Fall in love with TRYING

[KiaKia]

Keep doing you gotta do and enjoy doing it, but there are many people who do the same thing as others, they never quit and they always take every opportunity available but the heaven doesn't shine blessings on them.

The only better part of taking risks and been open to opportunities is there is a higher chance that things will turn out better for you than those who aren't trying enough like you do.

If failure is all you know after trying all you can, you are still better than those who quit on the half way, make sure you don't pile up regrets. If not trying inside you.

Many people spent years waiting for the perfect opportunity, perfect timing, or perfect information but in reality is the most successful people start when things looks impossible. Not because they knew they will be successful today, but because they understand if you don’t try to strive for your dreams, their chances of succeeding will never come. I don’t totally agree that the difference between successful bitcoiners and others is because they clicked on download, or they where patience but for me I think, luck still play it role. While many downloaded wallets, bought bitcoin and still sold too early because they couldn’t handle bitcoin volatility. The lesson I learnt from this story is that action is more important than endless analysis. If you have a business Idea, learn  the  skills and start. If you want to invest, study how the investment works and also invest with the amount you can afford. trying does not mean you should take reckless risks. The best kind of trying is when you fail many times and every attempt teaches you something that hesitation can’t teach you. Conclusively, those people who always achieve extraordinary results don’t always get extraordinary certainty. Most times they just have the courage to move when others are still waiting for guarantees. Success doesn’t always comes from being right, it comes from when you’re always willing to try new things after many attempts.

In 2010, Bitcoin price was very cheap and people could take risk by buying bitcoins but it was not like taking too serious risk. With $1 people could buy more than 1300 BTC, so risk was not too high. It was only challenging for people like they were ready to spend $100 and lose it or even take risk with smaller fund like $50 or $20.

The challenging part back then was not to buy or take high risks, but the challenging part was to keep holding throughout the time until you actually become rich through it. Imagine buying 1300 bitcoins with only $1 and then Bitcoin reaching $100 eventually. Would you not sell and take profit thinking that you are literally getting $130k from just a $1 investment? And $100 is still a lot, people would sell even if it had reached $10 because why not?

So every person who had bitcoins from the initial days, had access to their wallet, but still kept holding, they truly deserve respect and the wealth they have right now, because it's not an easy thing to do. It is easy for us to say that it was nothing, but we can say that right now when we know that Bitcoin has reached $126k as its all-time high, but those having the assets and seeing the price but still not selling were actually doing something commendable.

So, it's totally true that those who kept trying and believing are the ones who actually got the best out of their investments or even without investments because some of them mined their coins.

There is no harm in trying, though at first, it might seems to tough and difficult for them to scale through but as time goes on, they will find it easy to keep thriving because that is the only way to achieve their success, those that in where they are now, they don't just give up easily in life and they don't also quit when they know they haven't make it yet. So why quitting or gets tired when you want to be successful in life, keeping pushing, love what you are doing because you will actually reach your goal, despite how boring it may seems to be and have a positive mindset.

Maybe there is one dimension of luck when we talk about Bitcoin. If it is 2010 again and you are in your 20s and decide to try and get involved, you are more lucky than the guy who is in his 80s and decides to go down the rabbit hole because this unique opportunity, which Bitcoin clearly is, came up at the perfect time. The beauty about Bitcoin is that almost everyone had the same chance to detect it, it wasn't local or regional and that erases luck even more out of the equation. It's lucky if you are born next to a goldmine that nobody ever detected and you find it while building a sandbox in the countryside. Bitcoin was basically discoverable for everyone. It is just as you said, depends on what is on your mind on a daily basis and that determines your chances whether you stumble upon unique opportunities or not.

We agree mostly and as such I have decided only to respond to you on this last part. I hope that you write more posts in other places. There is a small dimension of luck to anything, and it is large with some things. However, any claims that luck is the primary reason for which someone got very wealthy with Bitcoin are dishonest, or even malicious and rude. I am not one of those people, but I would never dismiss their achievement or success with something meaningless as luck. Bitcoin is unique as you say, as the only real requirement to be able to discover Bitcoin at any time of its existence was to have an internet connection. If you lived in a place where there was no internet in the years 2009 and onwards, well there I could say that you were unlucky. I would not say that people who had internet access were lucky because the standard is never "lucky".

As a child, I read a book about the adventures of Hercules. In it, Hercules told a friend, "A hero is someone who does everything in their power. The vast majority of people don't even do that." 🙋

The majority of the people on the planet right now are fat, so that fact alone confirms that the majority does not even do the basics let alone "everything in their power". There is no need to dig deeper to confirm that they are barely doing the minimum. They are mostly just pointlessly existing, passing time until they die. Their whole existence is meaningless. Let me also put it here: If someone is fat (not due to a real medical condition not bullshit self-imposed conditions), then that someone is an idiot who could not be farther away from trying.

I'm into dancing, so there are practically no overweight people around me. I'm slim and handsome. 🤸At the same time, even overweight people can be very agile and physically strong. For example, one of my school friends could be considered overweight, yet he practices martial arts and moves with the grace of a panther. 🙋

I'm not sure that most people drag out meaningless existences and are good for nothing. Or rather, that might be true, but I try to think positively of the people around me. Every person is a universe. When I walk down the street and look at the people around me, I think that perhaps they are doing amazing things and solving complex strategic problems. They may have a rich inner world. I just don't know about it...

I can only evaluate myself. And there are a lot of things I don't like about myself. For example, right now, there are some dramatic events happening in the crypto industry.  And I'm not sure I'm smart enough to even recognize them. But I need to not only recognize them, but also reconsider my tactics and strategy. And take the right, appropriate actions...🤷

Look at every rich Bitcoiner you know. Cross-check the timeline:

In 2010, he downloaded a wallet nobody asked him to download. He mined coins on a laptop while his friends played Counter-strike 2.

In 2013, when it hit $100, he was called a gambling addict.

In 2017, when it crashed from $20k to $3k, he was called an idiot.

In 2021, when it crashed from $69k to $16k, he was called a cultist.

Every Bitcoiner you envy is a man who TRIED when trying made no sense.

He didn't have a roadmap.

He had a 1% chance and he took it.

That's the only difference between him and you.

When the wallet was free to download, you were arguing on Reddit about why it was a scam.

When the price was $300, you were waiting for "the dip."

When the dip came, you were waiting for "confirmation."

The Bitcoiner isn't smarter than you. Isn't luckier than you either.

He just clicked download. You didn't.

That's the whole secret.

Forget winning.

Forget losing.

Fall in love with TRYING.

And if you try all the time, you are going to lose.

But you are also going to win.

If you try every day, you are going to lose but you are also going to WIN.

Now losing is demotivating to the normie and the wagie.

But losing isn't demotivating to the man who loves trying.

Because he is not in to win and lose. He is in to TRY.

Fall in love with TRYING.

Try that business idea.

Try sending that cold email.

Try approaching that woman.

Try getting jacked in the gym.

The world will never be the same once you live it as a tryer.

This is true for all pioneers of all ideas and eras.

It is not as simple as people think, because it is not about just trying, it is about what comes after you try. If you fail, then there is nothing wrong, you just go back to what you were doing, but if you do succeed, but only do it a bit, then how are you going to move.

I have tried side gigs before, I have a great job, but I needed more money, and I did a side gig with some friends, and I can tell you that it has ruined my life because you work 20 hours a day including your normal job, and if it doesn't go big, then you work for months, even years, and end up with absolutely nothing at all.
