Chit-chat#
Recently, I had many conversations with one of my teachers about life and work.
On one hand, I found that everyone is quite troubled. Life, relationships, and some trivial matters in education are all scattered. Some problems are ones that everyone will encounter; no one can escape them. At home, we always receive an answer while doing our homework. But during the college entrance examination or civil service exam, who will give us the answers?
On the other hand, everyone's mindset is shifting towards not being obsessed with fame and fortune, considering money as worthless. Maslow mentioned that human needs are divided into five stages:
- Physiological needs (i.e., eating, drinking, excreting, sleeping, etc., which are animalistic needs; here, physiological needs are different from sexual needs)
- Safety needs (stable job, sufficient financial security)
- Social needs (love and belonging, i.e., social circles, romantic relationships, friendships, familial ties, religious organizations, and other collectives)
- Esteem needs (achievement, reputation, status, and opportunities for promotion. When these cannot be met, people rely on exams, donations, violence, etc., to prove themselves)
- Self-actualization (the meaning and value of life. "Peak experiences" often associated with artists and musicians)

I missed wave after wave of significant increases; my random operations are not as good as holding BTC for the long term. I woke up to find a considerable drop, and in the morning, I painfully cut my losses, but in the afternoon, it surprisingly bounced back. Listen to advice, it's best to hold onto spot trading as much as possible.
I experienced my first liquidation, which affected my mood. I still can't believe my balance changed to such a small amount overnight. The risk of following trades is much greater than doing contracts myself. So, I can only continue to wait for opportunities.
