#Introduceyourself and A Humbling Perspective Into the Psyche and Art of Hedge Fund Management

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

HELLO STEEMIANS!

This is not the most eloquent introduction, as I have not spent as much time writing as I ought to, but here it goes.

As a millennial who found himself with a bachelor degree in geological and microbiological processes, in another restaurant job, constantly lying to “feel better”, an interest in discovering where correlations lie, and toking up on an hourly basis for years—I entered the crypto space sort of by accident while doing research for a novel. I figured out very quickly that the most important risk to understand is yourself, or my layman explanation— the rate at which your thoughts and feelings vary before and after entering a trade. I knew I was a risk taker before ever putting money down in a market because of how I handled previous life choices. Also that I was, on my own, decent at synthesizing my whimsical feelings with a narrative that may be derivative of those feelings [and vice versa], and how to approach the “noise” of an apparatus that will try to sell a solution to me. I found myself with an extreme case of beginners luck mid 2017, considering the cloth I’m cut from, but no book actually prepares a poor kid how to manage the kind of feelings he or she will face being so deep in the money so quickly. After the crash of January and the February fallout of 2018 I was more than a bit deflated, but I did see a silver lining: that I was still “in the green” from my initial decisions nearly a year prior, and with “wisdom credit”, on how, when, where to operate with more discipline. I introduce myself today accompanied by the optimism that I will achieve my goals: to write a novel and to live without fear. Because while I’m alive, nothing will stop my thirst to seek understanding about why I am who I am, and why I do what I do, so that one day I can be of more use and assistence to others.

If you haven’t done so already, check out this soft profile by The New Yorker on Mike Novogratz. Most people here have not had the opportunities this man has, but I believe what is said about his character has much value for anyone who has decided to trade to survive. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/04/16/a-sidelined-wall-street-legend-bets-on-bitcoin/amp?__twitter_impression=true

And I’ll end this introduction with my own personal anecdote: just as trading can be thought of as the art of balancing wealth with purchasing power, it too, can be thought of as balancing mistakes with understanding. Cheers!
