Do you ever get the feeling that the money you make in the crypto world doesn’t really feel like real money? $BSB


Yesterday, a friend of mine told me he made about thirty thousand U.S. dollars trading short-term last month, which is over two hundred thousand RMB. I asked him how he spent it, and he said—he bought a few meals, a watch, transferred some to his girlfriend, and then half of it he threw back into trading to open new positions. Throughout the process, he didn’t feel much—like spending game currency, and once it was gone, he forgot about it. #沃什首秀美联储利率不变
That sounds pretty satisfying, but it’s actually quite dangerous. $Lobster
Because if the money doesn’t feel like money in your mind, sooner or later, you’ll gamble with money you shouldn’t be using.
Cryptocurrency has a characteristic: it’s all just numbers bouncing on the screen. When it goes up, the numbers get bigger. When it drops, the numbers get smaller. There’s no real feeling of pulling cash out of your wallet. If you lose ten thousand in cash, your hand will shake because it’s truly taken from your hand. But if you lose ten thousand U, you probably just frown, take a sip of water, and think about how to turn it back around on the next trade.
So many people in this market lose far more than they can afford in real life. By the time they realize it, the hole is so big they’re afraid to even count it.
I’ve heard of a simple trick that works pretty well.
Every time you make a profit, force yourself to withdraw a part of it and spend it on something tangible—treat yourself to a good meal, buy something you’ve been thinking about for a long time, or add a decent item to your home. The goal is simple: to help your brain reconnect with the reality that this money is real and spending it will evoke feelings. When you start feeling the pain of losing money, you’ll naturally hesitate a couple of seconds longer before opening a trade. #预测世界杯加拿大VS卡塔尔
There’s an even harsher method: convert the amount.
For example, if you’re about to open a trade with several ten thousand U, ask yourself: how many months of my salary would that be? If this money is earned little by little from waking up early and working every day, would I still throw it in so easily?
After asking this, you’ll generally calm down a lot. #SpaceX市值超越微软跻身全球前五
This market never sympathizes with people who have no concept of money. If you don’t care about it, it cares even less about you.
