Ok so we all have our idiosyncrasies about crypto. This contest gives voice about the things that you are happy about and the things that you are not. People love to complain, so if you feel like complaining, join the challenge lol 😂. Here goes:

Why I love crypto and blockchain technology?

1. The excitement. Checking my exchange and seeing where I have gained or lost. It's very exciting to gain, very depressing to lose. Even if you lose, you feel like you're alive, due to that thrill-ride feeling.

2. I love that there is the ability to disprove haters. The person that introduced me to the crypto space is a pool guy. One night him, I and this business man were all chatting and the business man pops up and says.. no offence, but a pool guy is trying to tell me about crypto, and purely for that fact he wouldn't invest in it. I have hoped and prayed every day that the pool guy will show up to this guy's house with a lambo 😂. Ofcourse with the great crypto depression, this has not happened yet.

3. I love the community feeling amongst crypto investors. I have made instant friends with people who are even just remotely interested. It's like that feeling when you meet someone who went to the same high school as you.

Oh and to add, I love the creative names coins have. I mean there is a Donald Trump coin!

What I dislike/ What scares me...

1. FOMO driven markets. I wish that this had a lesser effect than what it has. I wish there was a more stable way of predicting the market than using past trends and extrapolating, using various mathematical formulae, future predictions. These are wrong so often.

2. knowing that buying just a few dollars worth of bitcoin in 2008/9 could have made me a millionaire.

3. The stigma around it. I often hear the words pyramid scheme, ponzi scheme and scam when I talk to the general population. Much like the business man which I mentioned earlier.

I nominate @numbnut68 to share his sentiments. #kryptonia
