I used to know someone who swore he would not marry until he had built a couple of houses, amassed some decent assets, and become ridiculously wealthy. I understand where he was coming from. People from poverty are always scared of their kids or family living the same lives they lived as kids.
Back in the 1990s and 1980s, most Nigerian families married with no savings, dreams, goals, or money.
They married based on vibes, a desire to begin having sex, and the desire to have a large family. So marriage was like an urge to fulfill sexual needs, as well as a breeding program.
On the upside, people loved themselves genuinely and didn't care for material things, so people didn't think if was diabolical to marry without money. In their defense, life was easier, so having money was not necessary.
The person I mentioned was born in the 1990s, so he had his fair share of poverty and dysfunctionality, and he had already decided not to marry until he had everything he wanted.
However, I made certain to inform him that having all of the money he desired causes him to attract the wrong woman; one devoid of substance and a building mentality. This type of woman is already very expensive.
She intends to come and reap all of the financial benefits. This means that you cannot expect her to manage.
Your wealth already establishes a standard, as she has most likely calculated your net worth, and if your financial situation deteriorates, she will likely find it difficult to downsize alongside you.
So I advised him to find someone who loved him while he was still in the trenches, because this type of person would already love him despite his financial limitations, and if he ever became wealthy, the lady would have deserved everything.
It felt like stupid advice, because if he does not make the money he wants due to family obligations and responsibilities, his children will continue the cycle of poverty unless they grow up and decide to break it.
Love, Crypto & Money
Understandably, people won't marry for love, unless their future seems to be guaranteed. To be honest, money is the main star, but love gets all of the credit.
Unlike in the 1980s, no one wants to marry someone with only dreams and no money. It is true that behavior tendencies are what secures the lives of offspring, but some people do it because they simply want men or women to fund their extravagant lifestyle.
So, if you are fortunate enough to find love even when your life does not appear to be going well, you have a true believer through thick and thin. What does this simple anecdote remind you of?

Finding love when you're a nobody is like discovering BTC at 600$, or like buying a coin in its most depressive price. Hive is currently in ont of those places where "loving it" is not as sweet.
Do you see the emphasis on "loving it"?. We don't get a lot of bull posting, because the market aren't looking too friendly. It's not a Hive thing, it's the market generally.
However I'm making emphasis to Hive, because I remembered 2021; everyone wanted to buy Hive and prayed for it to dip, so they can at least get in and make profit. Unfortunately it was just the wrong time for such hopes and prayers.
Broke people struggle to find love, why?
There's nothing exceptionally sweet about loving them; o prospect to become rich, no incoming millions, nothing.
Unless perhaps the people who wants big back sides, and pretty faces, but these too is meaningless and cannot put food on the table.
I posted a comment in the post of someone. They talked about making profit from buying and selling Hive as it dips and dumps. I told them that while these small gains appear insignificant at the moment, we are probably only a few months away from Hive becoming "unbuyable."
You will have $30 and the only thing you can buy is 22 Hive; it will hurt like hell because you are FOMOing in, and trying to buy a pumping coin will result in no profits.
It's typical, people wants to buy what pumps. No one wants to "catch them while they are young" anymore, but this is the only way to actually profit in crypto.
Getting through the depression until new money FOMOs in. You're not going to make it by looking for surety and certainty. There is no other crypto playbook that will work. If you continue to enter the market when prices are already rising, you will be stuck in this space for 20 years without making it.
