1. Sometimes when opportunities arise, we don't feel that it's an opportunity.
Especially in investments—investing in web3, because here it can easily be 10 times in one day.
The recent SPK is a case in point.
At 2M, I felt like I should wait a bit longer; at 3M, I thought there were too many trapped positions, it couldn't explode so quickly.
As a result, in less than 3 days, it was 15 times.
Actually, this kind of situation can be managed with weighting. For example, if you still think 2M will drop, then you can invest 10% of your total position; the same goes for 3M, at least 10%.
Although the cost of weighting might not be the best, at least it won't let us completely miss out. The losses are also limited.
In investments—especially in trading, weighting is definitely a very important method.
2. Temptation, rationality, dopamine, environment, values.
Watching the market, watching videos, … all belong to temptation.
Some of these temptations come from leisure, and some come from the environment; when you see it, dopamine comes.
How to change and restrain temptation.
I think for normal people (not using drugs), the fundamental solution is values.
Changing the environment—reducing triggers is one method. But to fundamentally change, we need to refine our values.
Values help us judge what is more important.
Just like when you are sick, you shouldn't smoke. It's because we know not smoking is more important.
Therefore, if our values are deeply refined, even minor mistakes or small temptations can be overcome by our values.
