Two guys relocated to different countries same time. Dubai and the Uk.
One rushed into crypto , memecoins, airdrops, presales.
Turned $8k to $18M within 8 months in Dubai.
The other said “I want stability.”
Got a 9–5 job paying £3k/month in United Kingdom.
3 years later:
Crypto guy lost almost everything chasing the next pump. Back to $4k and no steady income.
Salary guy saved £40k, started a small side hustle, still earning monthly.
Who is actually doing better?
The one who touched big money but couldn’t keep it…
Or the one growing slowly in the economy he resides in?

One thing crypto taught me is how to read people early.
Before the followers, before the big partnerships, and before anyone else is paying attention.
You can tell who's going to make it if you know what to look for.
It's always the one who's been quietly putting in work for months without any recognition and hasn't slowed down once.
The one who treats people well when there's nothing to gain from it, and the one who's obsessed with getting better and is honest enough to admit what they're not good at yet.
I've built relationships with people like this before anyone knew their name.
Some of them are now running projects, leading communities, and building real businesses.
The traits that make someone successful long term are visible way before the success is.
Most people just aren't paying attention early enough.
The next 3 to 6 months will create a record number of MILLIONAIRES.
The crypto market will begin a terrifying rally right before the largest recession in history.
The MACD has stayed green for 4 consecutive weeks in a row.
Altcoins have broken out of a major falling wedge.
Last time this happened?
What followed wasn’t a rally.
It was insanity.
When I look at the business cycle… What the US dollar is doing…what Trump is doing…ISM Expansion…Fed expanding balance sheet…Rate Cuts…Manipulators under attack
Institutional interest in crypto. Retail distributing to big money. The Clarity Act, etc..
Understand that, and you beat 95% of investors.
Turn on notifications so you don’t miss my alert, this is VERY important.

It’s not about being good or smart, we’re in the perfect place at the perfect time during a global financial revolution. The only way you lose is by going mentally insane or losing it all on leverage a few too many times. Shut the fuck up, do everything possible to trade up to good coins and just exist and you will stumble into making it on a long enough time frame. Most people here know nothing. The ones that made it just existed and held coins since 2017.
people dragging this man for saying you need a level of wickedness for at least 5 years to escape poverty.
but honestly… I understand what he meant
and it reminded me of something my dad told me last year (note: this is going to be a bit long) 🧵🔻
last year when I started making decent money from web3,
high six figures in naira started becoming normal to me
so I got comfortable sending money home, to my mom, my girlfriend, people around me and to family.
and I didn’t really see anything wrong with it
in my head, I was like:
“it’s crypto, I’ll always make more”
but my dad kept warning me, he said I was moving too fast and giving too much
I didn’t really listen
until one day something happened
my big brother got into a serious issue.
government destroyed his small shop and he went back to zero
he had to move back home and my mom kept calling me, crying and asking me to help him
at that time, I was trying to:
buy a PC
pay school bills
invest small
and still survive
but I was ready to give everything I had to help him
then my dad called me
and what he told me changed my mindset
he said in Yoruba:
“𝐎𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐨𝐦𝐢, 𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐞 𝐞… 𝐨 𝐧𝐢 𝐨𝐲𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐲𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐚… 𝐨 𝐦𝐨 𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐣𝐮 𝐥𝐨 𝐟𝐢 𝐧 𝐥𝐨 𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐲𝐞 𝐧𝐢?”
which means:
𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞… 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝?
at first it sounded harsh
but then he explained
he said:
𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬.
he said entitlement will set in
he said my income is not stable yet
he said if I keep draining myself, I will return to zero.
and the most painful part he said was:
𝐢𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭.
that part hit me hard
……….🔻🔻🔻
At this point, it feels like my account is being unfairly restricted despite full cooperation and submission of all required verification documents.
I have already provided proof of transactions multiple times, yet my funds remain locked without clear justification or resolution. This ongoing delay is causing serious concern and frustration.
I respectfully request a proper manual review of my case and a clear explanation of the reason for continued restriction, along with the prompt release of my assets if all compliance requirements have been met.

I still think that crypto is one of the best playing fields for young people that wants a shot of making it. Even though it doesn't look like it right now, airdrop farming/perp points, etc. (or a new meta) will come back. There will be good days again.
Take asymmetric bets, be among other risk taking people (either on Twiiter or IRL). No matter what you do, don’t waste your best years playing it safe.
Was at my sister’s wedding yesterday, my uncles started telling me to settle down and start a family. I was like I’m still looking for money, one said you have money, who told you that chief? One of them said after he married, things got better for him. Told him, if he didn’t get married, things would still have gotten better, we laughed over it.
Then the one that kinda left a message in my heart was when I told one of my uncles I heard he married at age 39, he said he rejects it for me. That he will be 60 this year and his first child is still in school, he said if he was a government worker, he’d be retiring this year, where will he get money to take care of the kids school fees? That this age should be his resting phase, I get that part, and it hit deeply.
After hearing all of this and thinking deeply, knowing fully well that at the end, we all will have to settle down, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll not be marrying anytime soon because I need to make more money, thank you.🙂↔️

Pays can range from $7/hr to $70/hr
Here are a few:

- Luel

All these I’ve mentioned soo far are ways you can survive the bear market if you’re starting from $0
I’ve learned over time that people don’t actually want to ‘get rich’. They just want to ‘be rich’.
Those are two completely different things.
Getting rich is a process. It requires discipline, patience, principles, and constant learning.
Being rich is just the outcome.
And chasing outcomes without respecting the process is why people lose money on sports betting apps, bad trades, and quick schemes.
Wealth doesn’t work like that.
Before you eat your cake, your hands have to get dirty baking it.
Person A has $125K which has been sitting comfortably in a bank account for 5 years now.
Person B had $3M, but this is now reduced to $1.5M due to market volatility and taking risks in the market.
Both started with $100K 5 years ago.
Your normie friends will say person B is living the riskiest life of them, but if you really think about it, it's actually person A that has the riskiest life because he is letting time erode the value of his money.
