Investment philosophy learned from Mario Kart Japan's representative, Mr. Kusaan

I like Mario Kart video streaming and I watch it a lot.

Nintendo recently finally hosted an official Mario Kart tournament, but until then, there were only unofficial tournaments with volunteers.

Unofficially, it is extremely large-scale, and the world tournament, which gathers representatives from various countries, has also been held since many years ago.

Japan, which was a victorious army, also gave up 1st place to France and recaptured the lead, which is very interesting.

The person who has been the captain of the Japanese national team for the past few years is Mr. Kusaan.

Kusaan is young at age 25, but he has a sense of calm and composure that is not appropriate for his age.

Mr. Kusaan has sold collaboration goods from Villevin, and T-shirts with lines that Kusaan-san often says are printed on them. (Currently sold out)

Among them are “OK calm down” and “Eh in 2nd place.”

Mario Kart is a game with a high level of gameplay that mixes skill and luck.

The speed of time attack in solo play is also an important factor for increasing the winning rate, but in a 12-player match, fighting such as spinning items is important.

If it's a 6vs6 (roku) team game (with phone calls), the importance of division of roles and communication within the team increases.

Also, the fact that there is an element of “luck,” no matter how far you go, makes this game even more interesting.

On the other hand, Mario Kart is also rated as “the most stressful game.”

Mental control is important in order to keep winning while having fun.

Kusaan-san's “OK well calm down” and “Eh in 2nd place” are very good words uttered for mental control.

I like Marika, so I've been talking for a long time, but I think this can also be used as an investment philosophy.

This is especially important for passive investors like me who assume long-term investments.

When a crash comes, “OK, calm down.”

When I look at people who make a lot of money with individual stocks, active investments, and Bitcoin and FX, I'm “in 2nd place.”

In the case of Mr. Kusaan, he is a top player aiming for the top with world-class ability, so in that sense, he is in the position of a super active investor, but there are things we should learn about Marika's philosophy.

“OK well calm down”

“Eh in 2nd place”

Let's continue to invest for the long term with such an investment philosophy.
