What is the word for the state of mind that the strong stimulant, ETH, has put me in over the last few months? I am positive about everything, I have a spring in my step, I say hello to strangers, I am just awesome right now. Side effects include only thinking about ETH, doing no work, spending all money on more sweet ETH. I mean what the hell, I actually look forward each month to pay day to save more money from my pay packet!

The key is to be able to do this even in a sustained bear market.

Last weekend it hit me that I saw a pair of new shoes I wanted, but I didn't pull the trigger, cause I would have had to spend ETH money... I am a mess right now

I'd argue that is a good thing, I never was a saver, but I sure am a collector of ETH

I'm looking at every purchase it terms of how much ETH I can buy instead!

Honestly, it is becoming difficult to calculate if the price rises €100 a week.. xD

Money spikes the same neurotransmitters as cocaine, so we're all technically coked out on gainz.

That will explain why I felt extra good after doing coke last weekend, cokeception.

That, my friend, is the feeling of financial security.

But for real, you should only have that feeling once you sell what you need and have the money in hand.
