Damn, it seems incredible what is happening in the world these months... it is not only that we are in crisis, recession or whatever name you want to give to the global economic situation, it is also that everywhere you look there is a misfortune, another war, another earthquake, gang rapes, terrorism... and it is not that it happens thousands of kilometers away, sometimes very close to home and, although in a globalized world distance is relative, everything seems to be at risk...
Am I going crazy or are we living in general terms the worst season in the last 25 years?
I don't know, I think I'm going to stop reading the news, watching the news and maybe I'll also take a vacation from Twitter... I need to have a positive mind and all this shit doesn't really help much... sometimes I think to run away, sell everything I have in the city and go live in the countryside, with little coverage if possible although we have become so accustomed to being connected that maybe what I get is even worse...
Fuck! If only BITCOIN would start to rise strongly, abandoning this tedious shit range...
I get the anxious vibes as well. Already off all social media, tv, etc etc Youtube was my last addiction, but I managed to get rid of those stupid 'shorts' and am constantly hitting the 'don't show me this channel' button. Now I'm establishing some rules, like charging the cell phone the hell away from my bed and only getting it in the morning after I'm done with morning routine and breakfast. It's crazy, because the first two or three days my brain really wanted to reach the damn phone. Scary!
Wow! You are so strict, does it work for you now?
I'd say yes. I'm still unable to convert the extra time into something productive (making money). On the other hand, the time I'd spend scrolling through news and memes I use somewhere else, like playing with the dogs, stretching, or simply enjoying our garden; also back to playing guitar after a long while. I got really worried when I realized how hard it became to concentrate on harder stuff, like reading a book -- the cellphone and quick release dopamine is probably the culprit.
Know exactly what you mean. We are such addicts! 🤣 Try to limit my exposure too to have more time and space for other things.
I wish we treated smartphone use (social media, meme feeds, etc) with the same attention we treat sugar consumption, alcoholism and tabaccoism, especially among kinds. It's really concerning.
If you stop reading the news, you won't be updated and know what's happening. That's another backdrop.
But then, I think your mind would be at rest.
exactly
Imagine how all these feels for us Greeks when COVID19 landed just when we started recovering from a 10 year intense crisis (except the rest of the madness that follows up to today). Not that there's not even worse conditions in other countries of course but begs the question where the cray shit ends or what comes next. No one knows. We have to keep walking though, preferably with the chin up.
Yes, that's what I thought as well, the attitude in front of the situation is what matters the most normally in order to succeed.
You're not the only one here... It's what I expressed through a couple of posts lately as well.
Oh, and bitcoin will leave the current tedious range, but probably once it gets close to the halving.
Fortunately during such challenging times many will wake up to the relevance of decentralized blockchain technology in the times we are living.
Fully understand what you mean, Eddie. But a lot of the stuff is amplified by news and media being all over the place, sending you push messages on you smart phones all the time. I have limited my news exposure dramatically since quite some time now, only read financial news regularly and the rest comes automatically. Feels better but still you notice there is quite some bad stuff coming together these days. As I hear about this whole Israel thing I also thought „please not one more thing to worry about!“ 🫣
What is even more frustrating for us who invest in crypto is this nerve racking bear market that doesn’t seem to end. But we need to see the positive: it will end sooner than later and we will be glad of every sat and Hive we stacked now. 💪🏻
I think this time, the Bear market can be longer, we have never experienced this situation in the past.
Then we are even closer to its end than I thought. The point when even experienced investors get depressed and frustrated that’s the point where things can only get better. 😋👍🏻
I believe 100% that the next 2-3 years will be awesome. 📈
I agree with you
that's the dream my friend, unfortuntely I'm a retard and haven't manage to become rich of crypto so I can't retire into the middle of nowhere
Me too
Hmm. Should i use the phrase "the one is coming to an end" seeing all these turbulent and calamity befallen the earth. It is the human activities that caused all these. At times I do wonder as to what is going on. There is not nation in the world that is save from this crisis.
Whatever happening now is just pointing the pointer that the world is coming to the end
Buff...you are really affected by negativity man...everything, including the worst things happening, has an end...we just have to resist and survive
can you resist and survive death?
we are living one of the hardest time, humanity will face ever.
Heart touching words. I also think the same. We all are living in such situations.
I would just avoid Twitter because I do think it does rot people's brains. I know my mental health became better after I stopped visiting it.
It is exactly like that, because of the inflation, every person in the whole world is worried and now the way we see that there is a war between two countries and people's lives are also ending there, so the situation is changing. Things are getting worse on all sides.
