5 Games and Moments In Squid Game That Remind Us of Our Crypto Experiences and Mistakes
Let’s take a break from serious cryptocurrency investments, cryptocurrency guides and travel guides for a second, even we have to rest too! Instead, have you watched Squid Game on Netflix? If you haven’t, we’re sure you’ve at least heard of it, or maybe you’re sick of hearing it! However, if you wish to watch Squid Game but haven’t, turn the page away now! There are many spoilers ahead that may leave you frustrated like we did when we saw them on social media without spoiler alerts.
Before we start, this is your last spoiler alert!
- Red Light Green Light
Do you ever doubt yourself after investing in a cryptocurrency project that seems promising, but the price just won’t go up? Maybe seeing the price of Ethereum soaring over 20% since 21 September makes you feel bad that you missed out on quick cash? Well, don’t be!
Remember the old man, Oh Il-Nam? Did you ever notice how he was the first to move after the first round massacre, and never once doubted himself until he crossed the finish line? He ignored all the noise from the gunshots around him, stayed patient, and slowly but confidently made his way to the finish line, skipping over all the dead bodies with ease and, most importantly, without being distracted! That’s how we should approach our long term crypto investments; ignore all the short term disruptions and focus on the end goal, have faith in the team behind the project, and trust them to carry you to the finishing line, giving you way more earnings than you would’ve had in short term trading. Instead, if you rush, you may end up like the first two guys, racing to the finish line and end up being eliminated very early on. It’s like how some people may pump and dump huge amounts of money and end up losing when prices dip.
2. Tug of War
After the last part, you may be more inclined to invest in long term projects than short term crypto trading, but now you ask yourself, which projects are reliable? Well, take a look at Gi-Hun’s team in the second game, tug of war! Gi-Hun’s team had solid planning and strategizing to defy all odds to win the game, no matter how big or tough the obstacle(or team) ahead of them. So, before you decide which tokens you want to invest in and hold, you must do your own research first! Look out for the core team, the faces behind the project, what the project encapsulates and what is the end goal of the project. Don’t invest in the token, invest in the team! It doesn’t matter how good a token is, if the team behind them doesn’t know what they’re doing, the token will eventually depreciate and be forgotten about. Conversely, with a good team, a basic starting token can turn into a lucrative investment, and who knows, maybe you can even turn those lucrative investments into crypto cashback rewards when you book hotels on one of our many travel partners *wink wink*
3. Honeycomb Game
Information is key. Without information, any investment is just a gamble. Never invest in something you don’t know about, and always do your research before deciding on what to invest in. With more research and experience, your knowledge on different cryptocurrencies grows, and you can make a better decision. Compare this to Squid Game, where Sae-Byeok gathers intel on tomorrow’s game, and Sang-woo makes full use of Sae-Byeok’s information to anticipate what tomorrow’s game will be, allowing him to make informed decisions that led to him surviving the game.
