RE: FOMO, a constant danger, even if you know about it and have experience!

in Project HOPE4 years ago

For me, it's either the ..."I coulda made more!" syndrome, or "I'm not gonna FOMO-in" (but I end up doing it, and then it drops 30 seconds after I push the buy button. doh!) This was a great article and wonderful topic to choose as it relates to most of us all here as we sit here blogging away, waiting for bitcoin to DO something. I just can't stand this sideways movement. Now it went up 200 bucks. Will it go up more? It may, but this is probably a bull trap to get all the fomo-ed people in, and then BAM! it'll tank and go back down to $6400. I just feel it in my bones.... my right index finger right now is hovering over the mouse which has the cursor right over the buy button on Binance right now as I'm typing to you!! I'm not gonna FOMO in!!! I'm not gonna FOMO in!! no, yes? no...

To be honest, hope you didn't FOMO in there... Amazing to read your comment as well, enjoyable reading! I know the feeling, and especially the I coulda made more feeling is one I know very well. I also fight with the "If I had only bought then and sold then" feeling, for example... if I had bought steem at 0,1 USD, joined in for the fork, and then sold hive on the top and so on. But, that is just wishful thinking and not really possible. But, my brain likes to torture me with such thoughts.

However, FOMO is tough on me, and I guess on you as well! :) Thanks a lot for your commenting, and glad to see that your voting power has grown so much... either you have worked a lot, or FOMO-ed in and gotten more Steem tokens, or maybe you sold all your hive to get more steem... Not sure, but don't seem to remember that you had this much steem before! :)
