It's hard to even know sometimes.
Are you even keeping track?
If you are what's the score?
I honestly don't know what i have and where i have it. I probably should keep better track but after a few years in this space it gets very murky.
Money comes and goes so fast that it's next to impossible to know what tokens you have and what price you paid for them. What you invested in a game and what you have cashed out.
Buy some CUB and get the airdrop. Then the price of both crash so was it a win or not?
I have a lot of value in my splinterlands but it was three times higher at xmas. Is it a win or not?
I did sell some hive about the same time and bought a car but that's an opportunity missed to stack more HBD and earn the interest. Opportunity cost?
Crypto is a funny game.
It depends on your viewpoint to see what the score is.
If you take 100K and turn it into a million dollar value. Then it drop all the way back to 250K. how do you see it.
Are you up 150K or down 750K. Do you keep playing or walk away with the win. Try to get it back up to a million or be happy with what you have.
To be fair. Most of the fun is in playing the game and talking about it.
I've lost my stack on the blackjack table many times over the years but you still go back and try it again. I've won a few times as well.
Part of the attraction is the volatility and excitement.
It's not always about the end result of winning or losing. It's about sitting at the table and trying to beat the house.
Trying to outsmart the system.
Trying to walk away victorious.
If crypto went to zero tomorrow i would lose a lot of money. But worse than that I would lose the fun of being involved with crypto.
The sense of beating the system and getting ahead of the game.
It would hurt and it would set me back a bit but realistically i would just go out and have to get a real job a again.
I would miss the lifestyle more than the result.
For me winning is turning up every day and having fun in crypto. Becoming a Leofinance ambassador is exciting. I applied to test Ragnarok when it launches which i'm really interested in. These are where the real wins are. Diving even deeper into hive and it's projects.
Which will in turn hopefully make me filthy rich in the future as an added bonus.
