Great post, you touch on many points, I will highlight a few from my perspective.

Only Supply and Demand move the Markets, Fear is stronger than Greed, which is why the Markets drop faster than they rise. In order to make money in the Markets, you can follow the Herd and you can't listen to CNBC. You have to discovery self, know what your personality is and find a trading methodology that fits your personality, which is supported by a trading plan and traded consistently because trading is a game of probability.

Lastly, regarding Crypto, we are in the beginning stages of witnessing the largest wealth transfer of our life time....the old money being transfer to the owners of Cryptos.
