Year-end reflection: here are the key principles I'm sitting with right now.
1. Ground yourself in rationale first. When you start from first principles and solid reasoning, you build a mental filter that cuts through the noise immediately. Everything else follows from that foundation.

The first principles approach sounds impressive, but there are very few people who actually use it in practice.

I have been using the first principles approach for a long time, but the key is that most people simply can't stick with it.

First principles sounds good, but how many people can really do it in practice? I think most people in the crypto world are still driven by emotions and FOMO, haha.

Nah sounds all right, but very few people actually follow the first rule.

Rooting in rationality is easier said than done. I am currently overwhelmed by various market noises.

Looking at this first principles thing, it always feels easier to say than to do... Most people are still being driven by their emotions.

Well, I agree with this logic, but honestly, most people are still driven by emotions.

That's right, but I think the key is whether you can stick with it. Most people already know these principles.

Hey, isn't this just a more advanced way of saying "think more, act less"?
