Hey mate, hopefully all the scans and tests turn out positive and this time next year, will just be a blip in the grand scheme of things.

For now it is okay at least :)

I thought the trick to being rich normally starts with being rich to start with as being rich to start with opens more doors for you that are not available to the regular folk.

For sure. It is almost a guarantee - unless an idiot with money or very unlucky.

Perhaps this is the reason why your answer to some people about getting rich isn't warmly welcomed.

For sure. People want to "be" not get rich. They don't realize that unless winning that lottery, there has to be a progression.

ten years down the track and I wonder if crypto will still be a side hustle?

And yes. Being unattached helps a lot. Don't want too much, don't fear losing a lot.
