I have been reflecting on my Crypto life and journey, and after all of my analysis, I believe I have made more mistakes than good decisions
This is primarily due to the fact that I ignored what I should have invested in and instead invested in what I should not have. However, it is the hallmark of almost everyone who has witnessed one or two market cycles. I will not be too hard on myself because I have been blessed beyond all the "what ifs".
One thing about cryptocurrency is that it is easier to focus on your losses because your mind is constantly telling you, "What if you never see the price you had in the past?" This makes you feel as if you have made a mistake and may never have another opportunity. However, if you truly begin to evaluate all of the correct decisions you made, you will notice that we frequently underestimate our successes.
The "Loss" Experience
For example, I began playing Splinterlands at the market's peak in 2021, which was a bad decision. I bought at the peak, and now Splinterlands is at its lowest price ever. Did I regret it? No. Why? I can not buy the experience I have had with anything, even though I have lost more than half of my initial investment. I know that as long as I am here and the game makes better decisions in the future, those days of endurance will eventually pay off.
When things go well, people forget about their losses. When things do not work properly, you remember what you have lost. We all lose at some point in our lives; the only thing we can hope for is that our victories will outweigh our losses. Many people are currently complaining about sticking with Hive instead of Steemit, and Hive has not replicated that loyalty. Aside from looking at Hive Not hitting good figures? How about the friends you have made here, the rewards you have received, and the 2021 bull market?
It is probably important to remember those great times and hope for better days. Things may be moving slower than you think, but that does not mean they are not working, so give thanks, be supportive, and be hopeful. You may be losing a lot right now, and you may even believe that everywhere is better than here. It is the FOMO mindset, and it is acceptable to think this way on occasion.
Money hurts less for someone who has been denied the opportunity to live a healthy life since birth. As long as I can get the necessities and pay my hospital bills, I am fine. At this point, I am no longer a money maximalist, so losing is fine as long as I have enough to get by on. I am grateful. It is difficult to focus on the positive aspects of life, especially when one's happiness is linked to the things they have lost. At this point, I have learned to believe that anything is possible.
Neutrality Brings Peace
This belief makes me neutral.
Being neutral about whether I will win or lose creates a mental equilibrium, because having too many expectations from anything in life can lead to a potential disaster. I've fallen too much in life, so I don't want have the mindset that I'm going to win. This does not imply that I am now hopeless; rather, it means that I have low expectations.
To Hive.....
I am grateful, especially for the lessons I have learned, the people I have met, and the opportunities I have had. True, I may not be as actively involved as I once was due to health issues, but I wonder how I would have dealt with all of the losses I have witnessed over the last three years if I had not had the support of the people I have met here.
Thank you for everything; I will do my best to support, follow, and encourage others. For the time being, I am patching up my health, trying to stay sane, paying bills, and balancing being active, but I am grateful to everyone who has reached out, supported, and continues to check in on me over the last seven months. I am grateful to everyone.
