Yesterday, I was watching an adventure movie in which one kingdom was overpowered by another and was certain to win the battle. The opposing nation, which was winning and had already slaughtered a large portion of the kingdom's warriors, set fire to their city, and the loss appeared irreversible.


 The king, however, was still alive in the inner chamber, along with a few other warriors. So the king gave the remaining warriors a pep talk about honor and valor, and they charged into the enemy's frontline, only to be killed within five minutes.

 It now seemed ridiculous that they knew the battle had been lost. Should not they just cut their losses and say, *"Oh, you know what? Let us just escape through the back door, run into the woods, take our wives and children, and never come back?"*

 It still does not seem like the best plan, but it was probably the only one they had. However, the king and his men chose what they did out of honor. 

To the average person, honor may not be as important as survival, but this is how loyalty works. 


## Crypto 

We live in a practical world, and anything that does not appear to make sense on the surface is considered foolishness. Take a look at cryptocurrency; it is not a game of practicality, which is why people buy at the top and sell at the bottom, when it should be the opposite. 

Investing in cryptocurrency should be risky, and it is, but losing money makes no sense, and you want to cut your losses and get out. 

Some projects are secretly admired from afar, but they are actually the result of a dedicated community's efforts. For example, during the last bull run, many splinterlands orcas had net worths of one million dollars, and while it would have been prudent to profit, many people did not. 

Although some of this was due to loyalty to the game, some was due to massive greed, and a few others did not see the massive dip that would follow in the bear market, as well as the decline in the game's quality, but greed was the primary reason.


## Profit Over Anything 


One could argue that crypto is for profit, which is true, but there are people whose loyalty is the reason a project is appealing. 


I came across a comment on someone I follow's post today. The person in question was talking about creating a WordPress plugin that allows for transactions with the Hive Blockchain, and the owner of the post asked the guy if he would not write a proposal to get funding for this, but the person in question was not so interested in proposals, but he was probably more of a believer, and someone who wants Hive to work as well as it should in the long run. 



In reality, there are people who do things for Hive that we do not give enough credit for. Theycallmedan is one of such individuals. On Hive, he is more of a personality, and most people have no idea how much work he does every day for Hive without being paid. When Hive Forked from Steemit, some were only interested in making money, while others were simply looking for a functional Blockchain. 

The pursuit of profit is practical; it appears to be the only logical thing to do for someone looking for massive gains, but there are those who would disagree. 



## Crypto 101

On a larger scale, if cryptocurrency is not 
comfortable most people don't want to do it, there are project that offers beginners the opportunity, but sometimes it's tedious and takes a lot of time, and many do not wants what takes time. This is why you see investment at the top, and selling at the bottom.

 **Crypto 101** is not a difficult course; however, it does not provide a practical playbook. 

It is not the **"5 steps to becoming a millionaire"** type of thing. There are no clickbaits in crypto, only process, time and effort, sometimes you might even be doing the obviously stupid thing, and you know they're stupid things, but you just do them anyway. 

This is what crypto forces you to do, and sometimes you simply question it with your senses. There are no practical choices in cryptocurrency; only risks, dedication, efforts, sacrifices, and so on. You just have to be very deep, even if you risk losing everything. *May the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you*
