You don't need to be a quant to make money in this market. You just need to pay attention.
US drone stocks are next up. And I mapped out the whole ecosystem below.
We saw what happened with $DELL , on 8 May Trump said : "Go out and buy a Dell, they're great"
Three days ago, Dell was awarded a 5-year, $9.7B contract with the Pentagon and the stock is almost up 2X
(230 -> 420) since Trump told you to buy 3 weeks ago.
Now, the U.S. government is literally telling you where money is going next
> "The Trump Administration Is in Talks to Fund U.S. Drone Companies" -> (debt AND equity stakes!)
Pete Hegseth (US Secretary of Defence) in an interview today : "What you'll see in President Trump's 2027 budget is $56 billion in investment in drone dominance."
Drones = Utility. Probably the fastest growth segment of Physical AI. And I'm extremely bullish on the near future of Robotics.
So what do you buy? I spent hours mapping out the whole drone ecosystem-- with companies individually listed below & into brackets per risk profile & drone 'purity'+ with chart data.

doing pretty decent so far, haven’t really been fully locked in cause of multiple deadlines i’ve had to meet
up around 3k from the post below. would’ve been more if i didn’t roundtrip and fumble a few plays, but alll G, we live and we learn
follow me on fomo “0xx_Hammy” if u wanna track my trades and the reasoning behind why i buy
Whether you should buy a coin or not is based on numerous variables.
The best traders are the best in judging their trade based on the mix of all these variables. This is why I go over all the technical stuff first in my free guide. (blockchain > liquidity pool > bundling > ..)
Being good at finding viral memes early without knowing about essential variables that play into your trade will make you a much worse trader vs if you’d knew those.
Received a DM a few days ago from a follower asking how I find coins if I don’t track wallets or follow people into trades. Looks like some of y’all got my post the wrong way.
I never said not to track wallets or follow people into trades, just don’t do any of it blindly. Don’t enter a trade with size when you don’t even understand what the coin is about, what the tech behind it is, or who the people behind it are, because borrowed conviction will always end up with you losing money or fumbling the trade.
Some ways I find coins:
1. Tracking wallets
2. Fomo
3. Caller bots
4. X (posts, shills, etc.)
5. Shills in GC's
Two of the most important things in trading imo are being able to understand a project/why it’s good and having a good network. Trading with likeminded people (hungry degens) will always help you win more and trade better.
If u wanna be part of a GC, use this post to find other people who are interested. Maybe drop a comment saying you’re looking for hungry people, and anyone interested can chat and work things out.
Building connections is prolly one of the most important things in this space, it legit helped me get this far

I made my first million at 20 years old after being in this space since I was like 15 years old.
Even got hacked two times (lost everything) and that made me feel the worst type of emotions. Waking up to see your multiple year hard work being gone in an instant is crushing. But you learn and as they say, it makes you stronger. Just keep going, keep trying.
What a lot of people (I’m talking in dms with) are dealing with right now specifically is the revenge trading/scarcity mind problem.
It’s not that you are a bad trader (not at all), it’s just that you let your emotions take control over yourself.
Scarcity mindset: you are in a bad current financial situation that influences all your trades emotionally. In crypto you should aim to operate as a robot without emotions. Try to find work online (if the wages in your country are really low) as a freelancer, work on a skill (graphic designing, AI UGC content creation, etc.) — just something you enjoy doing as well.
This will create a sort of safety net financially and that works on your unconsciousness → less emotional trading.
Revenge trading: you want to make it “asap” because of pressure from your parents or countless other reasons. This makes you buy coins that aren’t really good coins, but you ignore it. The chart pumps and you might make money so you buy anyway. Can’t miss that possible 10x right?
The solution here is to zoom out. Think about it, how many 10x coins are there in a week, with really decent narratives? Probably quite a few. Is crypto gonna die this year? Probably not. Opportunities are abundant.
As long as you keep improving your trading skills (what areas to find fish), and keep going (throwing your lines out) — you’ll eventually catch some big fish.
You don’t NEED to make money today, or this week or even this month. Let the opportunities come to you and act when you have high conviction.
Coming back to that million I made, well… I lost it a couple months later. Like literally everything except $17 (I still have a post online from that moment).
Then to top it off, I even crashed my mom’s car into a pole and was $ 3k+ in debt. From being a millionaire (on paper) a couple months earlier.
I knew I still was a good trader, and you, if you’re being honest with yourself, you’ll know if you have a real edge or not.
How I got back on my feet was through creating a safety net first. I quit trading for a moment and went to work in a warehouse. To get my mind off things and get a basic financial safety net.
If trading starts directing you to a dark place, step back and go do something else for a while.
Next, I got serious with myself about my trading methods lately. And through this recognized the revenge trading sickness and got rid of it by waiting & only buying high conviction plays.
I turned $160 into $ 100k+ in just over a month. Took some profits (and also lost some) but I still have good size left.
Then a couple months ago I decided to start working on the most complete memecoin guide ever made. Exactly to help people like you (there’s a whole psychology part that talks exactly about what you’re going through). It’s completely free and it’s the post I quoted below.
So don’t worry, stay optimistic and just stay in motion. Don’t compare yourself with anyone, everyone has a different path.
Maybe you’ll make 10x what your trading friends ever made combined a couple years from now, who knows what the future holds?
Good luck and most importantly, enjoy the process.
Opportunities are abundant
One thing ive learnt in the last 2 and a half years trading is to never borrow conviction or blindly tail people on coins
My trading journey in a nutshell
I used to be an avid copytrader. I would just sit on my desk tracking good wallets to copy trade. Some days id make a few hundred, other days id lose a few hundred. Never really made any progress in terms of port size and was just stuck at 3 to 4 figs
Until one day I woke up and my wallet was nearly down 90% because the wallets I was copy trading started getting rinsed on trades. I had just turned 18 at the time and wanted to prove to my parents that I wasnt just wasting my time on my computer and phone, so I was devastated. Looked at my port and it was sitting a little below 50 dollars
I was never the type of person to ask my parents for money cause:
1.male ego once u become an adult
1.I wasnt close to my parents like every other kid
I was never a person to give up, so I told myself fine lets find a way to fix this. For like 6 months I was working as a moderator, banner guy, raider, you name it I was doing it. Even worked an irl job but hated it and left after like 3 days
Made around 2k during those 6 months and withdrew some of it cause I needed it for irl stuff. Had around 600 dollars in my port before I started trading again
Same mistake again...
I hadnt learnt anything and rinsed my port back down to around 150 dollars. I was so frustrated I started crashing out in gcs. A few good traders I knew DM'd me and told me to take a break before trading again. They told me to actually research coins and buy things I could relate to and understand. Understand the concept, why it would run, why people would buy it, all that
Still remember sitting on my bed that night thinking to myself okay im only going to start bidding things I actually understand, In my case that was tech projects since im a game/app developer irl.
A few days later came bags season and we all know how that went. I was so locked in on my pc, skipping classes and just grinding all day. I was early to multiple good coins purely off my own research
Turned 100 dollars into low to mid 5 figs
After that I hit multiple other licks on some really good coins and ill forever be thankful to those friends that DM'd me that day. If not for them I wouldnt be in this position right now with a few KOLs recognizing me and shouting me out.
Not tryna boast but this feeling is genuinely unexplainable. Going from being called a worthless kid by my parents to them saying "okay this kid might actually be onto something" is an amazing feeling
Special thanks to @spyzer wouldve probably quit if not for this nigga 🫶
“Its the process of getting better everyday for years that then creates the masterpiece”
Eventually you realize the long term mindset leaves you no choice but to lap those people who’s motivation only spans a few days or months
Most just dont have that dog in em
