Many people often ask me why I named my company Nomad Trading. And I frequently inquire if they truly understand the concept of a Nomad. Surprisingly, many people don't.
In essence, a "nomad" refers to a person with no settled home, moving from place to place as a way of obtaining food, finding pasture for livestock, or otherwise making a living.
To me, nomads symbolize individuals in pursuit of a better and more fruitful life—people who embody the essence of freedom.
The underlying idea here is that trading is a skill that, once learned, offers an incredible opportunity to live life on your terms. It enables you to break free from the system, liberating yourself from the suffocating 9-5 job that drains you. It allows you to step away from a life where your children are growing up and you're unable to spend time with them. In my perception, trading epitomizes the ultimate skill capable of crafting your dream life, brimming with freedom. For me, trading has always represented freedom, which is precisely why I savor every moment of this journey.
This is exactly why I chose such a name for my company. This is exactly why I embraced this idea and lifestyle. Because, my friends, we were meant to be free and to me trading is the key.
When I wrote that, $BTC was trading around $115K.
To me, the next move was obvious.
Now BTC is at $63K.
The real question is simple:
If the downtrend continues for another 12–18 months, what happens when Saylor is clearly underwater?
Can forced selling drag BTC even lower?
Or will there be enough buyers ready to absorb the pain?
Personally, I can see BTC retesting the $48K–$50K zone. That was around the ETF launch area, and there is likely a lot of liquidity sitting there.
Still, I see those levels as a great accumulation zone.
But my main thesis on Bitcoin has changed over the last few years.
Yes, BTC is probably the hardest money on earth.
Yes, it is one of the easiest assets to self-custody and “bank yourself” with compared to real estate, gold, or traditional assets.
But the world is not built around one asset.
There are many markets. Many narratives. Many cycles.
Only a fool holds 100% of his portfolio in crypto while attention, liquidity, and opportunity rotate elsewhere.
The smartest investors do not marry assets.
They rotate before the crowd wakes up.
Not after everyone starts panicking because Saylor might be forced to sell BTC to cover dividends.

It's official.
MicroStrategy, $MSTR, is now facing its biggest unrealized loss in history, at -$10.8 billion.
In other words, after 6 years of buying Bitcoin, the company is now down -17% on its position.
By comparison, the S&P 500 is up +116% over this same timeframe.
Since MicroStrategy sold 32 Bitcoin at $77,135 per coin, their positions has lost -$11.8 billion in value.
This puts MicroStrategy's stock, $MSTR, down -77% since its record high.
Bear market is an understatement.
Prop Firm Match requires you to buy 25+ challenges of the same size before you can claim an account of that size.
That means thousands in purchases for you.
And thousands in commissions for them.
We’re changing that!

Get paid to review prop firms.
For too long, traders have been the product.
You buy a challenge, everyone in the chain gets paid, and you get a few loyalty points that usually require thousands in purchases before you see anything meaningful back.
We want to change that.

@FabrizioRomano Got nothing against the guy but he was just lucky to success Klopp and what he had build.
He is not even remotely close to the level of his aura.
Still it was nice to lift this trophy in 2025. But I think he has no so big role in that.
I signed up for the military academy at age of 18.
Then eventually spend 10 years there going from just a cadet to first lieutenant. Only to then quit and chase entrepreneurial dreams.
A bit differrent experience but definitely agree on the humbling experiences part at a young age.
Have you ever bought a prop firm challenge, passed it, and only then realized your country was restricted?
Or even worse, the firm let you purchase despite their FAQs saying your country was not supported?
Yeah. That should not happen.
So today, I solved that problem for you.
And honestly, I think I cooked with this one.
I believe prop firm research should be frictionless.

@dmartin_nq Bro try composer 2.5 fast literally the most efficient model rn
Composer 2.5 with GPT-5.5 is goated
Btw this 220k loc is for your automated trading or its something else you building?
@jackfriks Haha did the same thing but literally composer 2.5 is probably the most efficient model rn.
Using it for the last few days or so its simply insane.
Day one of educating the industry on why copying data products without understanding the logic behind them is dangerous.
@TheTrustedProp I appreciate that you are trying to build more transparency around prop firm payouts.
But if you are going to copy a core functionality of @chartnomads, at least make sure the data is correct.
Your payout numbers currently appear to be inflated by roughly 50%.
From what I can see, you are likely counting both incoming and outgoing transactions, which double-counts payout volume and makes the totals look much higher than reality.
I know this because we have spent the last two years building the biggest public payout data layer for prop firms currently at $1.3B+, and this is exactly the type of mistake you make when you only copy the surface, not the system behind it.
In an industry where traders already struggle to know who to trust, publishing inflated payout numbers is not a small mistake.
It misleads traders.
It misrepresents companies.
And it damages the transparency this industry actually needs.
Happy to see more people building in this direction.
But if you copy the feature, fix the data logic too. And please don't blindly ship AI slop.
