@trading_axe can wait for btc nuke when iran underwater cable fud starts.i know its just a matter of time tomorrow in a month or 3 years it will come .
@trading_axe While most alts had nasty OI capitulation candles on 10/10 btc and few more assets did not . I guess its just a matter of time when btc have one nasty Oi wiping wick too out of nowhere.
@trading_axe@alCamel77 maybe whole time he had enough liquidity to buy while its no longer the case.but yeh 32 btc is just to cuz uncertainty which market hates.dude about to engineer his own liquidity
@trading_axe Also Bitcoin’s market maturity and context is completely different now. In 2022, the price dump came with disbelief and doubt about its survival. Today, that debate is dead—people just want to buy cheap BTC. Which is exactly why the market has no reason to give it to them anymore
@trading_axe What if btc not going up
Not cuz its bearish but cuz market makers want to stealth pump older " narrative " alts that can be sold later to new retail wave... pumping btc / sol /doge now would just attract them back to market while its still too early...
Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.
It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.
A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:
Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."
Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.
Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.
Both walk away frustrated.
Both have wasted each others time.
Existing blissfully as a trader is one of the GREATEST life hacks.
The BIGGEST LOSERS are the ones who are CHASING, CHASING, CHASING and CHASING.
They tell you, "You need to be locked in, grinding hard, 100 hour weeks crafting your edge!"
I don't think there has been a bigger lie told.
MAYBE for the little guys who are trying to DESPERATELY find a way out of poverty [and even then, there are much better options out there in these conditions],
But for the rest, the ones who are remain here,
The MORE you RUSH and envision a specific lifestyle or material items to be in your possession because of social media programming,
The more you're FORCED TO ACT and PANIC.
Time is not running out.
If it was, you'd ALREADY be cooked right now.
What's 6 more months? Even a year?
You've already been here X amount of years anyway.
Opportunities COME to you but you MUST ACT when the time is right.
In the fight game, when you LOOK for shots, you sometimes put yourself in unfavourable positions JUST to land.
But if you're EXISTING and wait,
The mistakes of your opponent COME TO YOU and you CAPITALIZE on it.
Let the retards capitulate whether it's price or time based because they need the "fastest horse" in the moment.
Look at the best trades made as of recent: ZEC and HYPE.
Do you think "those guys" sat there overtrading?
They SAW the trade, let it come to them and then blocked out all the noise.
They had REASSURANCE AMONGST each other.
A team on the same path.
You have the same thing too.
The "privacy supercycle" has already been identified and now ALL it takes is to exercise patience with additional plays in the same category.
Do you agree that BTC will set a new ATH?
You do, of course you do, otherwise you wouldn't be here.
And if it's the case, you already know how to profit from that occurrence when institutions or big players look for "the next" catchup to ZEC or HYPE after BTC goes mainstream again.
Perhaps mid or late into the bull cycle, but it'll happen.
It's a tale as old as time, human nature doesn't change.
The stage is set, you have to merely EXIST.
~ Dr. Axius.
stoic exercise: before every trade, picture the loss.
not to be negative. to pre-grieve.
when you've already accepted being stopped out, you can't panic when it happens. the trade can't take anything from you that you haven't already given.
premeditatio malorum. 2,000 years old. still works.
Real men’s confidence is earned: “Even if I lose all of it today, I’ll build something better tomorrow.”
Build your skills, your discipline, your mindset, and your balls so thoroughly that starting over feels like an exciting challenge instead of a nightmare.
Why Humans Are Wired to Expect the Worst:
1. Negativity bias is a hardwired feature of the human brain, not a personality flaw. The brain processes negative information faster, more thoroughly and with greater weight than positive information of equal intensity.
2. The brain dedicates more neural real estate to detecting threat than to registering pleasure. Evolution did not reward optimism. It rewarded survival.
3. A single negative event requires approximately five positive events of equal size to restore emotional balance. This ratio has been consistently found across cultures and age groups.
4. The anterior cingulate cortex scans constantly for what could go wrong even during moments of happiness. The brain is never fully off duty from threat detection.
5. Negative memories are encoded more deeply and retrieved more easily than positive ones. The brain files bad experiences in a more accessible location than good ones.
6. Catastrophising, imagining the worst possible outcome, activates the brain's planning system. The brain genuinely believes it is being helpful when it spirals.
7. People who grew up in unpredictable or unsafe environments develop a stronger negativity bias because the brain adapted to a world where threats were real and constant.
8. The media exploits negativity bias deliberately. Negative headlines generate significantly more clicks, more engagement and more emotional response than positive ones of equal newsworthiness.
9. Worrying feels productive because it triggers a mild sense of control. The brain confuses the act of thinking about a problem with actually solving it.
10. Humans overestimate how long negative events will make them feel bad and underestimate their own ability to recover. This is called impact bias and it affects almost every prediction people make about their future emotional state.
11. The default mode network, the brain's resting state, naturally drifts toward unresolved problems and potential threats rather than pleasant memories or neutral thoughts.
12. Negativity bias can be gradually retrained through deliberate practice of noticing and holding positive experiences for longer than feels natural, a process neuroscientists call experience dependent neuroplasticity.
Un neurólogo de Zúrich dijo:
El cerebro no se agota por el estrés, se agota por el exceso de pensamiento emocional (y la cura es sorprendentemente física).
Encontró el antídoto en algo sorprendentemente simple:
Interrupción física.
the trick to overcoming anxiety, ego, emotional fragility, etc
is just to force yourself into being comfortable at high mental speeds so that it doesn’t matter
what I mean is that the internal mental-emotional perception of time is kinda based on several things - neurotransmisson speed and recovery
how fast your mind can rip through something and how fast your receptors can recover so you can keep going
anxiety, ego fragility, emotional insecurity, etc
all these things are blockers that prevent you from your cognitive churn and progressing
it’s like procrastinating, if you play avoidance with your emotions over fear of embarrassment or whatever it may be, then you’re only slowing yourself down, causing dissonance between your internal time and the external reality, becoming emotionally and experientially retarded in a sense
the trick therefore is to feel everything and move through it quickly
the more you avoid, the longer you wait with expressing your emotions, the more you’re actually drawing out the negative experiences of it, like pulling a bandaid off very very slowly instead of just ripping it off straight away
the only way to grow is by confronting everything and feeling the pain of everything and continuing to go and doing it again and again and again until you’ve conditioned yourself to always remain in motion and in churn
motion becomes the state of rest and intensity becomes the state of motion
I’ve made many mistakes in my life and had a lot of trauma in my childhood, by most standards I should’ve been cooked and given up a long time ago or settled into a less ambitious state and been content with a steady rate of corporate climbing or whatever it is
but I cannot give up, I cannot be satisfied with an average normie upper class life, I cannot stop
motion is my stimulation, to stop is to be in a state of depression
it’s about transmission and recovery speed like I said
most dwell too much on their actions, or fear too much making mistakes, or fear being embarrassed, or get too self-satisfied when things are good
it’s like fearing rejection
most men will not take the risk of hitting on a girl they’re attracted to out of fear of rejection
but that fear is an illusion in their mind, the reality is they are already rejecting themselves in their mind before even taking the risk
and that same principle applies across so many levels and aspects of reality
just the basic fear of saying or tweeting something stupid keeps most people locked in perpetual ‘NPC mode’ where they never self-actualize because they’re afraid of judgement, mistakes, and embarrassment
but that fear is far worse than the actual mistake or embarrassment happening itself
like with the rejection idea - the embarrassment of rejection is temporary and goes away somewhat quickly depending on how conditioned your emotional recovery is
but the fear and the prison of already rejecting yourself in your mind before you even try is permanent and will stain your mind forever
and the more times you do this the more the stains compound and the stronger the prison gets and the more insecure and fragile you become
but if you go the other way - the more pain you face, the more embarrassment you feel
the faster your recovery becomes, the lighter you quicker you become
it’s why I’m often paradoxical or misunderstood by a lot of people on here especially
to an insecure or fragile person they can read one of my crash out tweets or expressive tweets and think I’m burned out and stressed and done
the reason they see it that way is because if they ever acted that way it would be because they were having a mental break
while for me it’s either just baiting or venting or expressing myself
you see?
I can be having a cluster headache where I’m in excruciating pain and 25 mins later I’m back to work in a good mood
or whatever it is
it’s about recovery and motion
things only hurt you as much as you delay and drag them out - thus speed is security
“Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character.
Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.”
— Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang
The more you understand this world, the more you destroy yourself.
That’s why fools are happy, and intelligent people live in loneliness.
The more you understand the world, the more illusions fall away.
You begin to see patterns, motives, and contradictions that once went unnoticed.
With understanding comes disillusionment.
Expectations shrink.
Trust becomes cautious.
Innocence fades.
Fools appear happy not because they live better lives, but because they carry fewer questions.
They are spared the weight of constant reflection.
Intelligence often leads to loneliness.
Not from arrogance, but from distance.
It becomes harder to relate when you see beneath the surface while others remain comfortable on it.
Yet this awareness is not a curse.
It is a responsibility.
Wisdom hurts before it heals.
Clarity isolates before it frees.
Learn the world.
But do not forget to protect yourself from it.
