Crypto is Killing Me...

[@glennpattison4678]

When i was younger had 3 houses, worked 18 hours a day. Lost everything, divorce. Started meditation found peace, joy, i play music. Still work alot, started mining but when things get too much, i meditate, get centered, play music have joy. Material things dont bring joy. I feel you brother!

[@Lifetechllc]

Thank you for sharing glen

[@symbionictitan4074]

Yes I agree, material things bring a bit of pleasure but a lot of problems and stresses.

[@anthonyjennings2097]

Life chasing dollars gets you to 54 a few days after your 18th birthday. Tails will live forever through the puppies she teaches to live the Vosk way. Buy more puppies and they will mine themselves a 2k a pop. Bet you never sell one…. I see “Vosk kennels”. Never forget the moment. Tomorrow looks after itself, the feeling of regret is part of aging. We all waste time complying to expectations of others. YOU ARE YOURS AND Ms VOSKS… NOT OURS OR KZbinS. Mine little VOSKS…it’s more satisfying AND fun.

[@bigbris2012]

Material things only bring temporary happiness, never true long-lasting joy. Relationships and love are the only things that truly matter in life. Value and nurture those things because at the end of the day, they will unlock your true happiness. I've watched your content for several years and your an incredible creator, but just know your personal life is very important and never lose sight of that. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices in success to solidify our foundation. Much love Vosk, you got this.

[@chrisbrewer1341]

Thank you for putting out videos most days. I get excited seeing a new uploads from you. I hear you man and understand the frustration of life. As for your question as to if I'm happy? I have the same feelings and get crapped on usually at least once a day but I take it with my head up and do the best I can, that's all we can do. I'm happy most days I'd say. I'm a single father of a 5 year old boy named Jack and a 3 year old girl named Sera. They are my life and the reason I mine so I can have more time with them. I don't want them to grow up and I don't know where the time went. Sorry for the long comment but you got me a bit in my feels today. Some people suck and things rarely go the way they are planned but for whatever it's worth I think you are doing an awesome job with your life so far and you will be an amazing father one day with they way you care about tails. Sorry to ramble, much love take care man.

[@firepinto]

Watching this was like seeing me talking 10 to 12 years ago. I left my high paying travel job to risk it going back to school and to finally have a dog. Now my White German Shepherd that I got as a puppy is now 10 years old and moves like an 85 year old man. It was the best 10 years of my life and well worth the reduction in pay. Until now. This economy is a joke, pay rates have not kept up with inflation and the extra overcharge. Now I'm moving on to a new chapter with a higher paying job and keeping my big old puppy going as long as I can. I can say this, always try to plan an exit strategy. When a current work/life balance isn't working, part of it needs to be cut out like a cancer before it consumes everything. It sounds like you are putting your thinking on the right track. The solitude you are craving is a natural part of calculating your big decisions.

[@gregbuchta877]

You mentioned you were thankful for all the sunscribers... An attitude of gratitude is definitely the way to be happy. Stop letting the 1% get to you and enjoy the appreciation of the 99%. Period.

[@buzzliteyear11]

Totally agree, if material things aren't helping you find joy, maybe helping others in the community in need might give you real satisfaction and joy. Best feelings in my life have been when I have helped others in their lives.

[@chrisharris2153]

I learned a long time ago that it's hard to understand that you are never really happy in the moment. You may feel joy in the moment, but that's not happiness. Happiness comes from looking backwards at your life, the people that are in it and the memories you've made with those people. Think of all the memories you look back on and are immediately filled with happiness and you miss those days. People fail to realize they are making those days right now, so they can look back on them later. Also, the thing that has made me the most happy in my life is living in service to other people. Being nice to everyone I see and living a life that makes others happy. Everyone struggles to be happy, but when you take time out of your day to just focus on someone else, things start to change. You start having that returned to you which makes you happy. I hope you see this and it helps you, brother. You're an amazing dude who has helped so many people on YT, and people are grateful for that, but it's not a physical connection or one you can see, touch, hear or look at. I'd focus on you and the people you love because like you said " One day they won't be here anymore" and all you will be left with is the memories you created together.

Glad you said "keep pushing" at the end. Been following you since 2017. This not the first time you been burnt out. I seen in a few other videos. I get concerned cause the community needs you, but you need you more. Find a way for balance. Take time for yourself and Alexa. Maybe short trips. Anyway, Im 60 and know exactly what you are talking about the hamster wheel. I just shut down my little home farm of 4 141 xps because after halving, it's not worth it. Looking forward to closing the coin business even though it hurts. Take care and good luck Vosk

[@gradysharp6527]

Here's some brief inspiration....perspective in life is how we interpret our environment, interactions, and perceptions. We can choose to be positive or negative about the exact same scenario. The variable isn't the scenario, but rather how we see it in our mind. Happiness cannot be bought, it cannot be given, and it isn't a finish line. It is a conscious effort to see the positives and ignore the negatives (the Bible would call these temptations) in our everyday life. People sometimes say "perception is reality", and it certainly is with respect to how you feel about something. The challenge I pose to you is to focus on the good, and to ignore the temptations....or at least minimize them. By not allowing the negative to control your thoughts, the negative reactions that come from those thoughts will not be given the strength to grow. Don't compare yourself to others or want what you do not have, instead focus on making yourself and your family better each day, and in the joy that comes from that work. Anything worth doing is suppose to be hard, otherwise it would not be worth your time. Relish in the difficuties, don't dwell in them.

[@charlesb2003]

Love you bro! Don't ever think that what you're doing doesn't have meaning. You have changed lives of people for the better and I'm one of them. Came across your channel at the tail end of 2019, got a couple used L3++'s off eBay, and the rest is history. I started from the bottom in life, got sold a dream (lie) that college would be my ticket but it wasn't, worked as hard as I could in a couple different career paths but never made what I was worth, but now I'm a business owner with a passive income stream that's on track to replace the income from my job many times over. I'm not on your level yet but thanks to you I'm on my way! But I also totally relate to how you feel. Money is great, and it's really fucking necessary in this life. Lack of money sure can make you miserable, but unfortunately having money doesn't automatically make you happy. I always knew that, but I guess I thought that maybe it'd be different for me. But it just isn't. Been trying to figure out why I feel like this, and it's a lot of what you said. Burnout for sure, haters, fake friends, etc. But also I think it's just that our world and our country ain't what it used to be, to the point that having all the money in the world almost doesn't matter because "society" isn't even something that I want to be a part of anymore. Guess all we can do is keep grinding and hold close to the ones we love. You can always make more money, but you can't buy back time. Give Tails a hug for me!

"You will own nothing and be happy." (Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum)

[@Mkylu]

I went through this a while back. A couple of things helped me. Make sure to check your health, I had a problem that developed. Untreated it caused a lot of anxiety and depression symptoms. Make sure yo talk to a doctor about your feelings, they maybe able to help. The other thing is I was living a life for someone else and at the same time thinking it was living the life I wanted. It doesn't have to be a person that you know. It could be the algorithm or anything else that puts you into a mold you don't like. From time to time, we have to do things we don't like but ask yourself are doing this 80% of the time? If so, find out what you can do to take back control. You may need to take a break from work to do this. I hope this helps and know that you are loved and appreciated!

Hey brother, I truly felt this in my soul. My wife and I live in the central Virginia area and honestly we don't have much here so it's been kind of rough, but what I will say is that spending time with her and our two boys makes every day just that much better. After I got out of the army I had no purpose and I had no drive and to this day I still struggle because I feel like I can't find something that makes me feel fulfillment and happy. I wake up every day to my wife and kids that's that is honestly all that's keeping me going. Hang in there and just take a step back and look at the love around you and lean on that for happiness. If you ever need anything brother I'm available. I've watched you for years and want to see people find happiness so keep your head up brother.

[@BilletGarage]

I felt this right here... It's a struggle no matter your success level or achieved wealth. I have a few years on you but I have learned that less is more and being content is a choice. And for a driven individual, this is a unnatural pace in life. Work/Life balance is a myth if your doing both well. Focus on leaving a legacy you can be proud of. Stack Sats for your future family. Money is security, it's not happiness. Time may be scarce, but when you're present, be PRESENT. Disconnect from the tech and drama for those moments that matter. I am a car guy too, don't lose that passion. Treat it like an outlet, not another obligation. You didn't win, but you did the thing and had fun doing it. Peace and harmony are way too valuable. Peace and Blessings to you, Miss Vosk, and Tails.

This was the most real vosk video to date. I am in the same boat. running a farm, keeping a 9-5 management job, a wife, two kids, a house, and 3 cars to keep going. Everyday is just burnout, after burnout and it gets hard to see a path forward. always wondering if your doing enough, farm issues that keep you up all night working to correct issues and have less downtime, and still needing to perform at a high level in day to day life. these days work is life or you wont be even close to "successful". Very glad to hear someone else understands and i am not alone. And the reality of how short life is and how much time we waste and not spend with the ones who matter most. thanks Vosk.

At age 70 I have never been more hopeful in my life. And it's not kids, grandkids, career, friendships, hobbies, money, personal actualization - anything like that. It's understanding the arc of human history and my story as part of that. And realizing that this chapter of life is not the point. It's simply the prologue to the next chapter that is filled with all that I wish I could have now. I do get to taste some of it now from time to time, but the BEST is yet to come. Understanding the next chapter gives hope that sustains in this chapter because now we have a context to frame our understanding of what is "happening".

Wait until you have real kids though... time goes by SO fast. You blink and your babies are 14 or 16 yrs old and are done with story time and drawing/coloring with you. It's crazy. Just gotta enjoy it while you can!

One more thing: I think a lot of people wait to have kids when it's "the right time" but honestly the "right time" doesn't exist, and people end up waiting until it's too late. I've seen that happen to a couple of my college friends!

[@umairiqbal9417]

Bro you are 100% correct and that's how I've felt at different occasions so many times but then when I'm just at the bottom of everything and thinking of giving up, I remember disappointment is haram and we have a reason to be here and think about things that matter and all the blessings and all. And be grateful. This time will pass away! We have been with you in this journey brother since you started...

[@vazertuche]

Dude you’re awesome. Keep your head up and ignore haters.

[@tack_dog]

Hey bro, I’m a 60-year-old man and I went through everything you described and I’m still here and Kickin. I love what you do and you’re an inspiration to me even at this age. I am tech savvy and I can follow exactly what you’re doing and I’ve started mining myself. as a hobby but my body won’t let me do that anymore. I can tell that you’re full of love and you need to take time to experience that. I identified myself by my work and I had to dump that. It took me until I was 55 to learn that lesson. I have my family but I am no longer married. I am with my cat alone but not lonely. I think you mentioned it about offloading things that are causing stress (dump the car). Focus on your woman, your work, and find some things that brings you joy that doesn’t cost anything. Connecting with nature is a great way. Take your girl and your dog and find some places to hike. Unplug and seek in the world. It’s a great way to save your life. You really are an awesome man I can tell that you’re full of love you’re very conscientious and you really do a wonderful thing on KZbin sharing your passion. You are loved and you’re an amazing man.

Bronive been keeping tabs on your channel since your first shed and I'm telling you this video hit different, stay strong and keep finding ways to inspire you don't know how many people whose lives your changing

[@gt420hp]

Vosk, I have watched your content on and off for about 2 years. I started in Crypto because of your KZbin videos showing how to get involved. You sound burned out, give yourself a break. I would suggest you get yourself a coffee or your favorite beverage and get a sheet of paper and write down all the things you have accomplished over the last 5 to 7 years. Spend some time on the good things you have done, the goals you had set and where you accomplished those goals. Next, write down what areas you failed at, but make sure you write next to it what you did to overcome. You will be surprised at how accomplished you have become. Dude, you’re an inspiration for many people. Too many people in life do not “live their dreams”. You set out to accomplish so many things in a time where someone who doesn’t like risk would have told you…. you are crazy. I even thought you were crazy to be building a mining farm when Crypto prices were down and the future unknown. You had the balls to keep moving forward….give yourself credit for accomplishing some great things. Back to your list….review it and make a note about what makes you happy about the list. The house? The Farm? The race car? Tails? Your Fiancé? Other family members? Focus on the happiness factor….chase what makes you happy and make that part of your goals going forward. I have worked in the IT field for over 35 years and in many of those years worked for employers that sucked, but I was getting paid well so I put up with the crap. Long hours and not having any fun. The reason I did it was because of “family’. I had two kids I needed to raise, so my happiness was providing for them to make sure they had better than I had when I was growing up. Life is tough and many times unfair (taxes….we all have to deal with that). If I had a suggestion other than helping you with perspective is to slow down a little on your goals, focus on what makes you happy first. Money and material things certainly make life easier, but not always happiness.

[@rryptocookie2795]

sorry for the down times brotha. this to shall pass. long time fan here. keep that head up and keep friggen grinding !!!!!!

[@Bane5743]

Vosk bro we love you so much, you made my days better.

[@Jraphix6611]

You were the inspiration to change my life 7 years ago, I've been following you since day 1! And I can definitely say I feel you 200%, been living the highs and the downs of crypto with you, it always seems like it's a never ending harsh way to achieve our goals, but if you zoom back and think about how it all started, you'd probably never think you would be this far with your dream car! Achievements never seem as big as it was when it was just a 'goal', zoom back brother, you've achieved 10x more than I've got, yet we feel the same! Don't give up, you're truly an inspiration!

[@BcentBcent]

exactly vosk well said bro

[@burnerwallet3910]

You rock brother and are an inspiration, we see you

[@marthegielgens9320]

Don´t let some people, i call them the haters, let you down man. They are angry because they don´t have suc6 in there lives and just envy you. You are true and real and that´s why so many people enjoy your channel. I really learned a lot from your videos and i am grateful for that. Keep your head up and keep on grinding cause we love you man. But also find a way to take care of yourself and shield against these negative people. They drain your energy, that´s why i dismiss them from my life, but i guess that is not a option for you. I really understand how this frustrates you but don´t let them influence you so much because your a real asset to all of us, never forget! I hope you find your way in handeling this. It´s very brave to come out like this, witch i respect a lot. Tell´s a lot about your personality. You are a straight up guy and be really proud of what you have achieved. It´s truly amazing bro! Love your family, that matters the most and maybe try to get some distraction from your daily routine. Do something completely different you enjoy, it helps. Let go of stress because it damages you, that is my advice and learned the hard way, i hope it helps and you get true this.

[@hatemmosa1152]

Keep it up man, you are not alone. weirdly, it's spreading and many of us are feeling and facing the same!

[@savvy2582]

Are we linked or something? I am going through absolutely same stuff for last 1.5 years. It was like listening to myself. Only though on top of all thoughts you mentioned, that are absolutely identical to mine, the one more though I have is that probably I don't need to chase the dream anymore, chase the happiness neverendingly, but instead, what if I start enjoying what is and what I have right now and simply be happy. Like a shortcut. You know, like when people say, ''if I will be millionaire I will be happy'' and then spend their whole life grinding and chosen few become happy, but more often than not most of them just grinds off into the grave, never becoming happy. Why not just let it all go and enjoy it right away and simply be happy, and enjoy the family and friends and health while it lasts, because it will go eventually. As it already started going away.

[@archibaldpaoma]

I feel the same sometimes. I work at least 12 hrs a day and it often feels like the only thing I do is work. I started a garden and it isn’t much, but I enjoy eating the fruits(or rather veggies) of my labor. I tried cutting back on work, but that only lasted a month or two. Take the weekends off. Go on a hike. Do something you enjoy that does not cause you stress.

[@smokeyd-nl2474]

keep working forwards brother one day you have it in the palm of youre hand!!!... DONT GIVE UP!!!! take that fuel

[@Carl72W]

I feel you! I work a good paying full time so does my wife. I also work a part time job AND mine crypto. I still had to barrow money to go back to Cali for a family tragedy. I will just keep pressing forward even if it kills me!

[@majoorF]

Thank you!

[@1WINDSHEAR]

Amen brother. I couldn't agree more. I'm right there with you.
