As a small bitcoin trader, I feel intimidated rather than inspired when watch certain YouTube or Social Media titles or content like "Day in the Life of a Young Millionaire Trader in Dubai" or "Day In The Life of a 23 Year Old Making $10,000 a Day", or "A Day In The Life of a Crypto Trader" etc. They feature young millionaire traders in beautiful places or traders who make thousands of dollars and to be honest, it creates a feeling of inadequacy or distress in me because I am yet to reached those levels of success yet. However, I have begun to avoid them and what I do is to focus on my own trading goals and aspirations. As a small bitcoin trader, have you ever felt intimidated, distressed, inadequate or inspired after watching these types of videos or content?
I did not know those kind of videos existed, which should show how much I care about them, however as an example if someone else has a lot more bitcoin than I do, I only think that this is good for them and then I immediately move on.
there are a lot of videos like what the OP meant and I'm sure maybe even in every country there must be someone who makes content like that. In my opinion, content like that should only be enjoyed, there's no need to make ourselves feel discouraged and intimidated like what OP experienced.
because the content creators make video content for the purpose of entertaining and only showing their success, and their goal is to get and attract a large audience from the luxury they display in order to increase their income from YouTube or their social media platform.
The moment you begin to compare yourself to someone else then you will always come up short, as there will always be someone with more money, and even if somehow you made it to the very top and no one else had more money than you there could always be some things you could desire you had from other people, and since this does not really help us in our development as traders or investors I do not see the need to use our limited time and energy on it.
yes what you said it is true that when we are jealous of other people's success it will make ourselves feel that we are always lacking and make us not confident. we must remain grateful for our current achievements.
Instead of thinking about other people's stories that are not necessarily the truth, it is better for us to always focus on developing and increasing our trading skills and knowledge so that we can take maximum profits when trading.
