I want to share my $btc Crypto Portfolio Journey more detailed to my $naka , $rio and $trias Fam. And to everyone else who is interested and can learn from it ๐๐ถ๐ป
2017: Started with $5,000, I ventured into the crypto world, acquiring around 30,000 $ADA at $0.18. The excitement of potential gains was noticable.
2018: The bull market propelled my $ADA holdings to $30,000 as it reached an all-time high of $1. The dream was real, but little did I know the storm ahead.
2019: Reality hit hard, pulling my portfolio down to $3,000 with $ADA at $0.10. The volatility was teaching me lessons about market unpredictability.
2020: The COVID crash in March shook the markets, sending $ADA plummeting to $0.02. Amid the chaos, I seized the opportunity, injecting fresh capital ($7,000) and securing over 350,000 $ADA.
By this daring move, my portfolio climbed to $7,600, offering a glimmer of hope in uncertain times.
February 2021: A whirlwind engulfed the market. My portfolio skyrocketed from $7,600 to over $400,000. $ADA defied expectations, surging past $1, then $2, and even $3.
But here's where emotions clouded reason. Instead of securing profits, I let greed guide me.
October 2021: The metaverse frenzy gripped the market. I invested in various projects, hoping for a repeat of past successes. But then the double top formation of $BTC in November marked the beginning of the end ๐
From a peak of $400,000, my portfolio plummeted to $50,000 by December 2022. Anger led to emotional decisions โ chasing green candles, joining pump groups โ disastrous choices that saw my portfolio dwindle to $7,000.
A turning point arrived. Tired and defeated, I considered giving up on crypto, contemplating cashing out and walking away.
However, wisdom prevailed. After weeks of reflection, I recognized the importance of informed decisions over impulsive ones.
December 2022: With the knowledge of Bitcoin's four-year cycle and the upcoming halving, I resolved not to quit. Research led me to @NakamotoGames ( $NAKA ). I sold my second car, invested over $30,000 in $NAKA at $0.07-$0.08.
Entering 2023 with a portfolio worth roughly $37,000, split between 10,000 $TRIAS at $0.78 and 400,000 $NAKA at $0.075, I hoped for a brighter future.
January 2023: A new chapter unfolded as $NAKA began a remarkable journey. From January onwards, my investment multiplied 7 times, and I discovered new gems along the way.
Today: My portfolio stands tall at over $150,000. A realization I never thought possible, after the rollercoaster ride of gains and losses.
This journey taught me invaluable lessons โ patience over greed, strategic exits over impulsive decisions, quality projects over mere hype.
My story is a cautionary tale. I tell you this so that you avoid my mistakes. As the bull run approaches, remember: Preparation, strategy, and wise choices pave the path to success.
I couldn't talk about this topic for a long time because the frustration was deep. But apparently i'm doing well enough again and i'm motivated enough to tell you my story in more detail.
I'm armed with patience, a sound exit plan, and a focus on promising low-cap assets.
Let's tread this path together, ready to seize life-changing opportunities ๐๐
kinda crazy how @a1lon9 rounded up every single @Pumpfun affiliate and threw ~7figs on spawning a cat derivative to drive mindshare away before this file drop โ all within 24 hours lol.
now we know, even with desperate hard shills, itโs tough break 50M in a day for the boys.
nothing buries it though, will let normies enjoy the quick cash grab before the big reveal as promised โ dont wanna hurt ppl.
Donโt get distracted by Pumpโs latest attempt to make you guys forget about their wrongdoings.
Everytime they have tons of bad PR on X they send a coin to distract you. 1 coin going past $10M vs millions going straight to zero isnโt going to work this time. Keep the pressure on. Karma is a real thing. @Pumpfun@a1lon9
๐จ OCTOBER WAS A BLOODBATH. NOVEMBER IS TURNING INTO A NIGHTMARE.
CRYPTO IS LOSING INVESTORS, TRUST AND BILLIONS IN MARKET VALUE.
I want people to stop for a minute and actually look at what is happening.
Forget the daily green candles.
Forget the next "ANSEM*. Forget the Fake KOLS telling you that everything is fine.
LOOK AT THE DAMAGE
October 2026 was absolutely brutal.
Out of 41 major cryptocurrencies tracked in one monthly report, 39 finished in the red.
The median coin lost 19.1%.
And look at some of the biggest names:
๐ป Bitcoin: -7.2%
๐ป Ethereum: -16.0%
๐ป XRP: -16.0%
๐ป Solana: -19.1%
๐ป Dogecoin: -20.0%
๐ป Cardano: -21.7%
๐ป SUI: -22.8%
๐ป Stellar: -25.1%
๐ป Hedera: -31.4%
๐ป Quant: -29.9%
Even Pump fun's own token $PUMP lost 29%.
And who actually made money?
Pepe was the best performer in that 41 coin report, gaining 16.8%. JUST gained 1.7%.
That's the reality. Almost the entire large cap market was bleeding.
And November hasn't exactly saved anyone.
Between November 3 and November 10, 276 out of 347 tracked cryptocurrencies declined.
This isn't just a few bad trades. This is widespread damage across the market.
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BIGGER PROBLEM.
๐ฐ PUMPFUN AND THE MEMECOINS
Here is something people need to understand.
Pump fun's $PUMP token lost 29% in October.
But the platform itself collected approximately $175 MILLION in fees across its products during October, according to reported DefiLlama data.
Read that again.
The token holders are bleeding while the platform is generating enormous fees.
This is exactly the kind of business model we should be questioning.
Millions of tokens created. Retail chasing the next big thing. Most coins disappearing into irrelevance.
Where is the sustainable value for ordinary investors?
Where is the long-term ecosystem?
We have turned an industry that promised financial freedom into a machine that constantly demands fresh retail liquidity.
And the KOLs promoting every new launch aren't helping.
๐ AND THEN THERE ARE THE TRUMP FAMILY CRYPTO PROJECTS.
Let's not pretend politics and crypto have nothing to do with each other.
The official $TRUMP token lost approximately 23.2% in October.
Then it fell further, from around $1.71 on November 1 to approximately $1.13 on November 10.
That's another painful loss for holders.
World Liberty Financial's $WLFI was also down more than 60% year to date by November, according to reporting following the midterm elections.
And Reuters published an investigation estimating something even more disturbing:
Trump family crypto ventures generated approximately $2.3 BILLION in earnings for the family, while outside investors suffered approximately $2.3 BILLION in losses by the end of April 2026.
These are Reuters estimates, not independently audited totals.
Think about that imbalance.
Retail investors are taking enormous risks while politically connected crypto businesses have generated enormous sums.
This deserves scrutiny, transparency and accountability. Nobody should be above questions.
SO WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO CRYPTO IN Q4??
We have:
โข Altcoins losing 20%, 30%, sometimes much more
โข Retail portfolios getting destroyed.
โข Meme launchpads generating huge fees while speculative tokens collapse.
โข Projects promising revolutions but struggling to create lasting value.
And every time the market pumps 5%, the same people come back screaming ALTSEASON.
I'm tired of watching this industry celebrate trading volume while ignoring investor losses.
I'm tired of watching people flex profits while thousands of ordinary investors quietly lose their savings.
I'm tired of seeing another generation of retail investors being told that the next token will change their lives.
I still believe crypto can have a future.
Bitcoin has a purpose. Blockchain technology has a purpose. Real innovation has a purpose.
But this casino culture cannot be the future of the industry.
EVERY SINGLE one of @Cupseyy's callout were purely to lure in retail exit liquidity.
Best part?
@Pumpfun has paid him HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars, all extracted from YOUR fees - as the scumbag literally used YOU as exit liquidity.
@Pumpfun is a CRIMINAL enterprise.
8/ This goes far beyond callout rewards:
โข Since May 7, the side wallet operation made $1.74M across ~3,000 tokens.
โข A serial rugger connected to Cupsey made $1.3M
โข Cupsey earned $331K in callout rewards
Special thanks to @ogmothy for the lead
6/ While Cupsey was posting callouts, his side wallets were already selling.
In many cases, they started dumping right after his public buy
-> sell to copy traders first, then to social traders
5/ Worse: Cupsey has multiple onchain links to serial deployer 3z4vj
โข 3z4vj launched and rugged thousands of tokens, including $CUPSEY
โข Cupsey's side wallets sniped over 400 of these launches
3z4vj's trading profits: $1.3M
4/ The pattern is almost always the same:
โข 4 operational wallets buy and distribute to 12 side wallets
โข Cupsey's public wallet (6DQAGJ) buys
โข Copy traders pile in
โข Side wallets start dumping
๐จ BREAKING: JUSTIN SUN ACCUSED OF RUNNING AN ALLEGED $4 MILLION CELEBRITY PUMP-AND-DUMP SCHEME.
Prominent scammer Sahil Arora claims the TRON founder paid celebrities millions to promote $TRX and $BTT, only to allegedly dump large amounts of tokens following their promotional posts.
According to Arora, the alleged operation involved:
โข Over $4 MILLION in celebrity payments.
โข Coordinated promotions designed to drive buying interest.
โข Large token sell-offs following celebrity posts.
โข Private group chats arranging payments and promotions.
Arora claims to have receipts and communications exposing the alleged scheme.
The SEC previously accused Sun of undisclosed celebrity promotions and market manipulation in 2023.
The new allegations remain unverified.
