Trading is adversarial; winning against others matters more than money itself.

100%. And because that's trading, trading is mono and mono. It's you versus someone else in the order book. You're selling because you think something's overpriced, they're buying because they think it's gonna go higher. I wanna be right. And so if I ever feel like someone's greasing me, it's painful. Even if it's for an amount of money that I would spend on something silly without a second thought, when there's someone else on the other side and I feel like they're winning, it's one of my favorite things from succession, the show, when Logan Roy is like, okay, yeah, they're happy with the deal. He's like, well, hold on. They're not supposed to be happy. Like, I wanna fuck them. I want them to feel like they got fucked. And that is how I'd operate, not just in trading, but in life in general. So, dude, this has been super fun.
