Since then i've been waging diligently, and have once again reached executive level despite the company being in a radically different industry. My salary is soon to increase further, probably in the direction of >$300k.

With all of that additional income, in 2024, i got briefly nerdsniped by S&P500 FIRE bros, and put over 150k into it. Almost my entire cash savings. The rest i gambled on solana and eth meme-coins. Which worked amazingly, i made about $130k gambling on LINU and HAMMY.
Only problem: I didn't sell. Either one. And rode them back down to my initial or close to 0.

Having again been burned on crypto, i kept still until late in the year, where i finally remembered LINK, and started increasing my old 620 stack. 1k here, 1k there.
An old DOGE investment rode the peak after the election, and allowed me to increase my stack further.

I even took out a $50k loan to buy more, knowing that i can comfortably pay it off even if all should go to zero, given my income.

I bought no matter the price. And finally, today, i invested the final $25k needed to get up to the mythical 10k LINK.

In conclusion, what i want to say is: THANK YOU FUDDIES!
YOU made it possible for even a pathetically slow actor like myself to eventually drag myself up to a suicide stack. While it took an investment of $180k overall to get there, all i am feeling is gratitude.
I didn't deserve low prices. I didn't deserve timing the market. What i did however deserve were those 10k LINK, and soon we will all smile from the same ivory tower, no matter the path that got us here.
THANK YOU, WAGMI.
