Fate is the interpretation of character; temperament is the external manifestation of character.
If you have taken the exam for a psychological counselor's certificate, you will have some fortune-telling skills. You can get a rough idea of a person's character after talking to them for a while, and if the conversation goes deeper, you can also predict their future fate.
People with rich social experience can discern someone's heart by observing their form; we call this 'knowing people.'
What is form? Form is temperament. A person's temperament carries their character, and fate interprets character.
I've observed the personalities of those suitable and unsuitable for the cryptocurrency circle and concluded a few that I believe are appropriate.
Extremely cautious and meticulous people. Stubborn and paranoid people. Patient and easygoing people. Optimistic and positive people are all quite suitable for the cryptocurrency circle.
Extremely conservative people, those who are careless with their own and others' money, pessimistic and world-weary individuals, and those who are extremely meticulous are all unsuitable for the cryptocurrency circle.
The day before yesterday, a friend called and asked what I was doing. I said I was watching beautiful women live stream. He asked if I had given any rewards.
I said no, why should I give rewards? Beautiful women are meant to be watched, not to be rewarded. It's not easy to make money myself, so forget it. I just want to keep the moments of fascination in front of the camera. If I translate my spiritual needs into reality, reality won't be able to bear the strong demands of the spirit, and life will show signs of collapse. Moreover, to meet a streamer, if you don't spend hundreds of thousands in rewards, you probably won't even get to see the person. My need happens to be someone else's work, which naturally presents difficulties.
He said, good things are definitely expensive. If I had a billion now, I wouldn't blink an eye spending a few million in rewards; being a big brother would be enjoyable.
I said, even if I had 1 billion, I wouldn't spend money like that. Wasting money for cheap emotions is a sin.
He said, ah, that's why I don't have money; I've lost it all. You should be rational like this, maintaining self-restraint.
For the past ten years, he has been floating up and down. Previously, he had some money in his pocket and spent about 100,000 a month. His Douyin account has reached level 50. He immediately buys what he likes and sells what he doesn't like at a discount. Later, when making money became difficult, he turned to trading coins, resulting in losses of several million. I've watched him through this journey. He is the kind of person who is carefree with both his own and others' money.
Extremely conservative people, such as those who work in banks, civil servants, and teachers, are very conservative and extremely resistant to the cryptocurrency circle. They often respond with disbelief, questioning how such things can still exist and not be banned. They have no intention of understanding it; they are filled with disgust. I analyzed the reasons: they have enjoyed the dividends of this peaceful era, are respected in spirit due to their social status, and earn an annual income of 200,000 to 300,000, which exceeds that of most ordinary jobs. So, never discuss cryptocurrency with these people. If you share your profits, you will face their disdain. When they ask what I do, I say I work in foreign trade. When they ask about my income, I say it's around 120,000 to 200,000 a year, barely making a living. After hearing my basic situation, they clearly feel a sense of satisfaction.
Pessimistic and world-weary people always complain, feeling like how can others be like this. I summarize that they are overly pessimistic about pain but overly optimistic about joy. Their luck is often not very good, so they always want to seize a big opportunity to turn things around, easily tempted by benefits and easily scared by fear. Coming into the cryptocurrency circle can easily lead to ruin.
There are also those who are meticulous to the point of being petty. Previously, I was introduced by a friend to buy cars. We three bought three cars for a total of 3 million. The other party should have made a profit of over 100,000 without any problem. At that time, the weather was hot, and I wanted to buy a drink. I thought the car dealer would bring a few bottles of drinks since this was a big deal. However, he only brought three bottles of Nongfu Spring. My expectations were dashed, and I concluded that this person likely belonged to the type who insists on every little detail. Later, my friend who bought a car was also heavily taken advantage of with an extra 20,000 in costs. After my friend told me, I always felt uneasy about it. Since then, I've kept my distance, although we have maintained contact. He has always said he is interested in cryptocurrency but never bought any, feeling that it's a scam until last year when he suddenly bought several million worth of what he called air coins. I usually don't refer to meme coins as air coins, as they have community consensus; air coins are those that have no real market consensus and are entirely based on a fabricated illusion. When I asked why he bought them, he said they were cheap, and that Bitcoin was too expensive to make any money.
Now let's talk about the personalities suitable for the cryptocurrency circle.
Extremely cautious and meticulous people must understand the logic behind everything. Every problem and conclusion must be clear and understandable. They want to be clear about losing and making money. Such people do not care about temporary losses; they only believe in logic, and once they understand it, they will invest heavily. They are generally not influenced by market emotions. Since they want to buy coins, they will be clear about what they can do and what they cannot control. They will allocate their positions well, and even if one position incurs a loss, it doesn't matter. Such people grow rapidly, never minding the cost of paid learning, preparing themselves for being cut by others or for paying with no gains. They see this as an investment cost, and once they start investing, they will achieve results in one cycle.
Stubborn and paranoid people have their own set of logic and won't listen to anyone else's opinions. Their basic logic is that they absolutely do not follow the paths taken by the majority (which is correct). Hoarding BTC is impossible; trading in well-known altcoins is also impossible. They only engage in what they think is good and not much attention is paid to it. Once they start, they will invest heavily. If they are lucky, they will make a lot of money, but profit and loss stem from the same source, so they will often be taken advantage of. They are overly obsessed with wealth but not with the utility of money. They often experience great ups and downs but will ultimately understand the harsh truth of the cryptocurrency circle. If they are lucky, they can hold onto large amounts of money; if not, they will lead a careless life. They do not have external energy sources; all emotions are self-created and then consumed by themselves.
Patient and easygoing people do not think about getting rich. They have great patience for the cryptocurrency circle and usually just play around. As long as they hear about a good market, they will invest a little money, earn some money, and enjoy life. They do not treat hoarding coins as a future asset appreciation business or think about passing down these crypto assets. They don't mind if they incur losses and enjoy the thrill of trading. When they encounter a good market, they often make a big profit and then go out to have fun. They usually just focus on their own business and won't be brainwashed by the sounds of wealth and sudden riches in the cryptocurrency circle. They have a clear mind, content with earning their share. Such people are also very suitable for the cryptocurrency circle; they won't lose a lot of money and are quite easygoing. Many people are willing to share with these unambitious individuals. Although they are not focused on cryptocurrency, they always manage to receive good news, and when the market is good, they can make money every time.
Optimistic and positive people have faith in the cryptocurrency circle. The big money goes into BTC, while whether to buy other coins is inconsequential. They might buy a little when the market is good and refrain when it's not. They invest their earnings into BTC. They may use 90% of their wealth to buy coins, living a simple life but eager to make money. They are not obsessed with material things, but they feel a joy in the increase of their coins. They don't want to sell coins, as selling them feels like selling a son or their ancestral heritage, which is very uncomfortable for them. They are also quite open-minded about money, not indulging in materialism but focusing on the spirit. They are extremely willing to help newcomers in the cryptocurrency circle and often make people feel comfortable in their dealings.
The above is what I have observed over the past few years regarding the personalities of those who make money and those who lose money in the cryptocurrency circle.
