Survivorship bias is a great way to put it. People see others getting rich overnight every day and forget how many ended up dead on the beach.
The real value of reading is that discernment it gives you. Otherwise, retail investors will always be retail investors.
People who got rich by luck never bothered with reading. The more they read, the more foolish they feel.
This theory hits even harder in crypto. People without knowledge are forever chasing pumps and selling bottoms.
That's spot on. The power of choice is key, but most people simply don't deserve to have it.
Survivorship bias is a great point—you see people bragging about their all-in bets and how much they made every day, but nobody talks about those who lost it all.
Reading really isn't fancy stuff—it just keeps you from getting rekt as a bag holder.
Put simply, your outcome in crypto is completely different depending on whether you have knowledge or not.
If you actually believe that narrative, you'll get liquidated down to your underwear eventually.
The difference between having critical thinking and being clueless when entering this space is huge.
The clearer your cognition, the lower your probability of getting scammed—it's really that simple.
You see so many people who haven't studied, can't even spot basic risks.
I agree with the point about choice/agency—that's exactly how it works.
仮想通貨界には運だけで一攫千金を狙う人もいるが、これはしばしば生存者バイアスの影響である。誰もがその富の高速列車に乗れるわけではないので、「読書は無駄だ」と煽る人を見かけたら警戒すべきだ。このような論調は最も人を騙しやすい。
結局、読書の価値は二つの側面に集約される。一つは内面のシステムをアップグレードすること——思考をより明晰にし、認知をより広く、判断力をより強くすること。もう一つは真の選択権を掌握すること——チャンスが訪れたときに、それを見極めて掴むことができるようになることだ。暗号市場においては、特にその重要性が増す。
