It took me a full market cycle of getting the right lessons at the wrong time before I figured out how to build a strategy that actually works
Which is what allowed me to scale my portfolio from $5K to $7M+

By the time you learn that you must HODL, the bear market has started
By the time you learn that you must take profit, the bear market is over
By the time you learn that you must buy dips, the bull market is over
The reason this happens is because the market will always teach you the right lessons at the wrong time
The market will program you with the right habits exactly at the moment you no longer need them
Which is why you need to experience a full market cycle before you can truly call yourself a profitable investor:
so many people struggle to recognise pvp vs pve environments
everyone in crypto twitter can be euphoric and making money, and price can keep trending higher, because of external flows (tradfi) taking us higher
does no one here remember in 2017 bull when everyone was euphoric everyday and yet price still kept sending?
same concept
Sold 60% of my spot $HYPE here at $72.
Not saying it won’t go higher, I believe it will be #1 runner of the next cycle, - and I’d love to own more coins - but judging by current sentiment, a local top is probably close.
Will DCA back in around $15-20.
Knowing which projects have everyone’s incentives aligned and which ones are designed only to extract money from retail
Is the difference between being the exit liquidity for VCs and actually making money
I regularly share investment plays like these in my free Telegram channel: https://t.co/0zSTUfx6Ps
Unlike crypto which is a zero sum game, stocks are a positive sum game
In stocks everyone’s incentives are aligned: founders, VCs and insiders all want the company to make more money, because earnings drive valuation, which drives the stock price higher
But in crypto it’s the opposite, you have teams, VCs and influencers all working together to extract money from the token as fast as possible
In fact you have VCs getting their allocation in presales, dumping immediately at launch, and then slowly exiting with a linear vesting schedule
By the time they’ve fully exited, the team hasn’t even had time to build or find product market fit, which is why the whole structure is designed to rug retail
And while stocks are valued on revenue, which is a stable and predictable metric, crypto is valued on narrative as 99% of projects have zero revenue.
I’ve been in crypto since 2017 and scaled my portfolio from $5K to $7M+
And I can tell you that none of it was an accident, it was the result of years of building the right strategy and growing as a person alongside my portfolio
I’ve condensed all the lessons I’ve learned along the way in my free 40 hour course: https://t.co/XYBlGBywWP
In the crypto space I've seen people become billionaires
l've seen people lose decades of life savings
l've seen people make millions and lose it all and have tons of fun, because they're gamblers at heart
And every single one of them had one thing in common:
They deserved the outcome they received
> The billionaire dedicated his life to markets, bet massively at the right time, and grew as a person to handle his newfound wealth
> The guy who lost his life savings didn't consider the risks upfront, only did crypto on the side next to his full time job, and got rekt because he never had a proper strategy
> The gambler understood at his core that he was here for the rush of massive profits, but without a strategy those profits couldn't be kept
Whatever your actions reflect is what you will end up with
Here to gamble and have fun? Embrace that
Here to achieve financial freedom? Make sure your actions align for that
Most people who made money in the last bullrun got lucky
They bought a coin, it went up, and they didn’t even know why
And that’s exactly why they lost all their profits
Financial growth and personal growth always have to stay aligned, and if they differ, they eventually converge back
So imagine yourself right now getting to a million dollars in the next bullrun, can you sit there and say you made it 100% intentionally?
That you had a plan, a strategy, and it wasn’t an accident?
If the answer is no, understand that you won’t be able to keep any of the profits you’ll make in the next bullrun
Not having a defined system was one of the most expensive mistakes I made early in crypto
It took me multiple years of losing all my profits before I finally figured out how to keep them
I broke down the exact system I use in my free 40 hour course: https://t.co/Ou6dBhO7C9
crypto bros will watch $HYPE go up 80% and call it a day and full exit their bags
In tradfi land a new ATH is just the beginning of the move, if AI stonks can have larger mcaps and pump 5x in a 6 month period, I'm sure HYPE can do something similar
Not knowing when to take profit was one of the most expensive mistakes I made early in crypto
It took me multiple years of losing all my profits before I finally figured out how to keep them

I’ve seen guys in my mastermind turn $40K into $1M on $TOSHI
And even though I said to take profits, there were many who never did
Taking profit is truly the hardest part of crypto
And just like a muscle, the more you use it, the better you get at it
It's especially important if you're investing into altcoins, since most of them are ticking time bombs, often with less time left before they explode than you think
So as your coin moons, you should always ask yourself: if it dropped 80% from here, could I handle that?
If the answer is no, take profit
Because no one expects the crash before it comes
And by the time most people decide to sell, it’s already too late:
the most interesting part of global USD stablecoin adoption is how once USD is in the hands of 100's of millions of people from diff countries, in a time of war the US gov can just print USD, inflating the dollar, then return the printed USD to it's citizens to slowly eat away at the wealth of countries it is at war with
crash's business is directing retail flows into memes he owns from the bottom so obvs he says this lol
this is why this industry is such a scam because it encourages people to speculate and gamble instead of spend time building something that can provide genuine value to society
the only recommendation that works for a broad audience is to participate in positive sum games where you have an edge. this can be biz or markets but if it's a zero sum market like buying memes you're swimming against the tide
stocks go up because they make more money over time
crypto goes down because most never make money
hype has a sustainable and growing revenue source in a booming market
plus its now tapped into tradfi flows
so imo regular rules of crypto don't apply here and is the main blindside I see with the crypto bros thinking because its up 80% it's gotta go down now
