Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

I want to continue to pull the thread from back in the day.

Another book that I'd love to recommend, and I'm sure you've read it, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.

I feel like Jesse Livermore's story, although fictionalized, I've been citing this book so much recently, specifically sitting where I do as a bitcoin advisor where everyone people who have no business telling me when they think they know bitcoin will bottom to like market experts are like oh bitcoin's gonna bottom in october and then i cite the story of the shoeshine man from reminiscences and it's just like guys everyone says that it's not gonna happen right and i i'm curious if you feel similarly around some of the rhetoric we're seeing around like the quote-unquote bitcoin price action of like people who Maybe, you know, in your life who don't care for Bitcoin, but are turning to you and are like, oh, I hear it's going to bottom in October.

Is that right?

It actually makes me feel better and less doomer about where the world is headed and with the hyper gambling, because ev- everyone's hyper gambled for as long as time has existed.

And I'm reading this book right now, and it referenced a quote from Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, which is my personal favorite book of all time.

I only know the book because Tulip King gave it to me.

And there's a quote, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, 1923, and the quote is, "Nowhere does history indulge in repetitions so often or uniformly as in Wall Street.

When you read contemporary accounts of booms or panics, the one thing that strikes you most forcibly is how little either stock speculation or stock speculators today differ from yesterday.

The game does not change, and neither does human nature." It's the same game.
