Mathematics or Emotions - what's your barometer of measurement in decision making?
I've been getting a real education in market movements. I started watching bitcoin closely in 2015. I really got into all the Alt Coins at the beginning of 2017. I enjoy the volatility quite a lot!
I find the psychology of "markets" to be quite interesting. It's the same thing everywhere? Emotions are a governing factor for the majority of market participants. The Elite minority of market participants do not operate this way. It's cold and calculated. Maybe more aptly phrased: "Calm, Cool, and Collected."
There's no choice when you do the math.
This is a sort of paradigm shift in thinking.
It's a dropping of veils of sorts.
It's calculated, confirmed decision making.
Sounds a bit like blockchain and crypto.

Seriously though - this whole topic of consideration from a Macro perspective has got me thinking:
What would the markets look like if every human was aware and responsible for their emotions/feelings?
This is kind of a startling comment and question when we dare to look deep here. It's a point that really gets into the collective psychology of humanity...and that if we are to look at ourselves collectiviely - our decision making processes are mostly obfuscated in a non physical meta fog, that acts like chains of limitation and suppression.
Is it possible that common sense and mathematics don't have to be a 'secret' thing?
or maybe...
just maybe....
it has more to do with the fact that there's a sort of hardwiring that has taken place between a person in their Mind, Body and Being here - it's 3 distinct parts all together as one....and if you're kinda messed up in one part...you don't necessarily know that your off balance. The kicker is this - You don't know, what you don't know.
Hardest thing for me to do has been to create positive habits for myself - specifically with regards to developing a way in which I could utilize criticisms more. Turning my weaknesses into strengths. (There's a lot of stories here - will work on structuring some story shares in future posts).
Since that time - it's been a real journey and exploration into opening myself up to everything. really working on my listening and feeling skills. Where I can now Identify an emotion or feeling movement inside myself. I refer to emotions as the negative ones and feelings as the positive ones. Keeps it simple from a clarification and organization perspective.
Where I'm at now is in a process of refinement with the specifics of scales....like the spectrum range of emotions and feelings...where I identify the experiences with words. In creating an individualized barometer that is specifically defined within myself - it makes it way easy to trust myself in cross referencing....and just overall strength in doing the math in any given moment.
Forget about trading markets for a moment,
How many times are you faced with decisions throughout your day?
How many times is your movement and decision making influenced by your state/emotion/feeling? Where did that influence come from?
This is a topic of exploration I just wanted to highlight here today because it goes real deep into the basic functioning of the world. Recognizing the scope of intensity and influence of our thoughts/feelings/emotions and the best directions of the planet. (Obviously this topic isn't necessarily ground breaking...as many are aware that fakenews exists and that there's a lot of deliberate button pushing...basic impulsing types of programming floating around. ) My opinion is it's an importantly cool topic worth going deeper into.

It's a community I've been a part of in someway or another for almost 11 years - really opened me up to the layers of the mind and the question:
What does it mean to be a responsible human being?
