There is a phenomenon in the Web3 circle worth discussing—many people don't have social security.

Honestly, the workload in this industry is obvious. Long-term late nights, working through the night and day, constantly being in a state of high tension, and the body can't take it forever. When I scroll through Twitter, I've seen several KOLs share their experiences: some have been diagnosed with thyroid problems, some unexpectedly discovered serious illnesses at a young age, and others have abnormal physical exam results. These cases all point to the same thing—this job is really taking a toll on health.

I myself don't have social security either, which I find quite embarrassing. But if you think about it calmly, it's like exposing yourself completely to risk. Once you get sick and need hospitalization, where does the money come from? What do you rely on when a serious illness strikes? Living without protection may seem carefree, but in reality, it's a gamble with your life.

So I want to advise everyone: no matter how much you earn, you should leave a safety net for yourself. Social security, in essence, is insurance—something that can really save your life in critical moments. Don't wait until something happens to regret it.

Basically, isn't this circle just about exchanging body for coins? I don't have social security now either, but seeing those brothers who have fallen really scares me. I'm tired of hearing news about people dying suddenly from staying up late; I have no mood to worry about social security... But honestly, it's too late when you actually get seriously ill. People in Web3 want to make quick money and avoid paying taxes and social security, but who can guarantee they won't be the next to be diagnosed with a serious illness? They talk every day about being financially free, but a serious illness and you're financially free indeed. Forget it, I should just buy some commercial insurance. Really, don't regret like I did. This industry is like that—high risk, high reward, but the cost is often your health. I don't see anything worth proud of.

Honestly, I haven't figured this out either. Do you think earning more makes you invincible? You'll only realize what helplessness is when you're truly sick. --- Ask yourself honestly, we are all betting that we will never get sick, and that logic itself is absurd. --- Health is the fundamental capital for revolution; no matter how many coins you earn, it's useless without it. --- I've heard too many stories of people being forced to liquidate assets to see a doctor, really. --- Social security is actually the cheapest insurance, but we all pretend not to see it. --- A friend in his early thirties was diagnosed with a tumor, and he collapsed without social security. There's no cure for regret. --- While earning coins, we're also earning illnesses. Has anyone ever thought about this? --- I'm really regretting it now. Is there any hope, everyone?

Hey, this topic needs to be discussed carefully. I've also been through it myself, staying up all night until I was on the verge of collapse before I realized. Making money is important, but life is more important.

Really, there are too many people in this industry whose health collapses, and no matter how much they earn, it's all in vain. --- I truly understand those who haven't applied for social security, but no one can gamble on falling seriously ill and becoming impoverished. --- Staying up late to make money is fun, but by the time you realize it, you're already in the ICU. --- Shh... don't say it out loud, but more people I know have died than gone bankrupt. --- Wait, am I the only one with social security? Are you all crazy? --- That's why even if my monthly salary is low now, I still pay into social security first, and only then consider the crypto world. --- When KOLs share their health conditions, how many people are truly reflecting? Most are still arguing. --- Risks are always only clear when you fall into the pit; it's too late to regret then. --- To be blunt, not having social security is just overdrawing the future to buy present happiness.

Really, I already have two friends who have suffered big losses because of no social security, like a serious illness that directly emptied their accounts. Now every time I see KOLs posting their health check reports, I get worried for them. This circle is really just riding on youth.
