"Become a crazy person. If people in your life are not showing you active disdain, you're not stacking hard enough. If you're still invited to family Thanksgiving, you're not stacking hard enough. If people are not making fun of you for brown bagging your lunch, you're not stacking hard enough. If your car is younger than Bitcoin, you're not stacking hard enough, okay? If you don't have a second job, you're not stacking hard enough. You're just not stacking hard enough..." - AMERICAN HODL
