The South Sea Bubble

In 18th-century Britain, the South Sea Company became one of the most famous speculative bubbles in history.

- Its shares soared
- People rushed to invest

And soon, the excitement wasn't limited to wealthy investors, guess what?

Everyone wanted a piece of it!

What made it especially interesting?

The company had an aura of power, connections and credibility.

People saw important names getting involved

And that made the opportunity feel safer.

The thinking became:
«“Surely this many important people can't be wrong”»

- Then reality caught up
- The price collapsed
- Fortunes disappeared

And people discovered something that still matters today:

- A crowd can make an idea feel trustworthy without making it true
- Markets have changed dramatically since 1720
- Human psychology hasn't changed nearly as much

Sometimes the question isn't:
- “Who else believes this?”

It's:
- “What would make this true even if nobody believed it?”

Imagine you win $500 at a casino

Would you treat that $500 the same way as $500 you earned from working?

Psychologically, many people don't

Once money feels like a “win”, it can feel less valuable or less painful to risk

So someone might think:
“It's not really my money. I won it.”

But it is

The money doesn't know where it came from.

Your brain does
And that's where things get interesting

The same thing can happen in investing:
- You buy an asset for $1,000
- It rises to $1,500
- Now you feel like you're playing with “profit”

So taking a bigger risk suddenly feels easier

Nothing changed about the money
Only the story attached to it changed

2.2.1

Why do we remember embarrassing moments for years?

You can forget what you ate three days ago
But remember something embarrassing you did 10 years ago with painful clarity

Your brain seems to give certain negative experiences disproportionate attention

Then connect it to money:
- You make one terrible investment.
- You lose $500
- You make ten good decisions afterward
- But your brain keeps returning to the one mistake.

So you become afraid to make the next decision

Sometimes one bad experience doesn't just cost you money

It changes how you see the next opportunity

This could lead into negativity bias, loss aversion, and how past experiences influence future financial decisions

1.7.4

Why does paying with cash sometimes feel worse than paying with a card?

Because the act of paying makes the loss feel real

You hand over $50
You see it leave your wallet

With a card, there's no physical money disappearing:

- You tap
- Approved
- Done

The money is still gone

But psychologically, the payment can feel less immediate

And online, it can become even more abstract.

- You don't see money leaving
- You see a number on a screen change.

That's why sometimes the hardest part of spending isn't the price

It's feeling the payment

1.7.2

Why do we look for information that agrees with us?

- You buy a coin
- It starts falling

You search:
“Why will it recover?”

- You find someone bullish

- You feel better

- You ignore the analyst saying the thesis is broken

That's CONFIRMATION BIAS

We don't always search for the truth

Sometimes we search for evidence that makes us feel right

And the more money we've committed, the harder it can become to hear anything else

The dangerous question isn't:

“Am I right?”

It's:

“What would prove me wrong?”

The Behavioral Finance Trap Most Crypto Investors Fall Into

Crypto markets are uniquely brutal for behavioral finance mistakes. The same cognitive biases that cost stock investors 1-2% annually can cost crypto investors entire cycles.

The three most dangerous:

Recency bias: After a rally, most portfolios drift toward the assets that already ran. You end up maximally long at peak exposure. The assets worth rotating into are the ones that look boring right now.

Disposition effect: Selling winners too early because gains feel fragile, holding losers too long because selling means admitting a mistake. In crypto, this inverts your actual edge. Your winners often have stronger fundamentals. Your losers often have weaker ones.

Narrative anchoring: Holding a thesis formed at a different price, different market structure, and different macro environment. Conviction is valuable. Stubbornness is expensive. The honest question is not whether your thesis is still valid. It is whether you would build this position today at today's price.

The fix is not willpower. It is process. Pre-set rebalancing triggers, forced thesis revisits at major price moves, and position size rules that do not require in-the-moment discipline.

Your edge in crypto is not information. It is behavior.

No matter how good the system, once it's handed over to 'human default settings', the long-term chart will look ugly.

First, lock in 5–8 high-frequency traps:
- Overconfidence: The more you lose, the more you want to stack;
- Loss aversion: Holding onto losses way too long;
- Anchoring: Fixating on the entry price and refusing to admit mistakes;
- FOMO: Fear of missing out, blindly following the crowd;
- Disposition effect: Taking small profits quickly but holding onto losses;
- Confirmation bias: Only looking at information that supports your viewpoint.

Write one counter-rule for each bias and stick it on your Checklist; it's worth more than an extra indicator.

The 'Disposition Effect' is the silent account killer. We are psychologically wired to lock in gains to feel a dopamine hit of 'being right,' while we cling to losers to avoid the painful realization of 'being wrong.' In trading, your ego is your most expensive liability. $USDT #Trading #PsychologyInCrypto #BehavioralFinance #bitcoin #PsychologyOfMarket
