There is something profoundly mystical and, at the same time, tragicomic in the soul of the cryptocurrency owner, that character who wanders between digital wallets and promises of Lamborghinis, oscillating between financial Nirvana and the hell of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Halfway between a visionary investor and an anonymous participant in a self-help club, the “crypto-enthusiast” (or hodler, for the initiated) embodies a modern figure, a digital alchemist who seeks to transform blockchain into gold.
The Soul of Hodler: Between Hope and Chaos
If you’ve ever met a hodler, you’ll recognize him immediately: a mixture of ostentatious serenity and repressed neurosis. He says things like: “I don’t look at the charts every day,” while his left thumb has developed the muscles of an Olympic athlete from updating CoinMarketCap so much. The soul of those who own cryptocurrencies lives a constant internal struggle between two opposite states:
1. Absolute Zen: “Bitcoin is the future. It doesn’t matter if it drops 30% today, I think long term!”
2. Uncontrolled Panic: “I lost EVERYTHING! Wait… no, it’s just a correction… right?”
Owning cryptocurrency is an act of faith, a bit like believing that Wi-Fi is really free in bars. But the owner’s soul knows that this faith can be betrayed with just one notification from Elon Musk.
The Philosophy of “To the Moon”
Let’s not forget the mantra of the crypto world: “To the moon!”. Behind this expression lies a whole world of hope and self-deception. The cryptocurrency owner dreams of a glorious ascent, but often finds himself stuck in orbit, with the gravity of the market pulling him down like an old broken promise of love.
Here's a joke to describe the life cycle of the average hodler:
“Investing in crypto is like dating an unstable person: today they promise you the world, tomorrow they don’t respond to your messages.”
The Battle Against Your Own Ego
Perhaps the greatest challenge to the cryptocurrency owner’s soul is not the market, but his own ego. Saying “I told you so” is an irresistible temptation when the price goes up, but admitting a mistake when it goes down… that’s another matter entirely.
An ironic reflection:
“The moment you explain to your friends why Ethereum is the future, the price drops 15%. Coincidence? I don’t think so.”
Conclusion: An Evolving Soul
The soul of the cryptocurrency owner is a continuous laboratory of introspection. Between the obsession for the novelties of the metaverse and the apocalyptic fears of rug pull (sudden scams), this modern financial warrior evolves, day after day. He is a tragic figure, but also heroic, capable of looking chaos in the eye and saying: “Okay, I’ll buy the dip.”
And you, dear reader, are you one of them? Don't worry, no one is judging you. But remember: the soul of the hodler never sleeps. Maybe because he has yet to figure out the password to his wallet.
