Everyone talks about chasing money like it's some terrible thing—until the wallet actually starts getting thick. Funny how principles work, right? Once you've got skin in the game and positions are printing, suddenly you're thinking different. The grind hits different when you're just breaking even versus when you're actually building something. That's just human nature.

Really, at first I was full of ideals, but as soon as the money came in, I changed my tune. I'm already tired of it.

actually... this whole "principles crumble when the money flows in" narrative is just ignoring the real incentive structures at play. it's not human nature, it's information asymmetry + misaligned trust assumptions. once you have skin in the game, you're no longer operating under the same probabilistic proof framework you were before—your priors have shifted, that's all.

NGL, you're so right. Who the hell can still stick to any principles? As soon as the price pumps, everyone immediately praises it.
