I have been in this crypto market for several years and have many complex emotions and memories with it. For those participating in this market, many friends sold their houses and borrowed to invest in crypto when they suffered from FOMO, I saw many people become rich, and others dragged their whole families into poverty and debt. Worst of all, many people seek death to escape the obsession of loss and responsibility.
The majority choose not to participate in this market, but they are also divided into 3 factions by the crypto "demon": the first faction regrets the opportunity to get rich, the second faction continues to be afraid and needs a lot of time to observe, the third faction hates and condemns crypto.
Many meetings turned into arguments about crypto and fiat, many friendships broke down because of some financial investment advice... Honestly, I saw more sadness than joy. Perhaps the majority must lose money for the smaller portion to profit, that is the rule of every market, even though the economy continues to develop in a positive direction.
Right now, when the market has recovered extremely impressively in 2023, many people are so drawn to the market that they check the chart and profit/loss all day long, complaining of not being able to concentrate on work. But I think: I need to work harder to have more money to DCA more crypto. Maybe because I don't have any loans, my expectations are not great and the DCA strategy is generating profits instead of losses. I prefer to follow development and adoption progress of blockchain technology rather than being happy or sad with the price chart.
How are your emotions and mood in this crypto market? Do you expect crypto to be an opportunity to change your life? Or do you look forward to more practical benefits of blockchain technology for the world?
As humans we all have our own specific unique set of character traits so everyone's emotion is going to differ while they are trading, that being said as an individual you need to figure out your own set of character traits and how you can potentially prevent those bad qualities from deterring you in your trading. Some tips I'd like to recommend that have really helped me throughout my trading journey is ..
One is always have a set trading plan, have your entry points, your profit target and your stop losses all set prior to taking that trade
The second thing that helped me is set of rules.. when I was a new reader I had a swt if rules that I followed and it really helped me greatly, if you have to you can print them out, put them on your screen, make notes about them whatever you have to do in order for you to follow your eules
And the third and most important thing in my personal opinion is making sure that you are applying that same emotional control in your daily life
