“So, you missed your date again today?” my friend Lao Wang asked me in the bar. I nodded with a wry smile. This was the second time this month that I was late because of watching the market.
That night, Lao Wang told me his story. He was also a “cryptocurrency nailer” until he met his current wife. “Remember my first date,” he said with a smile, “I was watching the K-line the whole time, and I almost missed the most important fate in my life.”
He told me that he almost messed up the relationship at that time. Until one day, his future wife gave him a “dating code”: silent phone, limited market viewing, and focus on the present. “Most importantly,” Lao Wang said, “she made me understand that there are more important things in life than market value.”
After listening to Lao Wang’s story, I turned on my phone and deleted half of the market reminders. For the date the next day, I arrived half an hour early and brought a bouquet of flowers. Looking at her surprised expression, I suddenly realized that this might be my best “investment”.
