Meet @zlindot, a serial deployer and scammer who extracted at least $450K+ through 1000+ Proxima launches.
He deleted the thread bragging about this and blocked me so I figured I'd dive into it for posterity (and to save all evidence on my crime board)
FUNNIEST THING EVER
Pumpfun replying to my chart with AI slop and forgot to remove part of the chat that says they ARE MORE EXTRACTIVE
"But my version of the graphic alone does not address the underlying claim that Pumpswap is far more extractive"
Saved the sceenshot here before got deleted
1x per week I workout with a trainer. That 1 day per week check-in forces me to weigh-in and be accountable the other 6.
Accountability to someone we care about is so underestimated. They donβt even need to have expertise in what youβre doing.
neither tbh until you know why you're in it. if its from breaking rules/system step back and reset. if its normal variance and you've followed the plan cut size and keep executing as long as your DLL/WLL/MLL hasn't been triggered. if it does get hit then theres more data to work with. go back through what happened and see if the environment's shifted away from what suits your system (e.g trending system and market transitions into a range). if it has sit on your hands and wait for conditions that suit it again
Most people won't want to hear this but the amount of time you spend on CT negatively impacts your trading
Every time you come on here theres a highlight reel of someone smashing it. Problem is this is all you see and most people actually cater their feeds towards this and block/mute anything that goes against their bias
Most of what fills your feed is nonsense and even if it were true it only tells a fraction of the story
It's no different to IG. 100 filters, specific lighting, photoshop. People are doing the exact same thing on here to portray an image of something they're not
However most believe it and they'll beat themselves up time and time again with unrealistic expectations
You have that absolute legend who ran up an account in 3 days, but suddenly goes silent
That chad who hit a 1000x, roundtripped into a loser and keeps adding more
The leaderboards showing influencers with massive uPnLs which looks great to the average person but they'd struggle to sell any of it with 0 liquidity
The ballers that pick the right shitter out of 500 vamps and time the entry and exits to perfection
Accounts with large audiences have advantages that most people don't. Their edge comes from their following not their ability to trade
Copy traders
Paid for calls
Launching tokens
Orchestrating moves
Side wallets
Live streams
Undisclosed payments
All of this stuff is a non starter for the average person and its why they peddle it so hard because without it they're trash. There's a lot more shady tactics and I'm barely scratching the surface in what's mentioned above
I saw a guy on the timeline recently on his 819th funded account (on a single venue, which he tried to hide) within a few weeks whilst selling premium access to his private group. Just one of many examples of how these people mislead others
These types of people can afford to be more reckless as they're a DM away from a paid deal or they make their money from their followers losing. If they blow up they get applauded as being chad or a degen. Or the money they're losing is house funds anyway
They can bag hold because they're getting paid by the platform they're promoting whilst dumping from side wallets
Surrounding yourself with this crap is not healthy and can be a complete head fuck to keep seeing success around you while you're struggling
Take what you see on here with a pinch of salt because the majority of it is garbage. Try not to let others size influence yours and focus on making good decisions. Stick to your own plan and don't let TraderDave69 impact your idea just because he's on the other side with bigger size
Have some confidence in what you are doing and run the data. But don't let confidence cross over with arrogance and complacency. It's still imperative to keep on top of your risk tolerance. Losing track of it is what sends most people spiralling and on tilt
The reality is most others are having a hard time as well. Trading is difficult and if anyone tells you otherwise they're full of shit
Just finished some spring cleaning and didn't realise how many dead projects I was still following. Wild how many of those raised millions in funding or generated millions in revenue then fell off the face of the earth. No reason anymore why anyone should fund hopes and dreams based on garbage roadmaps and promises. Build something useful first and prove it works. No more blockchains either please
I'm also aware of the startups failure statistic but if we're being real a lot of people play on this as get out for being incompetent clowns or genuine grifters. Too easy to freeload for a couple of years then step away these days. Very rare founders/teams give it absolutely everything before calling it quits
If you want to see a masterclass in what happens to traders who aren't willing to be wrong and try to fight the market by adding to losing trades then give this a watch
Professional traders aren't trading from a fucking phone... or a watch
What is this fucking knight rider?
Honestly even if you're not interested in trading the markets at all Tom's content is worth listening to just for these one liners
The dilution effect
In 2017 you could buy pretty much anything and there was a 90% chance it would go on to print 10-20x
In 2021 you could buy pretty much anything and there was a 9% chance it would go on to print 10-20x
In 2025 you could buy pretty much anything and there was a 99% chance you would get rugged and a 1% chance you'd catch a 1-2x
God bless launchpads
