A story of unpopular decisions + astrology for 2022, 2023

It was 2021, autumn.

Early autumn.

Everyone was going crazy. Higher valuations, higher prices.

“Buy now or regret it later!”

“Your chance of generational wealth is now. If You miss it, You will be poor forever!”

“Crypto is only going up! Price target 1000000!”

Similar.

I was looking at the astrology coming in the next months.

It didn’t look pretty.

Although afraid that I was making a wrong decision, I sold every crypto I had + the mining rigs that I had used for about 4 years to that point. (By late October and early November 2021 I had sold 99% of it).

If You work in tech, You probably know that usually the physical equipment ages really quickly.

But also close to the top = I was able to sell my mining equipment for pound for pound to the EUR I bought it for 4 years earlier.

(Didn’t sell the absolute top. One thing becomes clear very quickly in the markets, the goal is to make money, not to hit exact tops or bottoms.)

Insane. Crazy. Almost never happens.
