Life is a journey to find intersections. It’s about discovering commonalities between two different attributes: what I want to do and what I am good at, what I recognize and what others recognize, and what I have to do and what I want to do. Knowing your identity well increases your chances of success. However, many people focus only on what they want to do. This mindset can weaken the connection between me and others. We live each alone in this world, but not completely alone. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Investing in stocks isn ’ t only about buying and selling shares on the public stock market . One way to invest in stocks is by improving a company’s performance and helping it grow. In fact, this is a more fundamental approach to stock investing . In other words, both trading stocks and managing the company are ways to invest. Buying and selling a company ’ s stock involves trading its shares because stocks indicate that profits will be shared and signify ownership . When a company is well-managed and performs strongly, its stock price rises. The company’s value is reflected in its stock price, making effective management a crucial part of investing in stocks. It doesn’t matter if the investor is inside or outside the company—managers need to understand the core of what they are doing. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Virtualization is practically an extension of reality and, financially, a different way of representing ownership. Ultimately, reality exists in our perception , which we experience and verify. Our senses serve as tools that transfer information from the external world into our brains, where this data is then reconstructed in our perception . The reason we dismiss digital currencies is that we see virtual things as “non-existent.” However, if you think about it, the state of existence varies depending on whether it is virtual or physical, and all information processing takes place within our perception, only providing feedback to reality. In perception, the difference between virtual and real is meaningless. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Effects of Ownership . It refers to valuing what one owns from one’s own perspective. The competition to buy tickets for the Duke University basketball game was very fierce, so the university decided to distribute tickets through a lottery. Some students applied for the same ticket, and among them, the winning students and dropout students were asked about their valuations : the winners were asked how much they would sell the ticket for, while the dropout students were asked how much they would buy it for. The lowest selling price from the winners was $2,410, whereas the highest buying price from the dropout students was $170. The difference was substantial. When asked why they thought so, ticket holders considered the value of giving up the ticket, while ticket buyers considered the value of exchanging cash for it. In other words, possession represented the benefit of sacrificing something else. Value judgments depend on what we own. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

For humans to be born and survive, the world should grant humans the right to possess, that is, ownership, which must be guaranteed. Ownership is a right that has been granted since birth, so it is called an “absolute right.” In the online realm, this ownership is established by setting up an ID and password. When this ID and password match, we can engage in social activities such as online banking or shopping. The password is a personal identifier known only to me. No one else knows it, and when that secrecy is broken, it becomes invalid. However, to enforce ownership online, I must also share my password with the service provider. At that point, the provided password is no longer a secret. There are many contradictions in the world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
