RE: How Steemit Taught Me Once Again That The Most Expensive Thing In The World Is Ignorance (I Was Going To Say "Stupidity" But I Refrained Myself)

in #steemit7 years ago

Some ignorance is terrible, such as what you describe with people not getting the relationship between SBD, Steem, and the cryptocurrency market as a whole. It's a shame anybody would be worried about you trying to return the SBD to its peg... especially when you are just openly communicating about your personal opinion and course of action.

On the flip side - ignorance (of the right things) makes it pretty easy to avoid all of the FUD. The worst thing is to overanalyze the markets and try to find reasons for all the prices when, like you say in your conclusion, the market is always right and it's probably unknowable, or intentionally obscured from us normal people's view, as to whatever causes things to move.

I think Tim Ferriss coined the term "Low Information Diet" to refer to the practice of actively avoiding the day to day news cycle. Seems like a better and better idea by the day...

We do this in Venezuela, lol. No matter how much we do, everything goes down the well and into misery. We might as well not read the news and avoid getting depressed day to day.

100% agree with that :)
