the hardest reality of trading (rant)

Summary

Thread Guy delivers a philosophical rant about trading psychology, using the opening parable from Fooled by Randomness about cautious Nero and reckless John to discuss risk, FOMO, and P&L comparison. He says public leaderboards make it hard to stick with a personal strategy and admits he felt extreme FOMO after arriving late to onchain trades and losing money. He also tells anecdotal stories about wealth, status, and the idea that every successful trader has a 'main.' No specific investment recommendation is made.
