Forty-third Day ·

Reading the Analects, Confucius praises Yan Hui:
A bowl of rice, a ladle of water, living in a dilapidated alleyway.
Others would have been worried to death.
But Yan Hui? Still cheerful and happy.
Confucius added a line:
“This kind of happiness, most people don’t understand.”
Reading this, I fell silent again while looking at the candlestick chart.
Isn’t this the opposite of our crypto world?
Rising makes us happy, falling makes us worried.
In the crypto world, people can’t bear the worry.
Yesterday’s rise, happiness;
Today’s fall, sorrow;
Tomorrow’s sideways movement, anxiety.
Emotions follow the K-line; happiness depends entirely on the market.
If Yan Hui were trading crypto, it might be a different scene:
When it rises, he’s not ecstatic—“Oh, just floating gains.”
When it falls, he’s not panicked—“Oh, just floating losses.”
When it’s sideways, he’s not anxious—“Oh, just reading a book.”
“People can’t bear the worry, but Hui still keeps his joy.”
—While others can’t sleep from worry, he eats and sleeps as he pleases.
Not because he has money,
But because his happiness doesn’t come from the market.
When he doesn’t buy, he’s afraid he can’t buy;
After buying, he’s afraid of selling too early;
After selling too early, he fears missing out;
Fearing to miss out, he worries about chasing high.
A lifetime of “worry,” a lifetime of “anxiety.”
And Yan Hui?
A bowl of rice, a ladle of water, that’s enough.
Anything extra is a surprise.
Can we learn from this?
Making money on a coin is a surprise;
Losing money is experience;
Missing out is fate;
Selling too early is destiny.
It’s not about lying flat,
It’s about reclaiming your happiness from the market.
Forty-third day, still at the card table—that’s winning.
Don’t let the K-line also take your happiness away.
