Hey guys!
I hope everyone is doing well… and if anyone is not, maybe this text will give you some direction as support…
If I tell you that I already had 2 #BTC and that I paid a little over R$ 10,000.00 (Brazilian reais) for each 1 BTC in mid-2015 to 2017 - I don't remember exactly when... well, here's a story that refers to the title of this text!
I have the impostor and stray dog syndrome (stray dog), that is, I always self-sabotage and think that many things are not for me... and this is not because I want to be like this, it is unconscious, it is inside my head in the subconscious due to everything I have experienced until then and I fight against these points even today, and, at a certain point in my life, I came across #Bitcoin without even understanding what the financial market was - in fact, I will tell another story later where I lost the opportunity to start in the financial market with Petrobrás worth ~ R$ 5.00 in the corruption scandals of the PT and all the other parties in Brazil / returning to the text - I knew very little and this little was the information I acquired from others, that is, that it is dangerous, that it is very volatile, that at the same time that you can win you can lose and that you usually lose!
I mean I didn't go into depth, I didn't study, I didn't seek knowledge and what were the points...
… at that time I bought 2BTC and paid R$20,000.00, I used money from the emergency reserve, and in the meantime the value of BTC had a vertiginous drop where I was losing more or less 60% of the value used (at that time the 2BTC were worth approximately R$8,000.00 of the 20k)… I sweated a lot, because, in my head I was going to lose everything… I told my wife and it was a tense moment.
I decided to hold on to it on my own and bet everything, that is, if it was going to turn to dust, I would let it turn to dust!
After about three months, BTC reacted with a herd effect all over the world and the value rose, but, as I had no knowledge of the market and how many things work in this financial world, BTC reached approximately R$ 12,850.00 and at the first threat of a fall I liquidated everything... I had a small profit, a lot of emotion and then a lot of sadness when I saw BTC's historical highs and knew that the profit could be MUCH HIGHER - just compare it to today - I would be a millionaire!
After everything I went through, I started to study more about the financial market, everything that surrounds it and recently I started working with cryptocurrencies again.
Today, I know what my profile is, I know a little about the market in general, a little about the crypto world in general and consequently the knowledge acquired gives me the basis to enter and/or exit both the financial market and the crypto world!
I know when I want to day trade, swing trade or stay positioned for longer (long)... but this is very particular to each person, because, as I said a little while ago, each person has their own moment in life and their own knowledge (personal, professional and financial), but, the golden tip here is to acquire knowledge by studying about the universe you want to know if you are able and comfortable to work in the financial market and in the crypto world.
The internet has a lot of good content… the community here at #Binance has a lot of good content that can provide guidance for those who are having their first contact with the crypto/financial world.
Speed up your studies with the aim of not missing out on good opportunities and even changing your life for the better… knowledge will always be something valuable and liberating, but you need to start now!!
Our brain, when it expands with knowledge, will never be the same and will never return to its previous size - except with serious mental health problems, but stay healthy as long as you can/can!
I wish everyone good studies and great opportunities!
Hugs!!
