In this brief reflective monologue, the speaker recounts learning that a friend earned about $50 million in net profit from solo crypto trading during a single quarter. While initially congratulating the friend, the speaker admits a fleeting temptation to emulate that success, recalling past moments when curiosity about lucrative opportunities led them to lose focus. Drawing on previous experiences of being “burned” by chasing seemingly greener pastures, the speaker emphasizes the importance of staying committed to their own work and recognizing that attraction to such opportunities often signals a lack of sufficient knowledge.

A buddy of mine did like $50 million in net earnings in Q4 just from trading crypto. No employees, just traded crypto, made $50 million in profit. In that moment, I was like, good for you, man. No idea how you do it. Don't want to know. I'm going to keep doing my thing. At so many other points in my career, I would have been like, oh my God, teach me what you're like. I want to learn what you're like. And I would completely take my eye off the ball. I've just been burned enough times jumping over that bridge to know that, like, the grass is greener. And the fact that I think it's attractive means I don't know enough.
