FEAR AND GREED: HAVE YOU CONSIDERED ALL YOUR CRYPTO RISKS?

It seems like you've done your homework on crypto. You understand the technology, you've researched the opportunities, and you're ready to move forward.

But there's still that nagging question in the back of your mind: Am I missing something?

Here's what I've learned working with investors over the years: We're not nearly as rational as we think we are when money is on the line.

Our decisions aren't governed by spreadsheets and logic—they're driven by fear, excitement, and cognitive biases we don't even realize we have.

In crypto, this shows up everywhere:

😰 Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) — Pushes people to buy at the peak

📉 Loss Aversion — Makes them hold onto declining assets far too long

🎯 Overconfidence — Convinces them they can time the market when decades of data say otherwise

It seems like the crypto space amplifies these emotional triggers. The volatility, the 24/7 trading, the constant news cycle—it's designed to keep you in a heightened emotional state. And when you're emotional, you're not making wealth-building decisions. You're reacting.

The most successful investors I work with aren't the ones who eliminate emotion—that's impossible. They're the ones who recognize it, acknowledge it, and build systems that protect them from their own impulses.
