RE: Are You Committing This Crypto Investing Sin?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Quick tip for learning animation, because you mentioned that you are looking into that: https://www.macprovideo.com has in depth and high quality training videos for different platforms, even if your base is windows. It helped me a ton when I started out as a filmmaker 6 years ago. Especially with regard to editing and animation.

www.cgpersia.com has a great collection of software downloads - a friend of mine used to "borrow" all sorts of editing software via this blog to test it and eventually buy a licence for those programs he would stick with. ;)

About your latest video: I really appreciate your birds-eye perspective on things. I feel there is a relatively huge online community around the crypto market, unlike traditional trading I dare say. The whole subreddit organisation means that everyone who is interested in a coin can just keep posting things about it and reaches a targeted audience, including the devs. I mean, how would you ever get in touch with a chairperson from, say, Adidas or Nike, to ask them about their product. In crypto however you can just contact the devs via discord and ask away. While I deem this very democratic and bearing great potential since it is so inclusive (people won't have to rely on their actual social circle, or move to the banking districts to be in the loop) it is also very dangerous, for all the reasons you perfectly elaborated on. Bringing balance to the hype and the whole hive mentality is an invaluable contribution to the whole market, kudos to you. I imagine the financial incentive for you to do this is minute compared to the gains you make investing - which leads me to believe you're doing it because you enjoy it. So thanks, man! Keep at it.

I'm working with Lynda for now since I have access to it, but thank you for the tips. It's a long journey, but probably worth it. I don't need much - just enough to make some really simple infographic style videos, not complex animations. Going to use mostly precomps.

Unfortunately most people get swept away by story without thinking of valuations or reality. It's easier to get swept away by a story than numbers. Ironically, analysts often must learn the opposite (they get too into the numbers and forget story). Guess it's kind of a left brain, right brain thing. This video likely won't make much difference (because the people who need it most and see it likely won't think it applies to them), but I hope it makes a difference for at least a few people with open minds.
