At times I think it’s simpler for most people.. the “normies” as they say.High volatility often can equate to high profit..
Look at the lottery system for instance. Everyone KNOWS there’s an astonishingly low chance of winning the pot - yet week after week, month after month, the country pours MILLIONS of dollars into it. Why? Well certainly for more than a million reasons.. but often I think it can be explained by a simple concept:
Sure, they all buy the ticket, gambling, hoping to ‘win it big’… but more often it’s this… where else can you (for a few dollars) buy the feeling of hope?
That piece of paper, that token or coin, that is a symbolic purchase of HOPE. And for a nominal fee, they can sit back and enjoy the excitement that comes with “I now have a chance”, a chance to escape from worries and financial troubles. A chance to be free.
