Catch "her" while she's young
I used to know someone who swore he would not marry until he had built a couple of houses, amassed some decent assets, and become ridiculously wealthy. I understand where he was coming from. People from poverty are always scared of their kids or family living the same lives they lived as kids.
Back in the 1990s and 1980s, most Nigerian families married with no savings, dreams, goals, or money.
They married based on vibes, a desire to begin having sex, and the desire to have a large family. So marriage was like an urge to fulfill sexual needs, as well as a breeding program.
On the upside, people loved themselves genuinely and didn't care for material things, so people didn't think if was diabolical to marry without money. In their defense, life was easier, so having money was not necessary.
The person I mentioned was born in the 1990s, so he had his fair share of poverty and dysfunctionality, and he had already decided not to marry until he had everything he wanted.
However, I made certain to inform him that having all of the money he desired causes him to attract the wrong woman; one devoid of substance and a building mentality. This type of woman is already very expensive.
She intends to come and reap all of the financial benefits. This means that you cannot expect her to manage.
Your wealth already establishes a standard, as she has most likely calculated your net worth, and if your financial situation deteriorates, she will likely find it difficult to downsize alongside you.
So I advised him to find someone who loved him while he was still in the trenches, because this type of person would already love him despite his financial limitations, and if he ever became wealthy, the lady would have deserved everything.
It felt like stupid advice, because if he does not make the money he wants due to family obligations and responsibilities, his children will continue the cycle of poverty unless they grow up and decide to break it.
Love, Crypto & Money
Understandably, people won't marry for love, unless their future seems to be guaranteed. To be honest, money is the main star, but love gets all of the credit.
Unlike in the 1980s, no one wants to marry someone with only dreams and no money. It is true that behavior tendencies are what secures the lives of offspring, but some people do it because they simply want men or women to fund their extravagant lifestyle.
So, if you are fortunate enough to find love even when your life does not appear to be going well, you have a true believer through thick and thin. What does this simple anecdote remind you of?
Crypto
Crypto
Finding love when you're a nobody is like discovering BTC at 600$, or like buying a coin in its most depressive price. Hive is currently in ont of those places where "loving it" is not as sweet.
Do you see the emphasis on "loving it"?. We don't get a lot of bull posting, because the market aren't looking too friendly. It's not a Hive thing, it's the market generally.
However I'm making emphasis to Hive, because I remembered 2021; everyone wanted to buy Hive and prayed for it to dip, so they can at least get in and make profit. Unfortunately it was just the wrong time for such hopes and prayers.
Broke people struggle to find love, why?
There's nothing exceptionally sweet about loving them; o prospect to become rich, no incoming millions, nothing.
Unless perhaps the people who wants big back sides, and pretty faces, but these too is meaningless and cannot put food on the table.
I posted a comment in the post of someone. They talked about making profit from buying and selling Hive as it dips and dumps. I told them that while these small gains appear insignificant at the moment, we are probably only a few months away from Hive becoming "unbuyable."
You will have $30 and the only thing you can buy is 22 Hive; it will hurt like hell because you are FOMOing in, and trying to buy a pumping coin will result in no profits.
It's typical, people wants to buy what pumps. No one wants to "catch them while they are young" anymore, but this is the only way to actually profit in crypto.
Getting through the depression until new money FOMOs in. You're not going to make it by looking for surety and certainty. There is no other crypto playbook that will work. If you continue to enter the market when prices are already rising, you will be stuck in this space for 20 years without making it.

Do you have to pretend to be small?
Well I can't say. This is my principle as a man, and I think it's a workable principle, anyone can make their decisions
Thank God se I never make am yet..
I found the comparison between finding love early and investing in crypto a mix bag but I get your point since I have been in crypto for a few years now, it makes a lot of sense that waiting until everything looks perfect or a coin pumping high is most likely the kind of scenario anyone needs to avoid to jump into a project, its that part of psychology that nobody teach us for investment green is bad and red is good in basic terms as long as its a good project, whether its people only after wealth or fomo buyers jumping in too late the idea of catching them young applies so well to crypto, getting in during those depressive price phases like now feels like the smarter long term play, in my case I dont have cash rn but I will latter down the year to start accumulating some stable coin preparing for the next bear market, its all about long term vision that make things less stressful ✌️ 🤑
No matter the coin or project, if you're buying when it's only pumping, then one's never gonna make it. It's probably the harsh reality.
Building for years is another way to make it. BTC is gone now, and it's only those who bought it below 20k that'll make life-changing money. So it still tallies with the anecdote that it's mainly believers that'll eventually become financially free. It all boils down to time and believe. When everyone is scared, that's when millionaires are made. It's the same with people who are believers in Hive, long-term they'll be the biggest winners because there were there in times like this..
I see how you connected love and crypto here. That's smart enough.
When a man is already wealthy, ladies will be petching on him like birds, because something is attracting them,...by so, you hardly know who truly love you and whose love is because of the money
It's always better to catch them young..when you are are still building
If we also in crypto sees the value on hive now and believe in the future, buying the dip will be profitable at the long run...we don't have to wait until we see the pump before showing interest..
I hope to be one of the millionaires born from hive soon..lol
Yeah, it's a good comparison. I was thinking yesterday and this was how the inspiration came into play. I'm glad that it turned out well.
Honestly this is the time to hold on, there's no way to make better sacrifices than to keep accumulating when the prices are low.
We're almost there, and in a few months time, we'll get there. This cycle has been one of the most testing, but that resolve is the sacrifice and the price we have to pay.
I have never been married, but I agree with the fact that someone who was with you when you were down below would be better. I think its risky when you have money because it attracts a ton of women who will have different goals.
As for crypto, its tough to get rich if you are getting in late. Most of the gains are made by getting in low. I earned most of my Hive, but I also don't have any plans on selling it because I think that Hive has that much potential.
Yeah, maybe you'll get married someday, maybe not, but it's both a every and an exciting experience, so we will see. It just makes sense that money will attract a ton of people for the wrong reasons and this isn't good for something that's meant to last long.
I hope to be lucky someday to make some huge hive purchases, I hope my plans will work out though.
I'm not one to comment on love and marriage having been married twice. I'll pass on a third one thank you! To all of those who have had better luck, I respect that!
Crypto... FOMO... If I could by BTC at $600 who wouldn't be excited? Sadly those days are long gone. I still think it's a deal right now, it won't stay low forever. Hive is a great price right now, the question is will it go a little lower yet? I've been buying up Hive with my HBD right now, it's a good time to do it unless you catch a dip to $0.18.
It's a complicated process, but it's beautiful when done rightly, otherwise. There's really no playbook to how it works, but I have a principle on what I think about marriage, and to prevent people from coming in only for the good times.
I think the people who had the opportunity to buy BTC at 600$ weren't excited either, just like some people won't be exited to buy hive at 0.2 but will kill to buy it at 2$. Unless people see prospects, they're not willing to take risk lol. Qudos for gathering all that cheap hive.
With fake love flying everywhere and people being in your life because what they would gain, I totally agree to catching her young. Most young ladies now do not want to build with a man unlike those days when people married for love
The percentage of people who marry for love are rare. People would rather go where they will not be stressed to go to work, or hustle. Thank God I already know all these
🤣🤣🤣
So are you married?
finest! That pix is dope.
I used to have this mentality of not getting married until i become wealthy but later i realized life is not like that and not everyone will become wealthy... but still it is not advisable to get married without having something, it only causes more stunted growth, being comfortable is a good sign enough to get married and grow with our partner.
Exactly, you cannot "not" have money and you cannot wait to have everything. Just like you've said, being comfortable is enough sign that the time is right. Establish a middle ground is good and that's one thing I've learned as well.
Lol, that was in 2021, I don't have money to buy chicken again 😄
😂
This caught me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jose, buy chicken ooo

Thanks a million, appreciate
Wow man, you have said it all, this is one of the deepest realizations I've had. Thanks for this. Waiting for perfect money means missing real love. Better to grow together than chase gold diggers later. Same with crypto, buy low, not when it’s pumping. I'll keep this powerful advice man
Yes, build together. It's easier for people who has survived horrible things to continue to thrive together, good times alone don't form solid bonds
you're very right on that 💯
I like how you write and way of communicating your thoughts.
Staying with the coin or the guy or lady when it's not looking so promising can be hard but that's how to win big with time.
Yes that's how to win: believing when it seems everyone is doubting, that's how to make it.
I like the title but it's a tweak "Win her heart while she's young"
Despite the risks, I think that's where the best gains are made both in relationships and crypto. For me, it's usually the "no guarantees" aspect of crypto that sometimes make it hard to think and plan really long term. But I'm gradually understanding that the uncertainty is the price to pay for the potential outsized returns.
Not sure how you manage to connect those two topics, but's its interesting analogy. :) cheers !
It's funny when I see people say something like this. Like a staff where I worked years ago, he vowed never to get married without making it first. We argued alot until I had to give up trying to explain my own analysis and yes, I totally understand his point then.
I love the idea of your title and your advice to that guy because the truth is, finding that girl while he's hustling is one good thing. That's one way to actually know who loves you for real and not just for the money alone.
In crypto, this is a perfect analogy, using your experience with that friend to resonate with crypto and for people like us, we need to catch them young now to avoid premium tears later. Lol.
