@fyrstikken I like your optimism it is contagious, I feel like buying more STEEM now... Not sure about the trying to only have richer/more successful friends, sure I have seen it work, we used to call them "starfuckers", but now some of these "starfuckers" are famous and super successful.
But some just don't give a shit and just work really hard at what they are good at with good people and achieve success, but then again maybe a little "starfucking" would have made them even more succesful who knows, right?
