I feel so negative towards work. What I’m doing day to day is not meaningful or interesting, and I resent the hours and the lack of boundary. How can I feel more positive about work?

Find something that does have your interest, either within the company or be willing to switch jobs. I know it’s easier said than done but life is not worth it, it’s just a job

Second this. Take some time to honestly think through what interests you and what type of work you enjoy doing. Then give it a try. Life’s too short for a job you’re unhappy in

Change your thinking. It’s all a battle of the mind. Think about what you can be grateful for. Do you know how many unemployed people would love to have your job.

Celsius vs BlockFi now that BlockFi has all the cease and desist orders? Seems like celsius pays better AND now may be a safer bet? I like that BlockFi allows interest flex so i could get everything in eth or something and i have their CC, but otherwise they kinda suck. Bad rates and limited / expensive withdrawals.

I’m also concerned about more states piling onto BlockFi and turning them into a bitconnect or cred or something. Unlikely i know but curious about folks thoughts.
