You and me; we aren’t like everyone else. We are different. We are the crazy ones. We have gone deep down the rabbit hole of cryptocurrency, and there is no going back after that. Our way of thinking isn’t the same as it used to be. And quite frankly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
You are likely known as the “crypto fanatic” amongst your friends and family. The person who can’t stop talking about how crypto is truly going to be the next thing to not only change the world but also to change your life financially. You have likely pleaded with them to just invest a little money into the market. Something that will help to get them off zero and hopefully finally have everything “click” for them. But as you are already well aware of, more often than not we are ignored. They call us the doom and gloomers who are declaring that the US dollar will become worthless and are predicting one of the worst financial events to ever take place. They view our talk as dreams and hysteria. To them, we are the crazy ones.
However, being the crazy one isn’t a bad thing.
We are early to crypto, and that makes us different. Just like being an early adopter of any new advancement in technology, it can be a very lonely place. Those who were the first adopters of the internet were laughed at. Why would we ever need the internet or need to send emails, when we can just send letters? I’m sure you have heard about that situation before. We are in a similar situation with the adoption of crypto right now as well. While today we are looked at as outsiders, there will be a time when people wish that they had been like us.
After falling down the rabbit hole of cryptocurrency, it changes your way of thinking drastically when compared to an average person.
Paying Attention to What is Actually Happening
Most people will believe what they are told, however, we prefer to look into things much deeper. Doing our own research that gives us our own opinion. Just look back to 2020 when governments around the world, especially the USA, began printing extreme amounts of money. Government leaders and even some of the top financial analysts declared that there would be no inflation to worry about. Then as inflation began to appear, they declared that it was only transitory and would soon go away. Then it was too late, and they had to admit that inflation had become a real problem.
On the flip side, people who are deep into crypto had been declaring that inflation would be a real problem caused by all of the money printing. We were shouting it loudly to anyone who would listen. But, no one did. The people crypto ended up being right before even the top financial analysts even saw the problem occurring.
Buying vs. Saving
The world runs on debt, and people are more than happy to spend money now, instead of saving it for the future. People who are in crypto are well aware of how big of a burden debt can be. In many cases, people will never be able to escape from their debt.
Think about your friend group. Many of your friends will likely spend their money just as quickly as they receive it. Buying things they don’t need. Living in a house they cannot afford, owning a car that is too expensive, impulse purchases, the newest fashion, video games, and going on luxurious trips. They will use credit cards and spend money that they don’t have, which puts them even further into debt.
Now think about yourself. You have gone down the rabbit hole of investing and crypto and that has likely completely changed how you think about money and spending. Perhaps you even get more satisfaction out of not buying that new item and instead investing it. The key thing is that we have begun to think about everything in a longer timeframe, while your friends are only thinking about today.
Thinking About The Future
This is a continuation of the last section, but another key difference is that crypto investors are thinking about the future. Saving for their retirement, how to build up new income-earning avenues, and what is coming next.
Most of the problems that we currently see in society today, Bitcoiners have been warning about for years.
The world has recently learned how painful inflation can be, but that was one of the main reasons that Bitcoin was originally created.
Being able to actually own your assets that are trustless. Money in the bank technically isn’t yours. Your ability to send, purchase and withdraw money can be revoked at any moment. In fact, this ability could be used to control you in the future. Something that we are already seeing in China with social credit scores. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency if held properly is the only asset that you can truly own, that cannot be seized or stolen by anyone. The only one that you can use and send to anyone you want, anywhere in the world at any time. It’s an extremely important tool for preserving your freedom. The people in crypto can already see this fact today. However, everyone else will learn this when it is already too late.
How about you? In what ways are people in crypto different from regular people?
As always, thank you for reading!
