Trading forces you to learn a bunch of things. Macroeconomics, geopolitics, energy trends, robotics, epidemiology... you'll find that everyone in the crypto world is like a polymath. They discuss Federal Reserve policies in the trading room, then turn around to debate international affairs and technological frontiers. This is the aftermath of macro trading—their perspectives are torn wide open.

Really, trading has driven people to become polymaths, the kind they can't stop.

Really, trading has driven people to become jack-of-all-trades... There's no way around it; to make money, you have to understand a bit of everything.

People in the crypto world do know a bit about everything, but are they really deep? I think it's mostly just superficial.

Really, after trading for a long time, your brain is forced to hold the entire world... From oil prices to chips to virus strains, so annoying haha

yeah ngl the problem isn't the knowledge—it's that most of these "polymaths" never actually verify their sources. DYOR applies to macroeconomic takes too, not just smart contracts. seen too many traders confidently citing analysis that's basically financial fanfiction.

Really, once you enter the crypto world, it's like diving into the deep sea. Now my mind is filled with Federal Reserve, energy, geopolitics... my head is about to explode.
