RE: A Crypto Trader’s Girlfriend. When the currency is in a free-fall...

in #freewrite7 years ago

Ha, Yes, my wife would agree with all of this. I am doing my best to not talk about crypto in daily conversation.

Sort:  

Hahaha! I bet it's difficult: cryptoworld is so dynamic it is hard to keep it out of conversations.
I am actually quite grateful for our discussions: I'm learning about something new and it is very exciting. But yes it can get overwhelming too.
Especially when we are hodling 😉. The pressure reflects in everything and that's when I know it's time to just be supportive.

Yes, but it's also nice to not have every second conversation start to turn to crypto. I found the best thing about the most recent downturn is that all my short term trades are far below what I bought them for, and so I don't bother checking them more than once in the morning.

That's a great strategy! We also try to find emerging currency and buy it low.
I'm glad the market pull down seems to be a temporary thing - seeing currencies grow is always more exciting.

Yes, definitely more exciting. But it is only gains on paper until you get it out. I did use the downturn to invest in some cheap ETH and some altcoins. But I did have to check with my wife if that was okay. That is always a bit of an awkward conversation to start. But on the other hand, she does realise we have got our initial investment out with profit as well.

So good that you are making it a family decision! I prefer to know where we are in the game so I know how to help. I feel being part of this as well and it gives me an inventive to do research on my own and invest time in my own learning.
I agree sometimes we may not realize a lot that's happening on your guys' journey and we may not know the magnitude of gains or losses. Hopefully we can compensate that by listening and reflecting on your thoughts.

It is only a family thing when I need to use some fiat investment. Otherwise, within the crypto trading/investment itself, she leaves it up to me. But emotional support is always good!

Best of luck in your investments!

Thank you @bengy! All the luck to you as well! Hope to see you grow - it'll be very exciting!
