In crypto, uncertainty is part of the game, but lately I’ve been watching way too many people’s fear of uncertainty boil over into frustration. This has been accompanied by an increasing amount of grumbling in the eCash telegram channel about the XEC price, not to mention all the complaints in my X replies.
I get it, you’re down bad, and your expectations for XEC haven’t just been unmet, they’ve been steamrolled by reality. But as much as I wish I could tell you we’re going to make it, we all know that nothing in crypto is certain.
Yesterday, I happened to come across a video of Elon Musk being interviewed by Sam Altman. Sam asked Elon about fear and how he finds the strength to chase crazy ideas. Elon said:
“Actually, something that helps is fatalism to some degree. If you accept the probabilities, then that diminishes fear. When starting Space X, I thought the odds of success were less than 10%, and I just accepted that actually, probably, I would just lose everything, but that maybe we would make some progress, and if we could just move the ball forward, even if we died, maybe some other company could pick up the baton and keep moving it forward.”
I’m not saying I invested in eCash because I expect to lose all my money and die, but I think it’s fair to say I have accepted a bit of that “fatalism” Elon talks about.
In crypto, we like to joke about max pain. It’s the emotional point where the market is hurting the most people at once. But what if we defined it instead as the maximum amount of pain we can handle? Because no one should invest more than what you can handle if it all goes to zero.
But this article isn’t about fatalism, and I know that’s not why you’re here. You want to know is eCash going to make it?
