Michael Jordan missed more shots than most players ever took
Yet no one talks about the misses, they talk about the titles
Trading is no different
It's not about obsessing over each trade. It's about taking enough shots, managing risk, and letting your edge play out over time
Misses are part of the game. Learn to move on.
Trading is a lot like Chess.
The best players don’t throw pieces around trying to look dangerous.
They protect the King at all cost.
Because once the King falls,
the game is over no matter how strong the position once looked.
Protect your capital at all cost.
It’s the only reason you’re still in the game.

Social media has a lot of you thinking $1k profits a month is small a win.
The same social media has people constantly trying to look richer than they actually are.
This same social media convinced many of you that you need $500k in prop funding before you can become successful.
The same social media made my friend lose an account that was already up over $8k in payouts… all because he thought people wouldn’t rate his progress enough.
The same social media has robbed many of you of the ability to appreciate small wins.
And that’s dangerous.
Because the trader who cannot appreciate growth at level 1 will destroy himself trying to prove something at level 10.
A lot of you are no longer trading to build wealth.
You’re trading for validation.
For screenshots.
For impressions.
For strangers online who genuinely do not care if you win or lose.
Some of the loudest “profitable traders” online are still broke in real life with nothing tangible to show for years in the market.
Social media has corrupted the mindset of a lot of traders more than bad strategy ever did.
The day you stop trading to impress people…
is the day your growth actually begins.
Break out of that mentality early.
It’ll save your trading career.

You might find it surprising how much $CORE I’ve accumulated purely through consistent staking since its launch.
By maintaining a long-term approach and allowing rewards to compound over time, I’ve been able to significantly grow my holdings without active trading.
The future is Bright!!
Read my book, Freedom of Money. From my childhood to founding Binance, challenges we faced, wandering the Earth, stories (from my perspective) about Luna/UST, FTX/SBF, dealing with US DOJ, SEC, going through jail (as the only person in US history to ever go to jail for a single violation of BSA), then full and unconditional pardon, and more...
