If you read Day 5 and ask me how I am, I’d like you to know I’m okay. I already moved on. I learned my lesson, paid the “tuition fee”, and now I’m actually looking forward to the next opportunity to make a new mistake, because that’s how I’ll gather more stories to share with you, especially the ones I don’t want you to go through. Half kidding… but you get the point.
It’s Friday, and after banging my head at work all day, I just want to relax with something on Netflix. But before that, let me share a thought: despite the risks, despite the confusing terms, despite the rollercoaster, it’s worth stepping into crypto.
Why Even Bother?
At first glance, crypto looks like chaos wrapped in jargon. Gas fees, staking, liquidity pools… half the time you wonder if you’re learning finance or a new language. The price charts are wilder than your mood swings on a bad week, and yes, scammers are lurking in every Telegram group.
But here’s the truth: every new space that promised opportunity started out risky and misunderstood. The stock market in its early days. The internet when people called it a fad. Even social media when it was dismissed as just a way to share cat memes. Early adopters endured the confusion, took the hits, and reaped the rewards.
Crypto is at that same stage. Messy, volatile, but bursting with possibility.
Risk is the Entry Ticket
You don’t get growth without risk. In fact, I see risk as the tuition fee you pay to understand the system. The “tuition” could be losing a few dollars to a scam token, fumbling through an exchange, or panicking during a market dip. It stings, but it sharpens you. And once you know better, you trade better, invest smarter, and spot opportunities earlier.
And let’s be real: the world is already risky. Your job security? Risky. Traditional investments? Inflation eats into them quietly. At least with crypto, the risk comes with potential upside that could reshape your financial future.
The Rabbit Hole Is Deep—for a Reason
When you go deeper, you realise crypto is not just about tokens and trading. It’s about financial freedom, borderless transactions, ownership of digital assets, and communities built around shared belief in change. The “rabbit hole” is overwhelming, yes, but it’s also exciting—because it forces you to learn, adapt, and think differently about money.
So, Why Step In?
Because even if you don’t “make it,” you’ll learn skills, mindsets, and habits that prepare you for a digital future. You’ll train yourself to manage risk, think long-term, and spot trends before they go mainstream. And who knows? The mistake you make today could be the story that saves someone else tomorrow.
As for me… I’ll keep diving down this rabbit hole, Netflix queued, mistakes ready to be made, and lessons ready to be shared.
See you tomorrow!
