Your life stops changing the moment your days stop having structure.
Most people don’t fail from lack of effort, they fail because everything they do leaks in ten directions.

Run your day in blocks and you’ll feel your entire life tighten up:

Block 1 Setup
Hydrate. Sit down. Map the day. Zero noise.
One objective → one direction.

Block 2 Live Trading
Execution only.
No scrolling. No switching. No distractions.
Your focus is your edge.

Block 3 Study
Research, backtesting, system refinement.
The work that compounds quietly.

Block 4 Body
Gym, padel, run, sauna.
A strong body creates a calm mind.
A calm mind sees the market clearly.

Block 5 Presence
Walk without your phone. Train without your phone.
Deep conversations with the people you love, fully present.
This resets everything.

Block 6 Review
Journal. Track levels. Clean your head for tomorrow.
You end the day the same way you start it: intentional.

Most people stay “busy” for 10 hours and finish nothing.
When you live in blocks, you finish the right things,
and your entire life accelerates.

Lot of crypto folks asking me "What happened?"...

It's probably time to dust off the Taleb book 'Antifragile'.

The amount of Open Interest that has been taken off in one day is unreal. 15B -> 6B on hyperliquid alone, the real total number must be insane!

People always want a clear simple headline. FTX, Luna, Celsius, we've had plenty smoking gun collapses in the past so makes sense to look.

But most likely this is more like the liquidation cascade of May 2021 where after months of run-up and low volatility, people start taking more and more risk as they chase more money.

Especially in this macro environment where gold is at $4k, stocks break all time high every day, and even if you are up you don't know if you are up relative to others when the denominator USD is rekt.

In recent months I've been hearing more and more retarded theses for buying coins. Did you know that CZ's gardener dog is called $ASTERIX? Time to bet on that shit, its BSC season.

Solana trenchers used to flipping shitcoins on their mobile phantom trying to tell me why this or that shitty perp dex is worth billions. Zero self-awareness of knowing what their game is and what it isnt.

Add to that people chasing perps as a narrative, while the liquidity isnt there to support. Hidden risks everywhere, where people are using synthetic dollars as collateral, trading premarket perps with no funding external reference, and telling you not to cry in the casino like they are some hotshot from a Joe Pesci mob movie.

Reality is, in recent months as we were awash with liquidity and every launch was faced with a huge hot ball of money, a lot of the fragility was being hidden under it.

Too much FOMO from retail, not enough focus on robustness from founders seeing their token price as the school report card instead of thinking about their product being more resilient to shocks.

I get it, if you dont play the hype game in crypto you die anyway. If you dont fomo sometimes you miss the big trades. Its a fine balance and none of us are perfect at finding it. And maybe there are some timeless lessons from that cranky boomer that can at least explain why this happened.

@Mattertrades @he4vyweightx @Chart_inDepth Curiosity leads to learning, once learned you begin to understand. It’s cyclical and ongoing as the world is ever-expanding in knowing. We may not have the answers in this moment, but we are in the journey of endless discovery.

Note to those in the Z gen and younger M geners who think all the economic doom that has been imposed upon you by your parents and grandparent generations:
Your future has been stolen from you. But you will be sadly disappointed if you think a bunch of altcoins and day trading capital markets will be your magic escape door.
Yes, a few of you will figure out trading. And yes, Bitcoin might be the world's best store of value play.
But it will take much more than trading on your iPhone to get to where you want to go.
Believe me or not at your own risk.

The price action is abysmal to be fair, and everyone has a different investment horizon. When CeDeFi is fully integrated and adopted, the demand will outpace available supply and that is the day we will see significant PA growth.

$LINK

- Chainlink holds over 80% market share in the decentralized oracle sector, far ahead of competitors.
- It powers data for 70%+ of total value locked (TVL) in DeFi.
- Chainlink has deep partnerships with traditional finance giants like SWIFT, JPMorgan, Citi, and ANZ, bridging TradFi and blockchain.
- Its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) enables secure data and token transfers between blockchains, facilitating TradFi integration.
- Chainlink’s oracle services bring real-world financial data (stocks, bonds) on-chain, aiding digital transformation of capital markets.
- These TradFi connections enhance Chainlink’s credibility and expand its market beyond crypto-native use case.

A RECESSION IS COMING.

WHEN?

END OF 2025.

EARLY 2026.

MOST PEOPLE WILL NOT BE READY.

I WILL.

BECAUSE I HAVE ONE GOAL THIS CYCLE:

Sell the top.

Buy back the bottom.

How?

This chart.

The 2-Year Moving Average Multiplier.

It’s worked every #crypto cycle.

Since 2013.

No noise. Just data.

Every single time Bitcoin touches the red line (2Y MA x5)

The bull run ends.

Market tops.

That’s when I’m out.

But that’s only step one.

Here’s the REAL secret,

I won’t just sell the top.

I will buy back at the bottom.

How?

When Bitcoin drops below the green line,

That’s the 2-Year Moving Average.

And every time we trade under it.

That’s the real bottom.

2014 it nailed it.
2017 again.
2021same story.

The green line is the reload zone.

The wealth transfer level.

Where the next cycle begins.

So my plan is simple:

🔴 Red line I sell
🟢 Below green I buy back everything

Stop guessing.

Follow the lines.

And when it’s time to exit, I’ll say it loud.

And when it’s time to re-enter

I’ll be screaming here too.

Follow me.

Because this time,

You’re either buying bottoms,

Or being someone else’s exit.

Air Space Live: Markets will short squeeze when commercial flights resume in this region. Until then accumulate spot crypto on these discounts and move to self custody. This geopolitical theater gives you opportunity.

See Open Interest being led by the US @CMEGroup where Wall Street institutional participants are using the situation to accumulate.

IMO: #Binance will initiate the squeeze it’s all premeditated.

@slushytrading Perfect mindset rooting for you 🙏

[Sovran Sage @SovranSage]

Sharing wins isn’t really my style, but sometimes you have to celebrate the big ones.

Just found myself cracking into the leaderboards today, after having this account for less than 1 month. My close friend encouraged me to get on the leaderboards so I decided to take a swing at it.

The outcome? here it is. The number one thing I found starting off as a trader is surrounding myself with like-minded people who want nothing else but to see YOU succeed. You will thrive off of that and have the humility to be generous in return.

Often I barely celebrate success so today that is what I’m going to do and I challenge you to do the same in whatever endeavour you currently pursue. Show off your wins because you deserve it.

Feeling blessed & grateful 🙏

Inspired by @thiccyth0t's crypto liquidity hot zones chart, I plotted two exchanges' day-relative volume over the last 14 days.

- Spike at 00 UTC definitely stands out. Do algos really wait until 00 UTC to trade? It's like a Schelling point for algos. Somebody was too lazy to pick a time and now 00 UTC is the informally agreed upon time to trade?

- Thiccy's "euro prep" seems real. I don't know what that is.

- More activities during US hours as expected, especially as west coast wakes up.

Lmk if there are any other insights.
