What does it take to be successful in cryptocurrency?
B*LLLS!!!!
It is not easy being involved in this industry. There are a lot of naysayers out there who ridicule and spread FUD around. They take every opportunity to remind us how stupid we are for being involved in this.
Of course, what moron holds an asset from a price of $20K down to $3K? Does HODLer means idiot?
Whether it is family, friends, or co-workers, the looks are all the same. We are like the obnoxious uncle nobody wants around. Mention cryptocurrency and you banished to the kids' table.
We even have the "experts" of television telling us the same thing. Certainly Warren Buffett knows more than Aunt Sally yet he mocks us too. CNBC and Bloomberg are full of people who will tell us what a farce this all is.
Naturally, we yearn to prove them wrong. We cannot await the day where they sheepishly join the world of cryptocurrency. There will come a time when they will brag about an application they started using that pays them. We know it is just around the corner.
After all, blockchain is in the process of taking over the world. How can these people not see it?
Sadly, in addition to intestinal fortitude, we also require a great deal of patience. World domination takes longer than a few days. Give it at least another week before getting up in arms. The time will come, just not yet.
Unwavering nerves in the face of the negativity is difficult. That voice creeps in: "what if they are right?". There goes the savings account.
How come they do not see what is so obvious to us? Could it be she is still remembers when I was going to be the vending machine king of the Midwest? I know that one didn't quite work out and we ate potato chips and cookies for six months but this is different.
Alas, there are a few nuggets of daylight. Suddenly, someone you work with mentions that he read an article about blockchain. "Look at what Microsoft is doing. That is really smart of them". Holy crap. An opening. Perhaps there might be something to this too.
I cannot wait to tell whatsherface. She respects Joe.
We are all part of something that is very big. It is taking place, with each line of code that is typed out. Every post is something that moves us forward. Each dollar (or EURO/JPY) that goes into crypto is a stab to the present system. We are seeing billions roll into blockchain.
Indeed, perhaps there is something to this.
Major success in cryptocurrency is only for the strong. Our time will come when we will see the onslaught of "I wish I got involved in 2019". Those who arrive 3 years from now will wish they were here today.
There is no need to boast. We are above the "I told you so". Instead, it is with gratitude that I realize what we are creating. The eyes are few yet they are dedicated. We know the masses are always the last to find out. Many of us were part of the trailers when the Internet came into being. Today, we are part of the trailblazers.
Whatever brought us here matters none. The fact we are here is all that matters.
Stay strong. Hold firm. Research and study. We are laying the foundation for tomorrow. Web 3.0 is on its way and we are helping to usher it in.
It is never easy being a trailblazer.
