What does it mean that we are like cryptos? That's today's thought, now as I think about what I'm writing... I think it means that many times we behave in the same way, with ups and downs and in unexpected ways. We can be volatile, unpredictable or on the contrary very predictable, and sometimes up and sometimes down, like a rollercoaster.

Those of us who have entered the world of cryptocurrencies even superficially look at the graphs that change rapidly almost every day. Sometimes they follow trends that we expect but other times without us having imagined it, everything falls apart.
Well, our life on some occasions could be reflected in one of those graphs, days in green and days in red. There is everything, right?

There are times when everything is going well, like our earnings, everything seems to be going up, everything is green, there is hope and even euphoria. In those moments we feel rich and lucky, everything we have now is worth more, we think so. It makes us want to make more, more plans, or more investments, that winning feeling corners prudence that seems not to count for much, although we should keep our feet on the ground. But we're up there on the roller coaster, and we still want to keep going up. The bullish moment.

And in life it can happen too. We can receive good and prosperous news in any field, for example, a new job and a better salary. And immediately we think about what things we can buy, invest in a house, buy a car, plan a trip or give some gifts, you have to treat well yourself. We feel happier, richer and winners. The euphoria continues in green.

But suddenly, the crash. Everything turns red, the bearish moment arrives. And now that? Panic can come if we have not been prudent, but sometimes we are not able to control everything, or to know everything, or we are not in a position to take advantage of that moment to buy at the best price when it comes. We go on some social platforms and we also earn less, there are less tips or less promotions and airdrops. We have to wait.

And in life it can happen too. We can receive some bad news that makes everything fall apart, in the market the news also influences the behaviors and those graphs we were talking about. Sometimes we don't even need news, we just wake up unmotivated, with a strange feeling, as if everything ceased to have the same value as before, as if something was no longer worth it. Our spirits plummet, what happened?

There is more talk now about mental health, it is a subject that covers a lot, but just as now we are careful if the cold arrives and we take care of ourselves and wrap up us more, we should also take into account our emotions and feelings. Really it is not easy, as in crypto, we do not always have all the information or training that we would need to understand everything, and sometimes we can only react to external stimuli, to the crazy evolution of those ups and downs.

But what about internal stimuli? It is not necessary whenever some event occurs, sometimes everyday life is enough. Apparently everything is fine, objectively we think that everything seems to be fine, in fact we tell ourselves that we are happy or that we should be. But there are days when we aren't, we disagree with ourselves... something is wrong.

We just have to keep calm, that always, and hope that the fall is not too deep this time, that it is perhaps one of those silly days, it can happen. Breathe, do nothing if we don't know what to do, try not to judge ourselves and let ourselves go without worrying anymore. Think positive and wait for the line on our graph to glow green again, to rise again and to fervently excite us again to remind us that sometimes our lives, and also the crypto market, are like a rollercoaster.
