Cryptocurrencies have transformed the way we invest. But... are we really making rational decisions or just following impulses?
🎰 Your brain in casino mode
A study from MIT showed that when we make impulsive decisions in cryptocurrencies, the same areas of the brain are activated as when we gamble in a casino.
That is: you buy that token because it went up 20%... and in reality, your brain is just seeking an immediate reward.

⚠️ FOMO is not a strategy
Buy at highs
Entering without researching
Sell out of panic
Follow influencers more than fundamentals
All of this is not investing... it's reaction.
And that reaction is driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO), a very common bias in volatile markets.
🧘 Master your mind, not just the market
To stop being a victim of your own impulse:
1. Define a plan before investing.
2. Don't follow the price minute by minute.
3. Learn before you act.
4. Filter the noise: what goes viral is not always profitable.
