image Join us today (24-Jul-2026) at 8:00 PM IST / 2:30 PM UTC for Bitshala Reading Club We’re in Week 2 of "The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel in the Bitcoin Reading Club. Today, we’ll explore why building wealth requires not only making money but also protecting it, how rare events shape our financial future, why control over our time is true wealth, and how the desire to impress others influences our financial decisions. Ultimately, financial success depends as much on behaviour and psychology as on intelligence or investment skill. Join us in lounge of Bitshala discord server for the session :
