I am in the mental health field and study psychology. I was initially dismissive of cryptocurrency and felt is was like "monopoly money." However, as I tend to do, when I dismiss something I get curious and look into the topic to find out if I am correct in being dismissive, or if I am in the wrong. The turning point for me was a conversation with a successful businessman who had been delving into the crypto space and found some success.
I have been reading posts on PUBLISH0X since that conversation to find out more about crypto. I have also been looking into various crypto projects to find out if they have a solid foundation.
In psychology we know that people are want to be dismissive of anything they do not understand. It is easy to hide from our fears and things we do not understand so we can have the illusion of being safe. However, on a long enough timeline we tend to lose out on opportunities for growth (emotionally and financially as well). What I am finding out is that there is a lot of risk (thanks captain obvious) in the crypto world, but there is a lot of solid foundation to build upon.
I am not totally sold on the idea of investing in cryptocurrency as of yet, but it is growing on me.
I will continue to outline the journey of growth and discovery in the process.
