Crypto people really should consider raising a cat. In our line of work—high pressure, nonstop, constantly glued to the screen—cats are like natural psychological therapists.

Imagine you, still staring at the market at 4 a.m., with a cat quietly lying beside the monitor keeping you company. It doesn’t care how many U you have in your account, nor does it distinguish whether you’re a five- or six-figure trader. It only cares if your freeze-dried snacks are stocked and whether your hand has paused to pet it.

That’s the brilliance of cats—they don’t nag like humans, insisting on dragging you out to party or sharing your anxiety. They are pure companions, quietly there, telling you with purrs and blinking: It’s okay, I’m right here. To some extent, this unconditional presence might be more effective than any calming method for us who are under constant high tension.
