The untold story behind Newton!
In 1720s England, the South Sea Company was fueling massive dreams of wealth, with its stock price skyrocketing.
At first, Newton played the market and made £7,000.
But after he sold, the stock price kept surging like $ZEC today—going absolutely wild. Newton missed out and started feeling anxious!
That’s when the famous words of Teacher Zhou Zi echoed in his mind: 'All-in is a form of wisdom.' So, he went all-in! Right at the peak!
Not long after, the bubble burst, and the stock price plummeted off a cliff. Newton was deeply trapped and ended up losing £20,000 in total—roughly ten years of his salary at the Royal Mint.
After this devastating loss, Newton left us with this famous quote:
'I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.'
