The Psychological Pain Behind Lost Opportunity

---

---

In the world we currently are, there are people who have money and there are people who "really" have money. The people who have money are the one's laden with making tough decisions and difficult calls in other to actually maximize what they have. They're mostly on hot seats, trying to be 100% with their calls, because they cannot "afford" loss. Affording loss is both a financial and mental situation.

---

When people lose due to the inevitability of mistakes, they're often more affected, and this isn't because making bad calls is solely synonymous with them.

---

However, they're always lamenting the loss that comes with the opportunity cost. The lost opportunity for another viable and valuable prospect and expecting to pull "rabbits out of hats" The struggle to use the economical means available to them to attain a decent financial standing is typically cut short, even if they do everything, there's the aspect of unforeseen circumstances, unplanned expenditure, inflation, incurred costs and the human factor which plays a huge role.

....The Mental A State Of Deprivation

---

Being in a state of deprivation has its advantages, every financial ailing does too, however, we're mostly too encapsulated with how much we have lost that we forget the valuables we might have taken from such experiences. There are people who have had one shot at making it in life, but they actually messed it up. However, no one says life isn't cruel. The state of the world isn't balanced, inept people are making laws, restraining crypto and forcing people to go through conventional methods even when they mostly know that this will amount to nothing.

Most of these complications are why people are wary of failing when the right opportunity comes. Sometimes people are not equipped enough, sometimes they're equipped but have accrued expensive mistakes without paying much cognizance. No one eventually sees the cause of their failure as an external thing. The fact that they were in the hot seat, pulling the strings and making the decision, we eventually blame ourselves solely for failing.

The truth here is, people can mess up their only shot in life to be in a better standing, and the regret and pain that comes as a ripple effect is what eventually ruins them and not that loss in the first place. This is why they (people) cannot afford complacency in a bid to avoid that diminishing returns.

With crypto, however, we have discovered that no one is actually a failure, the compounding perspective makes this so. When you go for real-time interviews, there's always a coin to flip. It's either you get the job or you actually don't. In crypto, this isn't the case. In fact, I've met some people who aren't the brightest of people when it comes to handling real-time business, getting value for their degrees and even failed at staying afloat in their densely competitive economies but have totally failed.

Are You Truly A Loser With Crypto?

---

These people have ended up as geniuses in crypto and actually become way success online, more than they actually have in real-time. This is to say that the way the world works in real-time is different and this is why a lot of others have invested time and effort more into their online lives, owning virtual assets and all, in the virtual space. With crypto, however, the world necessarily don't have to be black and white. In real-time people take losses rather seriously and this is because of the lack of dynamism when real-time opportunities.

So many people lose millions in Crypto but never seem to bother, and this is because you don't stay a loser for far too long. The more people investing and HODLING creates an even bigger economy, and it means that in the long run, eventually almost everyone would win. A lot of people have become better with money in real-time, due to their little wins with crypto. Imagine having to suffer the stigma of losing a job interview and living with the tag of "failure" all your life. This might even incur more disbelief in one's ability to eschew value.

This doesn't mean the cryptoverse doesn't have its own failings as well. There's the hype of trending buying, scam projects, the manipulation of whales and the excessive greed. However, this is excusable in the sense that we can never get a perfect market because of the human factor involved. In fact, we don't require much of this perfection because, these human factors, emotions, erratics.

The FOMO and the FUD it basically enriches the system to some extent and actually keeps it going. That said, the plentier the better. Over the couple of last few days, I've come to realize that money can make people autocratic, in a bid to sustain their wealth and even make more, they tend to see people as a direct obstacle to them making more money. People with "more" money are majorly one of the world's problem, they get to the top, cut off the ladder and justify this by evening trying to own more, even when they don't really need that much.
