People cannot fathom distrust for the tech industry like we didn't speedrun "we will create so much abundance to fund UBI" to "actually no UBI, but we will give you tokens and compute instead" to "actually no we will own all the compute and you rent it from us"

I don't ask for much, really. It's just that a teeny tiny dead cat bounce to 70keks would be nice.

now that the bear market has been officially confirmed with the loss of 60k (important for reasons) you NEED to protect capital by following these rules:

- only ape gems from respected KOLS
- take at MAXIMUM 20 trades/day
- reduce hold times to < 5s
- limit screen time to 12hrs

@wasserpest Fukui rules. Probably the only place where I didn't feel like a pest.

The good thing about AI will be that we will finally, rightfully, distrust all images as fake, which they always were and forever will be

@hellojintao You're my favorite shitposter please never retire

Now I understand why $10 million isn't enough to retire

I’ve wanted to tell this story for years. Never had the courage. Here it is.

I turned a presale allocation into $80 million on $OHM. Today I have $500k left.

In 2021, I got a presale allocation in OlympusDAO, then aped heavily myself on top of it. The allocation got me in the door. My own conviction made me go all in. Staked everything. Watched it compound daily. By the peak I was sitting on $80 million.

Then I started spending like the money printed itself.

Private jets to Dubai because commercial felt beneath me. $40k weekends in Monaco. A garage full of cars I drove twice. Watches I never wore. I tipped $5k at dinners just to feel something. Every purchase was a flex for an audience that didn’t care.

The casino was worse. High limit rooms in Vegas and Macau. I’d lose $2 million in a night and laugh it off because the portfolio would make it back by morning. Until it didn’t.

When $OHM unwound, I didn’t sell. I doubled down. Then I leveraged. 5x, then 10x, trying to trade my way back to the peak. Every liquidation felt like a personal insult, so I’d open a bigger position. I wasn’t trading anymore. I was gambling with a different interface.

$80 million became $20 million. $20 million became $4 million. I told myself $4 million was still life changing money. Then I levered that too.

$500k. That’s what’s left.

Here’s what I learned the expensive way:

Unrealized gains are not money. I never had $80 million. I had a number on a screen and the arrogance to believe it was permanent.

Getting in early is a gift. I treated it like a skill. The allocation didn’t make me a genius. It made me lucky. I confused the two for three years.

Lifestyle inflation is a leak you don’t notice until the ship is underwater. The jets and cars didn’t kill me. The identity did. I became someone who needed to spend to feel like a winner.

Leverage doesn’t get you back to even. It gets you to zero faster. Revenge trading is just grief with a chart open.

Nobody at the table in Monaco remembers my name.

I’ve carried this story alone for years. Too embarrassed to say it out loud. But $500k is more than most people will ever hold at once, and I’m done pretending the past didn’t happen. The next decade is about building slow and keeping what I make.

If you’re up big right now, screenshot this. You’ll need it.
