What is it?

The term Sensationality refers to the inclination of the pubescent/adolescent to approach the world as a
source of intense experiences (sensations). This inclination stems from the urges and drives that awaken in this twelve year period. Personal drives become increasingly pronounced in the process. It is the level at which we seek new experiences to satisfy our need for stimulation and excitement.
At this level the world is divided into engaging and not engaging, likeable and unlikeable, ‘cool’ and ‘uncool’.
Even as adults, we are often still searching for sensational experiences. And we continue to spend a lifetime shaping our basic sexual and aggressive drives.
Ultimately, the question is how to transform this energy and make it subservient to our higher goals (sublimation).

In Bitcoin-Leadership this is the relatively short term thinking that we experience when we follow the course of Bitcoin over a month. We are still part of a tribe and we want to be successful in the short term. In terms of time preference we are still dominated by the acronyms like FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt), YOLO (You Only Live Once) or even HFSP (Have Fun Staying Poor).
