Ramble: Crypto and the search for wealth

We're all here for the same thing, aren't we?

All of us in the crypto community might come from different countries, backgrounds, lifestyles. But at the end of the day, we've all come together for one thing: monetary gain.

While I'm sure that most of us have stayed because of the potential tech, as well as the potential future that might arise from cryptocurrencies, the thing that caught our interest was the chance to have wealth.

Some people may say that this is a selfish reason to partake in risky investments, and I myself have felt that I made a mistake in getting into crypto. With all its ups and downs, having the idea of becoming rich in the back of your mind while your funds are dropping (or growing) can be mentally stressful.

Still, I think it's important to take this into account. While it's easy to ignore this fact and tell oneself that “you're here for the tech” or something of that note, having the knowledge of the actual reasons you're invested could allow you to make better decisions when it comes to your hard earned cash.

There's not much more to say, and the point I'd like to make in this short post is to take a step back and learn why we do the things we do. Instead of making reactionary actions, maybe we can learn to make smarter decisions that benefit us in the long run. Emotions are there for a reason, but they can get in the way if we do not understand where they are coming from.

Thanks for reading, and stay safe out there!
