I cannot be the same person again. NO

It's not easy to stay calm and remain comfortable once you are into something you like a lot. Look at me, I was generally positive about crypto and tokens but never got into the game. It's been a year and half and I can definitely say that people in my inner circle already introduce me as a coin guy. I am that family member who is now officially recognized as a person to ask questions whenever there is anything about crypto in general. Yes, that's me now in my family. It does not have to be an advice on crypto investment or a serious conversation about what is happening in the space. If BTC is dropping, I am asked why this is happening. I don't know all the answers as a I am myself a beginner.

It is amazing how much time we invest in understanding crypto projects and new technology/terminology. On one hand, I always say that crypto is not a significant part of my life but spend most of my spare time reading about a new crypto project in town. If not, I will be clicking on links that share information on how the space is moving forward. 99% of my podcast/audio consumption is crypto. I rarely listen to any news other than crypto.

All is good under the hood as I am deeply investing myself into the space. But, is this healthy?

Should I go back to be that regular guy who worries about Grammy nominations and movie release dates? Balancing is the name of the game. I don't think I can go back to being the same guy I was a couple of years ago. I cannot unlearn and I cannot be awoke. I don't know if crypto is the solution but I am quite certain that decentralization is one way of responding to global issues that is happening out there in the real world. It sounds easy to me but not for others.

I returned to the office after almost a year and half.

The seats were empty and there were very few people at their desk. I met a good work friend of mine with who I share similar thought wavelength. While chatting, I told him about Hive and crypto in general. I told him how invested I am into these concepts and why I think it is beneficial for him to learn about it. To my surprise, his reaction was the exact opposite of what I expected. Although a technical guy, he was not keen in learning about decentralization or even accepting the role.

That interaction reminded me how comfortable I was in my space while being at home. Work from home allowed me to spend time in my way and in forums like. It means the spaces like Hive where I spend my time is not normal for others. It takes time for onboarding and I can definitely say that it will take a while before the mass is convinced to join.

My friend thinks the crypto space has its benefits but he does not have any background on how the blockchain tech could disrupt internet as we know. I think I will have many more of these onboarding conversations with more people. I know it will take time until all of us realized the value of the tech we are in. People do not tend to go against the establishment and they always think BTC or any other coin as a bubble where people will lose their money. It is tough for others to see the fundamental behind the monetary policy and disruptive tech that is being developed.

Buying tokens and looking for profit is speculative in nature as the price can go up or down. There will be bulls and bears and the market is their push and pull games. It is obviously important to make profits.

The way forward is to reinvest the profit into other projects.

In the long run, we are buying tokens but we are investing into project ideas that can last much longer than the profit we are chasing in the short term. I need to figure what are those long term projects that I want to be part of and spend my time on. Every other individual should treat this crypto economy as an opportunity to experiment their business ideas. The experiment is happening right now and we are running the biggest economic experiment of all times that may reset and reshape the internal economic order as we know.
