Hello, Master, I messed it up again, “I stared at the black screen of my phone and said regretfully to Old Wang on the other end of the line.
As an early Bitcoin player, I thought I had seen enough ups and downs. But in the face of emotions, I still stumbled.
This is already the third failed date of the month. The first time was with Anan, a high achieving student in the finance department. I wanted to show off my investment vision, but as soon as I spoke, she immediately changed her expression and said, ‘You know, I bought 100 bitcoins at the bottom of 2020…’.
“Do you know where the mistake lies? “Old Wang asked.
“I know, I shouldn’t say specific numbers”
“Wrong, we shouldn’t turn dating into an investment sharing event”
The second date is with Xiao Mei, a designer. I have learned my lesson and decided not to talk about Bitcoin. But when she asked about my job, I couldn’t help but start talking about the principles of blockchain. She nodded politely, but her gaze had already drifted out of the window.
This time it’s with Xiaolin, who is also a programmer. We were chatting happily until my phone suddenly rang with a crazy reminder.
Sorry, the market has been fluctuating too much recently… “I apologized while staring at the candlestick. When I came to my senses, she had already left.
“You, “sighed Old Wang,” can’t you turn off the coin price reminder”
“But in case I miss it”
“There’s always a chance to miss out on the coin price, but if you miss out on someone, it’s really gone”
I fell silent. Indeed, over the years, I have become accustomed to staring at numbers and candlesticks, but I have forgotten that there are more important things in life.
The transfer occurred last week. At a technical salon, I met Qingqing. She is a product manager who is curious about blockchain. I have become smarter this time, putting aside the airs of being a ‘teacher’ and listening carefully to her thoughts.
When she asked about Bitcoin, I didn’t immediately go on and on, but instead asked her, “What do you think the future currency will look like”
We talked all afternoon, from technology to ideals, from reality to the future. Finally, she said, “You are different from other people in the cryptocurrency industry”
“What’s different”
“You can listen to others speak”
At that moment, I suddenly understood what Old Wang was saying.
Now, Qingqing and I have been dating for a month. I have adjusted the currency price reminder to once a day and will proactively turn off my phone in important occasions. The price of Bitcoin will always fluctuate, “I said to Lao Wang,” but there are some things that are more important than volatility.”
“For example”
“For example, when she explains her thoughts to me seriously, like when she makes a cup of coffee for me, like”
“Alright, alright, “Lao Wang interrupted me with a smile,” it seems like you’ve finally come to your senses. Remember, no matter how good the coin is, it won’t laugh at you, and no matter how big the increase is, it can’t compare to the truth”
Yesterday, when we were planning our weekend itinerary together, Qingqing suddenly asked, “Don’t you watch the K-line”
I turned off my phone with a smile and said, “What are you looking at? Your smile looks much better than the K-line.”
