The Making of Raging Bull
Fight or flight was critical to the survival of our ancestors, priming our
bodies for action. Increasing heart rate, oxygen intake and glucose.
Pumping blood to the arms and legs, releasing adrenaline and
noradrenaline, slowing down the intestines and constricting blood vessels
in the skin.
Conscious or subconscious mind? It’s like a $1 plastic cheap handheld
calculator versus a mainframe super-computer; one is “catastrophising”
fight or flight & the other tiny voice is trying to dish out logic.
We have evolved as a supreme species but there remains certain
hardwired behaviours from our ancestors that we can not control. These
behaviours are clearly amplified in the crypto trading markets, wild price
swings driven by raw human instincts, often with no logic, just pure
emotion.
We all have a bull and a bear inside our heads, do we buy or do we sell, is it
fear or greed. Which voice do we listen to?
Facing such dichotomies every waking second of our life presents
challenges making investment decisions, like a double-sided axe.
This was the inspiration behind the making of Bull & Bear.
