Modern-day gladiators don’t go out boasting around about their accomplishments. The insider scoop of crypto is something that goes within the nature of the individual. Simply said, you have to be a different beast in a jungle full of apes, llamas, and owls. Humans are the only animals that can use rituals and mantras to counter our biological instincts against a market that is always right.

Value creation over a culture is easy, it goes within the individual nature of the person. Indeed, network effects are just a simple biological construct. Why overcomplicate things and come up with strategic misnomers to persuade a makeshift community?

Get punched in the mouth once and you will quickly realize what “Create value and receive value” actually means. Unequal wealth creation and growth curves are ok, but unequal opportunities will become a thing of the past. When you have new money enter into a system, proximity to power really matters, that’s the basis of the Cantillon Effect. Outperformance is the result of distributional effects for new value creation. Web3 is open to everyone and it is being built to suit everyone’s needs, but remember this, it is not for everyone. The flow path of the value does matter. It is a combination of self-discipline, luck, and all the quotes those Roman and Greek philosophers once said.

You don’t have to make many decisions, just a few good ones. And then… the market wakes up and both price and rewards start rising as a logical reaction to the sudden realization that there is just more value in the system. By solving one’s own problems and freely sharing the solutions, all society has to do is take care of the downside and let the upside take care of itself. Making too many decisions is just overwhelming.

When nobody is looking, that’s when you step ahead armed with the conviction that you can’t have one toe-in and toe-out. Now you are out in the wild ocean and the only goal is to survive, whether you are a whale, a shark, a dolphin, or a tadpole. The bubble will burst, but quality and innovation will thrive. There is no such thing as a crackdown that teaches someone what a true bear market or liquidation cascade does. All that is needed is skin in the game. That’s the beauty in capitulation, they always feel the same.

There is no such tool that looks like a spoon and that goes straight to your mouth building up the calmness that precedes the trading adrenaline. Risk management is the enterprise word for self-discipline. The answer to the innate nature of it remains a mystery in general terms, just like the quest towards finding oneself. Personal experiences urge individual investors to develop an almost instinctual urge to look to the past to learn about how to assess future strategies.

Now, learning how to code is not a valuable skill for joining the work force. Focus on coding can deviate one from the actual problem-solving skills. Eventually, coding will be like reading, part of the culture and available knowledge. In a century when knowledge is power, you don’t have to be a coder to ride the next wave, but it is important to build inner resilience by becoming a good reader.

There is no right or wrong answer. Leadership and reasoning are the key principles behind a risk-managed assessment with probabilistic and uncertain outcomes.
