"I got a comment form someone who said they didn't understand the market but love the platform."
That was my comment, and to elaborate, what I meant was that I doubt anybody can understand the market.
For me, when it comes to the Crypto market and financial markets generally, I have found Alessio Rastani on Youtube to be the most insightful observer of market movements. And even he will tell you that you must always be prepared for the opposite thing you expect to happen, and be ready to react appropriately, if it does.
"people silo themselves into echo chambers. . . It is our disconnection from each other that allows authority to dictate terms, guide discussion"
Here I completely agree. TV news discussion shows, of all political stripes, are very limited. They are not really discussion shows at all, carefully picking the people they speak to to build a narrative, and maintain only the pretense of a real discussion. They are all essentially propaganda, for one side or the other.
The kind of wild bandying about, and subsequent refining of ideas here, is far more likely to reach consensus, and a plan for moving forward, than all the partisan nonsense you see on TV. :)
yes, it was your comment but, it wasn't actually directed at you. There are many who come to mind who say similar things that seem to go out of their way not to know what is going on . It is just about the market place either, it is a general position of the world. I think you get that though and you are right, most people don't actually understand the market much which is a good reason to understand how even the basics effect people's behaviour here. Sentiment is an interesting phenomena.
indeed.
