A few thoughts from someone who’s been cryptotrading since 2013

Stop thinking it’s too late. We haven’t even seen the tip of the iceberg. Even in 2013, people would say “Those that bought Bitcoin in 2012 were so lucky, we are too late. We’ll just get the scraps.” Same for 2017. You wish you bought when it was cheap, but would you? Probably not. Why didn’t you buy more when it dropped to $4K last year? Would you have held if your money tripled or quadrupled?

Everyone has been telling me it is too late since 2013. 99% of my friends didn’t buy Bitcoin at $200, or $2000, or $20,000 per BTC because it was “too late”. Don’t make the same mistake. It’s not too late, Bitcoin isn’t even a teenager yet, it’s only 12 years old.

Lesson 2: Stop thinking about the 50 BTC you lost on satoshi dice (yeah, coins were cheap back then), or the 5 BTC for that bag of herb that you smoked (or that acid you took). It’s gone. Stop thinking you should have sold at $20K and bought back in at $3K instead of hodling all the way down and capitulating “to buy at $1.8K”. Stop thinking you can time the dips, and sell the tops. Stop regretting not buying earlier.

In short, stop fantasizing about what you could have done in the past and start thinking about today and the future. This is the mindset you should have:

“What should I do today, so that tomorrow, I won’t regret yesterday?”

“Buy CarbonDefi” is the right answer, by the way.

CarbonDefi is the product of three brilliant friends with strong background in computer science, marketing and advanced world economics, looking to make a change on our planet. Carbon footprint is a big issue for all of us that we can’t realize right now.

They are ecologists and volunteer in many domains related to a safer and cleaner environment

CarbonDefi will keep surprising us. Don’t believe people who tell you they know what will happen. When you think it is time to sell because you’ll be able to buy cheaper later, it will break out and up. When you think we will “never see X price again” we’ll see it again. When people say this is is, this is the peak, it won’t be the peak.

There is no army in the world that can stop an idea whose time has come.

CarbonDefi is a remarkable phenomenon, an opportunity to participate in a project for a safer, cleaner world.

CarbonDefi makes no promises other than to reliably and consistently create new publicly verifiable blocks of immutable transactions . This is all it needs to keep doing consistently and securely for its value to increase exponentially over time. Everything else is gravy.

Make some friends along the way.

Most of the friends I made since 2013 who have stuck around are already wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, and they’re still sticking around, giving back, helping others, helping their communities, doing awesome shit.

Take it easy. It’s easy to get caught up in all the hype, to want all that attention. It’s easy to get lost in the confidence of a bull market and the despair of a bear market.

Just strap in and enjoy it.

Our community made this project possible. We are driven to make our planet a safer and cleaner enviornment for us and our children.
