Around my eighth year in bitcoin the price was horrible and I was feeling the emotions and pressure very strongly.
I told myself “you said you’d Hodl for 10 years when you first bought bitcoin and it hasn’t been 10 years yet”
So I had to Hodl for at least another two years.
When the 10 year mark came I reassessed and told myself I’d be holding for another 10 years.
That was 2 years ago.
So still 8 more years to go before I reassess again.
These little mind hacks work extraordinarily well.
I recommend employing them to counteract your emotions.
This feels more or less correct to me but I’m gonna let the market continue to believe emotionally charged gibberish because I like the counter signals.
How your girlfriend looks at you when you tell her you’re not going to sell your bitcoin just because it’s “going down”. If anything you plan to buy more.
You know that widely held statistic about how 50% of all marriages end in divorce?
Not quite.
About 60% of all first marriages succeed.
If you are over 25, college educated and have low financial stress the number jumps to 80%.
The data is skewed heavily by baby boomers (higher divorce rates) and serial divorcees. Roughly 70% of second and third marriages fail.
Despite current cultural beliefs marriage is good and healthy and on average creates higher satisfaction in both men and women who participate in it.
I was a bad student.
Didn’t do the work, didn’t care, slept in class etc…
Then in 7th grade we were assigned Of Mice And Men in English class and I actually really liked the book.
So I got inspired and wrote a really good paper about it.
My English teacher accused me of plagiarism.
“There’s no way you could have written this”
This infuriated me.
So I stood up, ripped the paper up in her face and called her a bitch in front of the whole class. Lmao 🤣
She sent me to the principals office where they were going to suspend me, but when I got to the principals office I decided to escalate even further and began screaming when I got there.
I remember the shocked looks on the adults that a student would behave this way in their front office.
They murmured behind closed doors for a while and then sent me to third period with no punishment.
I think they must have concluded that if a student was this pissed off about being accused of cheating then it must be because they actually didn’t cheat.
I’m not sure what the moral of this story is, but I’ll tell you this I never fucking put any effort into a book report ever again lol 😂
