, and NFTs launching that previous me would feel nervous about missing.

The FOMO of web 3 and crypto is real.

The feeling of needing to be online 24/7 or your might miss life changing wealth is polluting the minds of the industry.
It's an undiagnosed mental health pandemic not enough people are talking about.
Unplug. Call your parents. Go play pickleball with your friends. Plan an adventure. Do some breathwork. Ask out your crush.
Life is passing you by while you’re sucked into the depths of crypto and web 3.
Namaste.
