“If you don’t want to make an impression, be mediocre, be normal and fit in. Dress like them, walk like them, eat like them, act like them, go where they go, think like them and once your uniqueness is neutralized you don’t need courage to be different. It takes courage to succeed, it takes courage to win. People don’t talk about people who don’t win. But if you win, then they will talk about you”
– Anonymous (because I don’t remember where I got the phrase from).
Success depends on the ability to differentiate yourself from others, to break with established norms, to dare to innovate and take risks. Most people settle for a mediocre, normal and boring life, following the herd and doing what is expected of them.
These people don’t make an impression, they don’t stand out, they don’t have the courage to be different. On the contrary, the people who succeed are those who dare to be themselves, to express their uniqueness, to create something new and valuable. These people make an impression, they get noticed, they have the courage to be different.
What does this phrase have to do with cryptocurrencies? A lot, in my opinion. Cryptocurrencies are a form of digital money that works in a decentralized manner, without intermediaries, without state control, without censorship. They represent a revolution in the financial world, an alternative to the traditional monetary system, based on paper money, banks and governments. They are the result of innovation, creativity and risk of people who dared to think differently, to challenge the status quo, to create a new way of exchanging value.
Cryptocurrency traders and investors are, in a way, people who have adopted the philosophy of success.
People who are not satisfied with what the conventional financial system offers them, who seek opportunities to earn more, to have more freedom, to participate in a global and dynamic market. Men and women who have the courage to be different, explore unknown territory, assume the volatility and uncertainty of the ecosystem and the crypto market. They are entrepreneurs who want to make an impression, who want to succeed, who long to be talked about.
Of course, not everything is a path padded with rose petals. There are also risks, obstacles, difficulties, competition, fraud, regulations, etc. Because it is not enough to be different to be successful, you also have to be intelligent, informed, prudent and disciplined. Furthermore, we must not forget that success is not measured only by money, but also by other factors, such as happiness, health, love, peace and honor. Being different does not mean being better, or being worse, but simply being yourself.
The phrase that I mentioned at the beginning of the article contains a very interesting lesson applicable to the cryptocurrency market: that success depends on the ability to differentiate yourself from others, to break with established norms, to dare to innovate and take risks, without forgetting that being different is not enough, nor does it guarantee success, nor does it define it. Being different is a way of expressing the uniqueness of each one, of seeking personal fulfillment, of contributing to collective progress. It is a value and although not the only one, nor the most important, at least it is a first step.
