Today is the last day of November. I haven't written a long article in a long time, and it just so happens to be the last day of my blue label expiration, so I plan to write a final long article. I feel like I've talked quite a bit about reflections on investment and the crypto world before, so what I want to talk about instead is my life after leaving the crypto world.
Clearly, after leaving, my life direction has expanded more broadly. I can rethink the things I want to learn and the things I want to do. Although sometimes it still repeats day after day, I no longer wake up to the crypto world and scroll through it until the evening. I am not scared by market fluctuations, nor am I overwhelmed by the emotions of losses. I feel more emotionally stable and find it easier to feel satisfied.
After leaving the crypto world, I began to be troubled by financial worries, as I lost my source of income and still had not corrected my view on money, which made life seem quite tight. When I was in the crypto world, I had no desires; every day I would wake up to market trends and consultations, with no place to spend money. But now, returning to real life, I find everything interesting and want to buy everything, which makes money really tight. Fortunately, this frugal life has made me start to pull back my view on money, and I no longer spend extravagantly on food and purchases.
Time is still a precious thing. Even though I had this awareness before leaving the crypto world, it became even clearer after I left how valuable it is. As I said before, everything is a gamble, and the crypto world is no exception; it’s a zero-sum game where either you win or your opponent wins. But with so many competitors, when will it be your turn? You might say that as long as you have time and keep living in the game, but now I think using "time" as the stake in this wealth-building game doesn’t seem that cost-effective.
During this time, although I often reminisce about life in the crypto world and hold onto the idea of achieving results there, life after leaving seems to be quite good as well. I've discovered that I can finally breathe deeply and sleep soundly. Even though I may feel lost at times, I sense the richer possibilities that life has to offer.
The blue label has disappeared, but the person has not. I will still miss this time. Perhaps one year on some day, I will return again; who knows?
