In crypto since 2010 | Not taking myself too seriously

Thought this was a cool experiment.

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

I gave GPT access to things I have written both in and outside of crypto and asked it to summarize my essence in a paragraph. What do you think - does it know me?

Fuck the #USA and their weird shit like hydration breaks and halftime shows. 27 min break is ridiculous. Now let’s see how #orangeman is going to fuck the trophy ceremony up at the #worldcup

@tradermatt With all due respect, but this is some of the silliest Matt I've seen (pun intended). Win/loss ratio is an average: the bigger the sample size the more accurate. Just have to adapt your RR. One could be profitable (in theory) with an under 20% win/loss ratio.

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch it and bookmark it now.

@CryptoMichNL I think the biggest issue with alts is that they react stronger to $BTC going down than BTC going up (relative to the BTC % change). So a 75% drop on many alts like we've seen since 10/10 requires a 300% increase to only get break even. Not sure how realistic that is.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

Absolutely here in good faith. My point is that AI generated content uses a very recognizable structure/pattern. Bots use them in replies, bot accounts use them for tweets. Both people and algorithms don't like it.

So when you post an article that is written by AI, no one can tell the difference between you asking the AI to write an article about a particular topic without any input besides the prompt; or you using AI to structure / clean up an article you put effort in (which is obviously completely fine).

Cause people can't tell the difference, standard output AI from an article you wrote yourself can/will hurt your credibility (cause to many it will look like auto generated content, regardless from your intentions).

It's fairly easy to fix this by a prompt along the lines of "please clean up and structure this article that I wrote, but avoid using standard LLM patterns and use my tone of voice". And repeat this multiple times through copy/pasting the outcome from e.g. Chatgpt into Gemini and then into Grok.

The article will look much better and the risk of an algorithm or readers not liking it will be reduced by quite a lot.

If you are still falling for this strategy you need to open your eyes:
- I'm gonna destroy the world if you dont do x,y,z
- Threat doesn't work
- Proxy comes in at last minute with a reasonable out
- Ok we are not going to destroy the world cause I'm the best negotiator ever.
- Meanwhile market manipulation like there is no fucking tomorrow.

Anyone still supporting/believing orange man: you need a reality check.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

@CryptoMichNL Possibly, but big difference now is the lack of retail. And the retail part that is still in won't get fooled a 3rd time tmho.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

It's actually one of the main diseases of this era, where social media will continually reinforce someone's own views, which takes away the debate and ultimately all the nuance and common sense. And X's list feature will protect you exactly from the algorithm echo chamber.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

The most useful feature on X are the Lists. It's very interesting to see the ~4-5 traders I take serious having opposing/similar views within the same feed.

Throw a couple accounts who are more focused on the macro level in the mix, and there is no tool that comes even close.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

Same goes for politics: I consider myself nor left nor right, I like to form my own opinions. Having a dedicated list with people on both sides of the spectrum makes me 1) better understand those POVs, and 2) make my own opinion to be more nuanced.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

@LDNCryptoClub In Belgium we do the dishes with Heineken. It's a free world but I recommend to upgrade to real beer!

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

@MastrXYZ No one, I check X exclusively through my lists, and only the accounts I find interesting are on my lists. Saves me from a lot of bs. It's like watching tv, If u don't like it watch another show.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

@C_Zar_69420 Happy you did 😂

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

With $BTC taking a nose dive to 73k, this is playing out like previous times after #BOJ .75 rate increase. A 20% decrease will put $BTC around ~70k, a 30% decrease near ~60k.
Would be the 4th consecutive time.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

With Bank of Japan expect rate hike end of week (causing drops upto 30% for BTC over the course of 1-6 weeks), it wouldn't surprise me to see a move like this playing out by the end of january 2026.

The October portfolio in numbers:

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

Been quite the ride since my epiphany back in September to put 20% of my portfolio in $xaut and $paxg. Not sure how long the fun will continue as they both make up for my spot positions that are in the gutter.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

With a chart like this I'm wondering why it never occurred to me before to convert part of my stables into $paxg (Pax Gold) or $xaut (Tether Gold), especially with a weak dollar.

[Ricktionary @BitsOfRick]

On the portfolio I started right after 10/10 I'm currently down 25%, not a complete disaster but considering to move some around, $ondo and $mnt for example have been the biggest disappointments there, still I'm optimistic long term.
