> Hashim Yasir, 19, is an NFT project founder and crypto trader who lost “a good amount of money” in the recent crash. He tells VICE that it affected his mental health for some time: “[Up until then] I felt like I was finally getting pretty confident with this new skill, but it really felt like the market was officially going to drop to zero.”

I'm curious what he, and others like him, perceive this "new skill" to be, and exactly what led him to believe he had any degree of control over the outcome.
