About 10 years ago, fresh out of college, I joined the financial advising industry. Your analysis of the human psyche in this real is so true! -and to prove how powerful those emotions are, I as an individual trained in the "real" still fall into the same traps.
What I would like to do, as I have just recently started actively trading again (not just 401k or IRA contributions) is set strict guidelines for each investment. Attempt to take the emotion out of it (good luck right!).
In the mean time, I am just trying to learn as much as I can about the crypto world as I was resistant to it until just recently.
