bing bing, we have a 🏆 winner!

Interestingly, 3 years ago, I gave two of my nephews 250,000 BTC each. They were older, so I gave them the seed phrase on their cards.

One is a gamer, so he sold his immediately, after the price had crashed, to buy in-game shitcoins and spent them all.

The younger is not very technical so hasn’t touched them (I still have the seed phrases and check occasionally).

The younger one turns 18 in a couple of years time. I might, on his birthday message him the current value of his holding in GBP

The first one who can identify 16 circles in this picture gets 2100 Sats. Good luck. I tried for several minutes. Now I cannot unsee it.

You will never find common ground if your first intention is to be proven "right". If you are too blinded to see other people's points of view over your own, then no matter how pure the intention, if it tramples on the choices of others, overriding their choices and making you think that you are above them, you will never see eye to eye with others. There is no common ground.

Listening is one thing; insisting that your way is the only way is unwise and naive. Failing to see others' views apart from your own is evidence of naivety. Only time and life can teach you otherwise.

You cannot reason with these people if they choose only to see their own world, hear their own voice, and feel their own feelings. The inability to empathise is a journey in itself.

If anything, I have learned as the old expression goes:

>you cannot teach a dog new tricks if it refuses to unlearn the old ones.

In short, your beliefs are so ingrained in you that you ignore others' beliefs and where they come from. Until life teaches you the harsh reality, there is no logic that can teach you otherwise.

My boss told me once: no point arguing - she can argue with herself! LOL

joke aside: I do rule of 3. 1st strike - I normally give people benefit of the doubt. If that still escalate, I'd ignore it. If they go quiet then good. 2nd strike - But if they continue to bombard me, I draw my boundaries. Strike 3 is out - you are out of my environment. No hard feelings, my own inner peace is my priority. ☺️🕊️

What’s up Frens

Definitely.

Today I'm celebrating a one-year anniversary of removing the last 2 toxic people from my life (and removing myself from theirs).

It was my first year of normal life after decades of being psychologically poisoned for no good reason.

To be honest I even suspect real life starts today, because I've now probably finished my psychological «detox» (I think it definitely can take up to a year).

If you could visit the past (any changes you make don't matter in this timeline). What year do you go to and why?

I agree to this . That they understand this right on, is a while different story.

I hope the money was enjoyed somehow and not just hoarded in a Swiss account, like they bought some chocolates or something.

🤔🤔🤔🤔 you don’t say? Is that still "breaking news" 3 years after that news broke? 🙄

A proper risk management plan for you would be: I have never traded before in my life, therefore I will paper trade (not real money) for at least 12 months before I even consider using real money.

But instead you started off with real money, money that if you lost it would hurt. That's greed, arrogance, ignorance, and naivety, all at the same time.

This is the case with almost everyone who does this. But trading is an advanced skill so why people imagine they will be instantly good at it is what kind of boggles the mind.

If you stepped into a boxing ring with a professional boxer, how would you do? If someone handed you a musical instrument you had never played, how would you do? If someone asked you to approximate the solutions to ordinary differential equations, how would you do? Trading is no different, it takes years of study and practice to gain the competency with to not get completely destroyed.

It can be done, but you have to expect to spend years learning, while being able to restrict yourself to a tiny % of your wealth until you have the skill to deploy more capital.

To imagine you can just open an account and be successful at it, that ain't how it works.

Can relate.

We all make costly mistakes believe me! At least you learned, some people never learn. Accept how it has gone, you learned a lot, and just move on. You’ll be fine!

Well it is a sustainable model.
