The Reasons Why Your Intentions Towards Crypto Aren't Sustainable.
Everyone is still busy figuring out their Financial resolutions for the new year, many wants to be frugal, a few others wish to own more crypto, I've had the previlege of speaking to some friends who are aiming to own assets in real-time and some just wants to be more consistent in posting and being better members of the hive ecosystem.
Resolution makes people intentional for some certain period of time, the urge to remain intentional throughout let's say a span of 365 days which a resolution is supposed to last is hardly obtainable, this is why resolution makes people intentional, it hardly makes them consistent. Let's take a look at the blockchain, HIVE.
It is a community that uses buzz, FOMO and herd mentality to prod people in the right direction, in a right way. A lot of people decides to be intentional towards a financial prospect, not because they know this by themselves but because they've been influenced or intimidated to be intentional.
Aiming For Stability $$$
Being intentional is not the Only ingredient to stability and results. A lot of people realize that they're broke. They probably know they need to work hard, but this knowledge only creates an energy, a buzz which is killed when people settle into their different elements and find it difficult to work on what they've initially set out as resolutions.
Over expectations is why people actually aggrandize their abilities. For example, there's been a lot of price predictions towards hive, some have predicted $100 some, $50, others $10. While this is a possibility due to so many variables, it shouldn't be a reason why a person should decide to be intentional towards hive.
2022 is just like 2021, we will quite make mistakes about money, we will buy the wrong coin, get caught in FUD, invest without taking time to analyze possibilities and this is because we're humans and while entering a new year might make us better, it certainly wouldn't overhaul the skills we have, the way we reason and our disposition towards money.
Same Energy, Same Results
Truth is, life is continual, and during the first quarter of the year a lot of people will begin to see that they've exactly done the same thing they've been doing before. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Many people are always disappointed with the end of some cycle in their lives and this isn't because they've necessarily failed, it is because they've initially hit a peak of being intentional, without being analytically realistic.
In many contexts of life, we've seen so many narratives about people realizing that being realistic helps them find sustainability in most of their individual striving. For example if someone tells me that I'll own a million dollars before the end of 2022, I'll practically hold onto the hope but known within me that it's practically and realistically impossible.
So many people feel that because Crypto has done the unthinkable in the past, that every year of their lives will be unbelievable, and they can buy islands and plan a trip to the moon. Let's take a look at hive for example, even if we noticed an astronomical growth towards the end of 2021 this isn't a proof that this growth will cascade the whole of 2022.
Hive is a testament of building wealth is a systematic and realistic way, this might not be this same with many other crypto out there. However, the point here is that even if crypto can do the unthinkable it's basically important to build one's aim realistically that can forestall longevity and sustainability. Truth is, seeking sustainability requires a lot of work.
I've seen people who have abandoned saving outrightly simply because it's an entire new year, a Whole "new this" and a full "new that". This is to say, that we attach relevance to change due to our Initial intentions, most times the forces of reality has a way of dealing us terrible blows.
Structural, Rather Than Overhauling?
I've seen life, crypto and real-time situations. My first impression when I firstly became exposed to moon, was to withdraw everything to fiat and keep them in my bank account. Overtime, this "fire brigade" approach at saving and relating to unreal money hasn't stopped, but I have built on that approach towards becoming a better man and not totally overhauling that person I was.
Crypto makes people advanced thinkers, if you take a look at some of the biggest players on Splinterlands you'll see that playing the game has made them smarter, more intentional and more inclined to money. I.e, living the ROI dream.
However, this doesn't mean crypto cannot be devastating and this is why it's Important to allow one's intention to tally with an aspect of reality which is Important in building sustainability. Many feels' sustainability is impossible with crypto, but this is because their intentions are not sustainable from the onset.
