There's a force in the universe that makes things happen … and all you have to do is get in touch with it … stop thinking … let things happen … and be the market.

find your center … hear nothing … feel nothing …

Here, you try

… just relax … find your Center …. picture the market Danny … picture it … turn off all the sound … just let it happen, be the market … be the market Danny …

you're not being the market Danny!

Time is all that matters

When I tell my son “not until tomorrow”, I get a reply such as “that’s forever away”! But in retrospect he may be on to something. Lets say I’m 40 years old, and for round numbers take one year as a baseline. One year to me does not seem so long, let alone waiting for tomorrow. As a percentage of my 40 times around the sun, that’s 1/40th or 2.5% of my perception of time and life experience. 2.5% is relatively small. To a 10 year old, 1 year is 1/10th or 10% of their life. My son may be on to something in that tomorrow is 4 times longer to him than my perception of tomorrow.

Let’s look at this perception of time with something more mechanical like a camera lens. A camera lens is really just a filter of light. A telephoto lens (or “zoom in” function on your phone for the younger ones) essentially makes things appear closer and a wide angle lens (“zoom out”) widens the view to show more. A different lens with a different focus gives you a different view.

So my son and I are both right through our own lens of time.

Now for 2 bold bold statements: The Market always goes up! The Market always crashes!

Can you spot WWI, The Great Depression, WWII, Late 1930s recession, Flash Crash of 1962, Market crash in early 1970’s, Black Monday, Dot-com Bubble, Financial crisis 2008, 2015-16 sell off?

Even with all these world changing events, investing through a longer lens of time is your best friend. And I suspect the Crypto Market will follow a similar trajectory.

So, relax a little and be the market. (In any market you choose)
