I knew a few people from 2021/22, when the market was booming, but 90% of them are no longer present, nearby, or available. I am not talking about Hive specifically, but rather about people who were actively farming the crypto opportunities that were available. 

You could literally sneeze and make a couple of hundred dollars; everything had potential profit, and it literally drew people to you. You know, the people who yearn for fame, success, and stinking wealth. There was only one thing that mattered: profit, and when everything went wrong with the crash of LUNA, many people were lost in the industry, and you can not find them.

 You might have assumed that the wealth generated in 2021 would be saved and used to offset all of the crazy dips we experienced in 2023, but this is not the case. 

Crypto can destroy people as much as it can enrich them, and this is not the fault of crypto; it is how we believe the good times will never end while also believing the bad times will never come. A sense of abundance can lead to complacency. It is like living haphazardly in your youth, forgetting that old age is inevitable.


 In the Bible, Joseph predicted seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine and starvation. He instructed Pharaoh to look for someone who would save food during the years of plenty so that people could live on it when the years of famine arrived, so the King assigned him the task. 


## A Biblical Allusion 

When the 7 years of plenty ended and famine struck, other kingdoms around the world were forced to come to Egypt to beg or buy food. Now, you must understand that these other kingdoms also experienced a period of abundance and wealth; they simply did not save enough because they did not anticipate that all of that wealth and money would no longer be available to them someday. 


> **Crypto is similar to this.**

 It creates the mindset that you'll be rich forever, because you're in so much profit, it blinds you to what might happen the next day, week, months or years. Back in 2017, when BTC mooned so hard, we assumed there would be no dips beyond certain thresholds.

 I mean, why should a person who is in the stars fall in the mud? They may fall, but not completely; unfortunately, this is not crypto. Any coin can moon so hard and leave you with generational wealth, or dip so low that you can not even buy a cup of coffee, that is how quickly it can change.


 We did not understand this at first, but we learned from these experiences, which left scars. However, not everyone is capable of bearing the scars left by volatility, which is why you can barely see most of the people you celebrated with in 2021/22. 


Some of these people no longer roll with you because you do not have much money anymore; they probably do not either, and they have nothing to gain from you. They probably do not want to hear you talk about *"buying the dip"* or things like *"be patient, the market will moon again, keep holding"* because they are done and over, and you are just one of those memories they made when there was plenty. 

**Crypto money brings people together in unhealthy ways, and this is one of the topics we do not discuss enough.** It is a secret that crypto often reveals.



## In Conclusion 

In the same way, crypto attracts people who are not ready for the ride. It is similar to how Black Friday will literally attract people who are not intentional shoppers; they are simply drawn in by the price reduction and the potential iPhone 16 they stand to win if they shop for specific items.






 It is like saying stake $50 and earn $1,000 per day; these are the things that entice people to invest in cryptocurrency, and some of these bros will come your way again in a few months; they are literal friends you will make from being abundant, but I believe you are better off sticking with the ones you have been grinding with throughout the bear market. 


I believe the most important reason is that you must remember that the period of mind-bending pump will come to an end, and you must prepare for when it will not be present.
