One of the biggest mental hurdles after making money, and something nobody really tells you, is that nothing really changes.
You imagine there will be this euphoric moment where everything feels different. In reality, it’s often the biggest anticlimax.
I’m not saying having no money is good. It isn’t. A lack of money creates its own set of problems. But having money doesn’t solve the deeper questions either.
You look around and your friends are still going to work. Your family are still going to work. Even if they’re doing well, you start to feel disconnected from the way they view time, work, and money because your reality has changed.
It’s a strange feeling.
You spend years believing freedom is the destination, then one day you have far more control over your time than most people, and you realise that everyone you care about is still busy exchanging theirs for money.
The irony is that after spending your whole life wanting more time, you suddenly have it, but very few people to spend it with.
That’s the part nobody prepares you for.
I stopped telling people about XRP.
Not because I’m hiding it…
Because I learned something early.
The moment you tell people what you’re building,
they start measuring it against their timeline.
“Hasn’t it gone up yet?”
“I thought you said it was going to do something.”
“Maybe you should just sell.”
So I stopped talking.
I just kept buying. Quietly.
Every month.
Through the lawsuit.
Through the delistings.
Through the bear market.
Through every dinner table conversation about crypto being a scam.
I just smiled… and passed the bread.
The number in my wallet doesn’t need anyone’s opinion to grow.
Neither does yours.
This is exactly why the majority lose everything.
Let me attempt to articulate this to you as best as I can.
Right now we have:
- BTC/GOLD clean 5 wave up and ABC down
- 2nd lowest 1W RSI reading ever
- Record low 1W MACD reading
Every single time the RSI has approached any level near this it has been a total bottom. As bottom as it can get.
So, we currently have an on record level pullback here, whilst also having:
- People acting like this has never happened before(which happens at every low)
- Insane amounts of Grave dancing from euphoric metals holders
- Deeply negative Bitcoin and Crypto sentiment(it is literally everywhere).
And this is what we see throughout history time and time again at HTF bottoms.
But here are the logical facts.
The best time to buy an asset is when it is massively oversold, in this case, against GOLD.
When sentiment is disgusting at the same time as these record lows, it is a highest beta buy signal.
When investors grave dance it is because an asset they are holding is massively up and it provides them an environment they feel comfortable to attack from.
The objective fact here is that GOLD is very close to topping and Bitcoin is very close to bottoming.
No matter what, every time, without fail, sentiment will be in the gutter... and all you will see on your feed is how GOLD is the chosen one and Bitcoin is dead.
And uneducated and emotional investors will be utterly mentally screwed by this environment.... which leads to bottom nuking Crypto to top buy metals.
This is literally why people bottom sell and fomo top buy, happening right in front of us.
When it is the absolute worst decision you could make.
You have to learn and understand that whenever an asset is underperforming you will ALWAYS have to deal with fears circulating about it.
"Bitcoin is dead"... "Bitcoin had failed".... "ETFs ruined it"... "Alts are dead forever"
When they are at the most valuable areas to buy.
That is just the way it is and that is why it is so hard for the majority to win... because you HAVE to rise above that.
You have to learn to recognise deep fear and great opportunity.
This is not something most can see or will ever see... most are bamboozled by the emotions of the moment and will make the total opposite decision they should.
If you feel the need to comment how I am wrong about this and its over...
Maybe take a moment to observe why you are saying that, and read this again.
It doesn't get much clearer.
