The market is in an awkward phase like this, making it very difficult to trade. There are no more good long entries, but it’s too early to short.
If you’ve made money, protect your profits. Don’t FOMO and end up giving all your gains back.
Zora, do you agree with me investing in meme coins—specifically by leveraging FOMO? Is it a good idea to target coins that surge from $0 to a $300 million market cap? Is it worth trying my luck?
I fully understand the sentiment behind your words, having seen my own portfolio wiped out twenty times over.
This phase is much harder than the previous one. Even though the market is going up, more people are losing money than they did during the bear market.
The market is in a FOMO driven phase, but there simply isn’t enough capital flowing in. With liquidity spread across too many chains, most retail traders are losing money almost constantly.
This phase is really testing everyone’s patience.
Whether you’re shorting or longing, if you don’t manage your capital carefully, you’re going to get absolutely wrecked.
Just stay calm and focus on growing your own account.
The goal is simple: increase the amount of USDT in your account every day. You don’t need to win big, and you don’t need to prove anything to anyone.
Most importantly, stop comparing yourself to others.
Over the past 2 years, I’ve made around 9M USDT across 3 exchanges:
Binance: 5M
Bybit: 800K
OKX: 2.5M
For me, that result came from years of experience, countless hours, losses, mistakes, and periods when I felt like I couldn’t keep going.
But if I look at the #1 trader on FOMO and see that they made 25M in just one month, then start thinking:
“Why can’t I make that much?”
“Am I moving too slowly?”
“Am I worse than them?”
Then I’m probably destroying myself.
Because one stupid comparison can make us completely dismiss everything we’ve worked so hard to achieve over the years.
Other people have their own pace.
You have yours.
Don’t use someone else’s results to measure the value of your own effort.
In trading, it doesn’t matter how much you made today compared to someone else.
What matters is that after 1 year, 2 years, 5 years… your account is still there and bigger than before.
Just be patient.
Increase your USDT little by little every day.
Don’t FOMO.
Don’t be jealous.
Don’t try to compete in a race when you don’t even know where the finish line is.
Just make sure you’re better today than you were yesterday.
The Final Page
In the end, he was still sitting in front of the screen.
Not because he hadn’t made enough money.
And not because he still had something to prove to the world.
It was simply because, after all the wins, all the losses, and all the times he thought he finally understood the market only to realize he understood nothing at all — he began to understand something much simpler:
You don’t have to win every time. You just have to stay sharp enough to wait for the next right opportunity.
He used to be impatient. He wanted to turn a thousand into a hundred thousand as quickly as possible. He used to think that a good opportunity was one you had to grab immediately.
Then the market taught him that sometimes, the most valuable trade is the trade you don’t take.
He still made money.
He still lost money.
He was still greedy sometimes.
And there were still days when he looked back and wondered, “What if I had done things differently?”
But he no longer lived by “what if.”
He walked out of the room, leaving the screen behind.
Tomorrow, the market would open again.
Bitcoin would rise.
Bitcoin would fall.
There would always be another coin that made millions of people believe they were about to get rich.
And there would always be another one that reminded them how dangerous overconfidence could be.
And him?
He would come back.
Not to catch every wave.
Just to wait for the wave worth betting on.
And if there was one final thing he wanted to write to himself, it was this:
Patience won’t make you rich quickly.
But it keeps you alive long enough to become rich tomorrow.
He turned off the screen.
For the first time in many years, he didn’t need to know what tomorrow would bring.
Because he knew he would face it.

@Zorathzzz Whenever life throws me into a corner, I return to Zora to keep hope alive within me.
You're not just a tweeter, you're an influencer who revives hope and dreams so we can reach far.
Thank you, Zora ❤️
1/ In the past, I also received some incredibly important advice from other people, but at the time, I didn’t value it. I was winning too much, which made me feel confident and believe that I was already good enough. If I had been willing to listen back then, maybe I would be in a much higher position today.
But if you only listen to advice from friends who are at the same level as you, or from people who don’t have the same financial mindset as you, then what you receive will most likely be limited by their own level of awareness. And that limit may not be much different from yours — it may even be lower.
So the most important thing is to learn how to humble yourself and listen to people who are further ahead of you in the value chain. That is how you shorten the distance between yourself and wealth.
The second thing: money always follows attention. “Money follows attention.”
A lot of people have a huge misunderstanding about making money: they think that as long as they provide value, the market will automatically discover them.
No. The market may discover you very early, but if you don’t know how to put your value in front of other people, nobody will know who you are.
You don’t just need to have value. You also need to know how to spread that value to the outside world. That’s also why I created a Zora account, started sharing my experience, and began putting myself in the public eye.
Don’t confuse creating value through knowledge with the KOLs you see everywhere who constantly tell you things like, “I think it’s going to pump,” or “Buy this, it’s about to 10x–20x your account.” You see this kind of content everywhere.
If you know how to communicate your value, you will constantly have to prove yourself. And that has helped me tremendously.
I regularly attract attention through highly profitable signals and real-world experience, so naturally, I often become the target of jealousy and attacks from other well-known people.
But I will never bother anyone else. Some people try to act like they’re better than me and criticize me because I lost money on #SPCX.
But how many times have you taken $20k to $1m?
I’ve done it many times.
You shorting while I’m longing is completely normal. That’s simply how the market works.
People like that are just garbage. I usually block them immediately because they’re not here to make money. They’re here to bring other people down so they can make themselves look better.
Remember this: opportunities will not automatically come to you just because you’re good. Resources will not automatically be allocated to you just because you work hard.
You have to learn how to stand in front of other people and clearly say: who am I, what can I provide, and why do I deserve this opportunity?
You need to know what you can bring to other people. You need to know why other people should choose you.
You need to learn how to sell.
Selling isn’t just about selling a product. Think about it carefully: most of us are constantly selling something.
When you apply for a job, you’re selling your abilities.
When you negotiate your salary, you’re selling your value.
When you convince someone to help you, you’re also selling.
Even in relationships, you’re constantly exchanging value.
The question is whether you realize it or not.
Networking isn’t about knowing a lot of people.
Step one: you know that person.
Step two: that person is willing to buy from you.
That’s what really matters.
Always have a plan.
The day before yesterday, I told my Premium group to short $BEAT at a $1.2B market cap, and I said it would drop to $100–200M. But 90% of people didn’t believe it would actually happen.
Two days later, it dropped from $3.9 to $0.7.
Most people — around 90% — took profit too early. Only one person managed to hold it until around $0.9.
He was the one who asked me: “How did you know #BEAT would drop to $100–200M?”
Just one question, and he solved the problem.
