i spent years optimizing for potential. taking courses, reading theory, waiting to feel "ready." meanwhile, people with half the talent were lapping me.

the world doesn't care about your capacity. it rewards your audacity. you don't get paid for what you know. you get paid for the risks you take.

the realest UpOnly clip ever

When ppl claim this I always wonder how they think it happens, or have unrealistic expectations on how much $1bn actually is.

I joined crypto with $200. If I held my initial bitcoin since then and never traded, I would have ~$300k.

If, instead, from that moment I sold the top and bought the bottom of every crypto cycle on Bitcoin, and never paid any taxes, I would have ~$6m USD.

If I put my entire net worth into the Ethereum ICO and never touched it, today I would have ~$150m pre-tax.

While it was definitely possible to have made >$1bn with the opportunities in the market, these versions of reality would also require me to make no mistakes, and have no need to spend $ in real life, or take excessive risk via leverage.

In reality, I grew up in a working class family. I didn’t have a trust fund and I had to pay off my student loan myself. I had a job at Tescos while at high school. After university, I needed to pay rent and fund cost of living and eventually buy a place to live.

I worked at startups for relatively little $ salary, and while a couple have done okay, they still are illiquid and worth nothing until some exit.

Perhaps if I erase a couple of dumb mistakes and drawdowns, or if I had a lil more grind, then my answer would be different today. But it is easy to say this with perfect hindsight vision. It’s easy to see where you could have optimised better, and decisions you made look dumb when the past makes things so obvious.

The truth is I have always optimised for enjoying my life and not going to 0. I never felt like I had a safety net, so it was never possible for me to do anything in any other way. I would probably have less money if I had tried to add more risk or chased $ harder, because being all-in with your entire livelihood is a mental battle and I feel I only win that battle when the stakes are lower.

In writing this, maybe I do understand why CT folks believe this, because modern CT sees crypto as a late-stage lottery ticket farm, where the optimal strategy is to 5x leverage up your portfolio in a hope of catching a good 20% move and then leaving. Or, literally going all-in on the next coin they heard Ansem is buying. So perhaps to them, looking back at the charts, of course that’s what successful folks did.

In reality, I use leverage close to never (and typically to reduce risk rather than add risk — have used it to add risk maybe 3 times in the last 5 years, and maybe 15 times ever). I never go all-in on anything, have only ever done that on BTC and ETH before in the last decade. When I buy other things, I limit risk to tiny amounts, because I treat it as a 0 until proven otherwise (so, always <1% liquid portfolio). Liquid portfolio is also a smaller % of overall portfolio to future-proof against my own fuckups.

Obviously I made a lot of money, I have been here 12 years! CT doesn’t want to hear about “getting rich in a decade” though. I am happy with where I am and have never really cared or optimised for maximising $ earnings, but instead having a nice life that lets me enjoy the game we play together.

[フ ォ リ ス @follis_]

The harsh truth about "making it" is that the further you go on your trading journey, the more isolated you become

How do you tell your irl friends that your stop loss is the deposit on a house

That you make a yearly salary in one trade

At best you're unrelatable

At worst you're insufferable

Impossible to describe what you do in simple terms, so you just say "finance" which isn't remotely true

Half-truths and lies

That shit gets lonely

Proceed with caution

this is the ultimate source of trump’s durability.

most people think resilience is about feeling it but pushing through but trump bypasses the feeling part entirely. that’s how he metabolizes losses, deaths, & scandals. he treats them as narrative beats, not emotional events.

this is highly effective for surviving in high velocity politics & media warzones. he doesn’t process grief because grief doesn’t fit his operating model which is constant forward motion & constant dominance display.

this is a feature of trump, not a bug.
