For the first time in days it seemed like the fog was trying to end its presence. The last couple of days it had been all around, taking all momentum and stealing all the views of what life had to offer from your personal bubble. The appartments around were just gone. If you would happen to live in one you would see only white for a couple of days.
I'm feeling this metafor to how everyone is living in their bubble during these lockdowns which in Holland seems to be half ending tonight. And maybe also I am feeling this metafor to how the crypto markets are doing and what is happening versus what we want to see
The fog just takes the outside world away for a bit.

I remember when I was living in Switzerland it often would be extremely foggy around the city of Luzern. My friends would call it 'the washine machine' of entire Switzerland, because it always would feel like all weather types would come together here and blend in and reign their terror down on the city, giving fog and rain.
But when the sun would come through and the fog would start to pull up, that is when everything would become beatiful.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not having it all too bad with these lockdowns here. My job continues like it normally does but in a different format, the dog still needs his walks and there are enough chores to do around the house in terms of repainting stuff and making sure it all doesn't break down.
But on the other hand you just can feel that you need that adrenaline, you need that endorfine, you need that dopamine. All of these just to feel alive and not have the idea that these years of doing nothing are just 'passing you by'. Happy hormones we call them. We need them.
Maybe that is also the reason why in crypto still keep getting back sucked into the markets as well, even though they have made it long time. The whole ritual of looking at the markets, comparing pairs, drawing lines and feeling the endorfine after a winning move. Is playing poker and crypto trading even that different when you look at that it is still a gamble with a calculated risk in there? It is like getting a certain amount of likes and engagement on something we made. It is like the cherry on top of acknowledgement for the work you have done. And it is addicting.
But apart from the addiction it is also something we all need to also have on some form of daily basis. Getting a compliment, having people notice what you do, and having that successfull trade. And that is what lockdown are not letting us experience.

Not having the Friday afternoon beer with each other to celebrate that we all had a good week and talk about life and bullshit. Not having the ability to make plan and work towards something because we don't know how life will look like in a couple of days, weeks or months. Not knowing if these profits are here to stay or eventually will take all your money. I know from the crypto perspective I am skipping the endorfine part and taking the safe space. Just like I do in life currently, taking the safe route and minding the own business.
The fog is taking away to sight of perspective and I guess we are all more than fed up with it. Hopefully soon the sun will be out and gives us the beautiful sights again from how nice life and everything and everyone around us is.
There is so much to see and do, the fog just needs to go away...
