Create a system that lets you take profits on the way up.
Everyone tries to time the top. But when it’s actually the top, you’ll be overdosed on euphoria and think “just two more months.”
Take the profits out and don’t deploy it again.
The most underrated part is how much TIME you can save. In places like LATAM / SE Asia, you can outsource pretty much anything for cheap. Save hours each week grocery shopping, cleaning, meal prep, etc. Use that time to live life.
I really love the anon culture on CT. There are 2 issues:
1. Bad actors can come back easily. Ex. Gabagool coming back under a different anon identity.
2. Some larger accounts have sold. You're not longer following the original guy. Can't prove it, but can feel the tone change
The biggest mistake is thinking you're not good enough. That's loser mentality. How about you write and let people decide? You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.
It always has been.
The biggest +ev in this space is to tweet and to build your personal brand. That gives you reputation, trust, and distribution.
From there you can do whatever you want: Launch a product, protocol, get a job, dealflow for private investments etc.
I was a CT lurker / reply guy for years before ever starting this account. I had the realization I'm already spending several hours a day here. I might as well leverage it into an asset.

Your boy was begging you to build your personal brand 3 years ago.
The good news is it's never too late. There's always room for quality and unique perspectives. Work on differentiating yourself from what A.I. can do.
Good games are hard to make already. Most are 1st time devs & underestimate the effort. Also, some of the most predatory tokenomics I've seen are in GameFi. So, the team can cash out early and development stalls.
Of course, you can't get rich from reading books. You actually have to take action and do shit. Been in business for close to 2 decades at this point and found these books to be the most realistic on what it takes.
My cousin asked me which books to read if he wants to get rich. No fluff, no guru b.s.
• How to Get Rich (Felix Dennis)
• The Millionaire Fastlane (MJ Demarco)
• The Almanack of Naval
• Ready, Fire, Aim (Michael Masterson)
Main benefit it that it already has a library of pre-built templates. Already using this to manage my email inbox more and organize research. Will share more once I'm proficient!
I'm spending a lot of my free time building out A.I. workflows using @getlindy. A lot of platforms out there but they're the easiest for me to use as a non-coder. I'm a newb but already seeing massive benefits.
I don't aim for balance. Instead, life works more as seasons. One year might be focused more on relationships, while another year is more work / financial. Most important thing is making sure I'm not scoring too low in any areas.
Wrapping up my Q3 planning. Something that helps me is divide my life into different buckets:
• Work
• Mind
• Relationships
• Health
• Finances
• Fun
I give myself a score, reflect on each area, and set goals / habits.
