MY TOXIC ROMANCE WITH THE KING OF CRYPTO (BTC) 🧡📉
Bitcoin is like that "ex" you broke up with because you thought they had no future, only to find out they’re now a billionaire CEO with a private island. Here’s the story of how $BTC has been playing with my mental health for a decade. A thread. 👇
THE YEAR 2014:
I heard about this digital coin called Bitcoin. It was dirt cheap.
Me: "Magic internet money? No physical form? It’ll be gone by tomorrow. I’d rather buy a burger and get some real value."
The lesson: The burger was gone in 10 minutes. The Bitcoin could have bought the whole franchise. 🍔
THE YEAR 2017:
BTC hits $19,000. The world is screaming. I have massive FOMO. I buy the absolute top because I’m terrified of missing out. 🚀
The next day? BTC crashes to $3,000. I panicked, cursed my monitor, and Panic Sold everything.
I told my friends: "Crypto is a scam! A Ponzi scheme!" 😤
The crypto market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient. If you buy out of panic (FOMO) and sell out of fear (FUD), congratulations—you are a permanent donor to the ecosystem. 💸
THE YEAR 2021:
BTC breaks $60,000. I’m watching the news while crying in a dark room. My wallet is empty, while my "idiot" friend who held is now posting pictures of a new Tesla.
Me: "Okay, this time I will HODL (Hold On for Dear Life)!"
I bought again. I promised I wouldn’t sell.
Then, the headlines hit: "Country X bans mining!" "Elon Musk tweets a broken heart emoji!" 💔
The charts turned into a bloody waterfall. My wife asked, "Our savings are safe, right?"
Me: "Totally safe, honey..." (while watching my portfolio melt like ice in the sun). 🩸🤡
Bitcoin is volatile as hell. Never look at the 5-minute charts if you have a weak heart. BTC is for those with a long-term vision, not for those who want to be millionaires before their pizza delivery arrives. 📉➡️📈
