The lifestyle of a bull market.
Recently, PayFi and U card have become popular again, all related to daily cashing out and spending, and it can be felt that everyone is making money in this wave of the market.
Remember, the last wave of cashing out in the bull market was in 2021. At that time, many friends around me realized wealth during that wave, and they each chose their own way to change their lives and profitably exit. How are they doing now? Perhaps there are some insights.
